Abstract: A method and apparatus for capturing annotations about database material in a way that allows queries with conditions or predicates on both the database material and the annotations. Database material may be text, computer programs, graphics, audio, spreadsheets, or any other material which may be stored and indexed. Database material may be in one or multiple sources, and annotations may be stored together with the original material or in a separate store. Annotations can be used to capture information such as additional facts about the database material, the opinions and judgments of experts about the database material, and/or links to other related material. Annotations may be captured in a structured form to enhance queryability and semantic interpretation.

Abstract: A special node is used in a distributed time-triggered cluster. The special node comprises protocol functionality to establish a time base to use in communicating with a plurality of end nodes and to source timing-related frames to the plurality of end nodes in accordance with the distributed time-triggered communication protocol. The protocol functionality establishes the time base without regard to any timing-related frame sourced from any of the plurality of end nodes. In one embodiment, the protocol functionality of the special node is implemented in a low complexity manner. In one embodiment, the cluster comprises a star topology and the special node performs at least one of semantic filtering and rate enforcement. In another embodiment, the cluster comprises a bus or peer-to-peer topology and each end node is coupled to the communication channel using a low-complexity special local bus guardian.

Abstract: A method for presenting alert notifications includes identifying an alert condition for one of a master device, a slave device, and a production device. Operational states of the slave device and the master device are determined. For each of the slave device and the master device, upon a determination that the given device is in an idle state, that device is caused to display a notification corresponding to the identified alert condition.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and computer program product to access metadata from a plurality of data servers from a federated database management system are provided. In one embodiment, a request for metadata, from a client application, is received by the federated database management system. Data servers which are accessible from the federated database management system are identified. For each data server, metadata describing data of a data source of that data server is retrieved in accordance with the application request. The retrieved metadata from each of the data servers is aggregated to produce an aggregated result in a uniform format. The aggregated result is provided. In another embodiment, for each data server, a source metadata request for metadata of that data server is generated in accordance with the application request and a source metadata application programming interface. A view is created based on the source metadata request for metadata for each data server.

Abstract: A body structure is provided for a motor vehicle that includes, two side sills running in the vehicle longitudinal direction, between which a floor group is situated, and two rear frame profiles rigidly connected to the floor group, which extend from the floor group to the rear. The body structure has a structure crossbeam running in the vehicle transverse direction, which rigidly connects each of the two side sills and also the two rear frame profiles directly to one another.

Abstract: An impact limiting system of a vehicle is provided with a cladding element and bumper substructure. The bumper substructure is spaced apart from the cladding element, and is covered by the cladding element. The bumper substructure is arranged on the vehicle body, and exhibits impact energy absorbing elements. The impact limiting system exhibits an impact force conveying element between the cladding element and bumper substructure.

Abstract: A vehicle is provided that includes, but is not limited to an energy accumulator in an energy accumulator area. The vehicle also includes, but is not limited to a rear axle area having a rear axle frame and a front axle area having a front axle frame. Furthermore, the vehicle includes, but is not limited to interrupted crash load pathways in the vehicle floor area, which are limited to the vehicle passenger compartment. The energy accumulator is situated on a carrier system in the vehicle floor area, the carrier system closing the interrupted crash load pathways of the vehicle between the rear axle frame and/or the front axle frame.

Abstract: A floor structure of a motor vehicle is provided that includes, but is not limited to a mounting for a starter battery in a cross member adjoining wheel arches for rear wheels. The cross member comprises two stiffening webs and is designed tub-shaped between the stiffening webs. Because of this, the starter battery is reliably protected against a crash.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system and program for gathering configuration settings from a source system to apply to a target system. A source system is queried to determine configuration settings in the source system. A target system is queried to determine configuration settings in the target system. A user is enabled to enter configuration settings. The determined and user entered configuration settings are processed to generate commands to configure the target system to implement the configuration settings in the source system. The generated commands are executed to configure the target system.

Abstract: A device for guiding two sub-assemblies of a motor vehicle displaceable in relation to one another. Said device comprises two guide elements positioned at a distance from one another in a transversal direction that is perpendicular to the guide direction and two guide units, in which a respective guide element is mounted so that it is displaceable in the guide direction. The guide elements are intercoupled and stops are allocated to the guide elements on the guide units, said stops limiting a displacement of the guide elements in relation to the respective guide units in the transversal direction, perpendicular to the guide direction. A first of the two guide elements in the allocated guide unit is mounted perpendicularly to the guide direction with a negligible displacement margin. The second guide element is mounted in the allocated guide unit with a greater displacement margin in the transversal direction.
