Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives from an application a set of data objects for transmission to a computing system. The set of data objects have a type. The program further identifies a data handler definition from a plurality of data handler definitions based on the type of the set of data objects. Each data handler definition in the plurality of data handler definitions specifies a type of data object and a communication protocol. The program also transmits the set of data objects to the computing system using the communication protocol specified in the identified data handler definition.

Abstract: A sensor platform for the assessment of the condition and quality of fluids while in service is based on a combination of solid-state light sources (LEDs) and detectors housed within a single integrated package. The sensor platform configured to be standalone in operation and comprises interfacing optics and acquisition and processing electronics. The sensor platform is configured to obtain inputs from multiple stimulus points and correlates these to changes in the overall composition or condition of the fluid. The sensing method can be described as a combination of a differential sensor, by monitoring changes from the normal status of the fluid, and an inferential sensor where changes are interpreted in terms of global impact rather than specific localized changes in component concentration.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a selection of a type of data to replicate from the first computing system to a second computing system. The program further receives a selection of a form in a set of forms. Each form in the set of forms is associated with a set of fields for data having the selected type of data and managed the second computing system. The program also sends the second computing system a request for the set of fields associated with the selected form. The program further generates a mapping between the set of fields associated with the selected form and a set of fields of data managed by the first computing system.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a specification of a set of attributes associated with a plurality of data objects managed by a first system. Each attribute in the set of attributes is associated with a different level in a hierarchy that includes a set of levels. The program further generates a hierarchical list of the set of attributes associated with the plurality of data objects based on the hierarchy. The program also replicates the plurality of data objects from the first system to a second system based on the hierarchical list of the set of attributes associated with the plurality of data objects in order for the second system to store the plurality of data objects according to the hierarchy.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives from a system data comprising a set of expense entries. The program further determines, for each expense entry in the set of expense entries, an entry use case. The program also processes, for each expense entry in the set of expense entries, the expense entry based on the determined entry use case. The program further generates a document based on the processed set of expense entries.

Abstract: An annular clamping nut which is provided for being placed onto the end of a tie bar, in order to brace the latter, and which has in addition to a central recess for receiving the tie bar parallel to a longitudinal direction passages at uniform radial spacings in the ring circumferential direction which are directed parallel to the longitudinal direction of the central recess and are provided for receiving clamping screws. An external thread is provided on the outer surface of the clamping nut, which outer surface is arranged on a side which lies substantially opposite the wall of the central recess, which external thread runs substantially in the ring circumferential direction of the outer surface.

Abstract: In one embodiment, first and second computer systems are integrated to exchange information and coordinate processing of data. A first computer system may access data in a database for a document ready for external processing. The data may be stored in a queue and retrieved by the second system using a request. The second system sends an acknowledgement when the data is received. The data in the queue may be locked until a confirmation is received in the first system that processing on the second system is complete. In particular embodiments, the first system may be a cloud computer system and the second system a backend computer system.

Abstract: A method and system for time dependent search is described. A search manager may receive a query for time dependent information relating to a base object and a time period. The search manager may search a search optimized storage system of technical objects for a technical object that matches the query. Each technical object may include a reference to time dependent information stored by a base object and a validity period. The validity period for each technical object is chosen by time stretching logic such that valid time dependent information is available for all time periods.
