Abstract: The present subject mater relates to human resources data processing and, more particularly, to an employment object. Various embodiments provide systems, software, and method to maintain a first set of employee data in an employee object including an employee record for each employee, wherein the first set of employee data is valid across one or more other objects, and maintain a second set of employee data in an employment object in employment records. In some embodiments each employment record is relationally associated to single employee record and the second set of employee data is valid across one or more, but not all, other objects.

Abstract: The present subject mater relates to human resources data processing system and, more particularly, to separation of work agreement and employee in such systems. Various embodiments includes systems, software, and methods to maintaining a first set of employee data in an employee object including an employee record for each employee and maintain a second set of employee data in a work agreement object in work agreement records. In some embodiments, one or more work agreement records are relationally associated with each employee record.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system and method models a business process object. The system and method provides a business object template having a plurality of data nodes, actions, and queries. One or more business process objects are instantiated from the business object template. The one or more business objects are associated with one or more master data objects. The one or more business process objects are then enabled to require an approval before changing a value of a data node in the one or more master data objects. The approval is a standardized approval process resulting from the instantiation of the business process object from the business object template.

Abstract: A work chamber is filled with a hydraulic liquid and is disposed between the legs of the spring body of a hydraulic radial bearing. The work chamber is connected to a compensating chamber via a transfer channel. The desired absorption of disturbing noises in the region of 130 Hz is obtained with a special dimensioning of the cross-sectional area of the work chamber, the dynamic swell stiffness of the spring body and the length (L) and the total cross-sectional area (A2) of the transfer channel. The ratio of the effective cross-sectional area (A1) of the work chamber to the cross-sectional area (A2) of the channel lies preferably between 0.1 and 10 while the ratio of the length (L) of the transfer channel to the total cross-sectional area (A2) of the transfer channel is in the range of 0.1 to 4.0.

Abstract: A method includes receiving compensation information of a particular employee of a first company from a database, receiving compensation information associated with a second company from a different database, and presenting in a graphical user interface (GUI) a graphical representation comparing the compensation information of the particular employee of the first company and the compensation information associated with the second company.

Abstract: A volume-changeable work chamber (10) is filled with a hydraulic liquid and is disposed between the legs (8a, 8b) of the spring body (8) of a hydraulic radial bearing (2). The work chamber (10) is connected to at least one compensating chamber (20a and/or 20b) via at least one transfer channel (14a and/or 14b). the desired absorption of disturbing noises especially in the region of 130 Hz is obtained with a special dimensioning of the cross-sectional area (piston surface, A) of the work chamber (10), the dynamic swell stiffness of the spring body (8) and the length (L) and the total cross-sectional area (A2) of the at least one transfer channel (14a and/or 14b). The ratio of the effective cross-sectional area (A1) of the work chamber (piston, 10) to the cross-sectional area (A2) of the at least one channel (14a and/or 14b) lies preferably between 0.

Abstract: In a method for producing a winding for electrical machines, a plurality of conductor elements are fitted on a winding former or stator tooth. The conductor elements are aligned parallel to one another in a predetermined order and are placed alongside one another in a slot while being fitted onto the winding former, with the predetermined order being reversed at least once while being fitted, so that the elements change their position on the winding former, at least in places. The winding process is carried out by machine, with the winding former being rotated under a number of wire guide nozzles, the wire guide nozzles being rotated through 180° as a group after a defined number of turns.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for a communication system with automatic download capability from a service provider network. The downloaded content is tailored depending on local conditions. Local parameters defined by the local conditions are coded and input. User preferences defining a content profile for a user are stored in a memory file and are coder per the local parameters. The local parameters automatically key the user preferences for use as a search engine filter to find content associated with the local conditions. Any found content is automatically downloaded to the communication device to be played back to the user via a user interface.

Abstract: A method for varying the spring rigidity of an elastomer engine mount for motor vehicles, having two rubber bodies being at least intermittently connected in series, includes intermittently spanning one of the two series-connected rubber bodies as a function of predetermined operating parameters with rigid components of the mount by means of a separate force brought to bear from the outside. Induced forces are elastically effectively received with only the other of the two rubber bodies. An elastic engine mount, especially for motor vehicles, includes rotationally symmetrical rubber bodies disposed one above the other in series. The first rubber body is fixed between an engine mount plate and a support plate. The second rubber body is fixed between the support plate and a retaining plate to be pivoted at a vehicle body. An annular housing surrounds and partly encompasses the second rubber body.

Abstract: A method for varying the spring rigidity of an elastomer engine mount, such as for motor vehicles, includes bringing one of two at least intermittently simultaneously loadable parallel-connected spring bodies into continuous engagement with supports and bringing the other of the two spring bodies into intermittent contact with supports as a function of predetermined operating parameters, for absorbing induced forces in parallel with the two spring bodies. The other spring is connected in parallel with a force brought to bear separately from the outside for causing it to contact its supports. An elastic engine mount for motor vehicles includes a hollow-cylindrical spring body and a solid-cylindrical spring body disposed concentrically relative to one another between an engine mount plate and a support plate to be fixed to a vehicle body.

Abstract: An annular resilient body of fiber composite material for vibration-insulating support of drive assemblies includes at least one wound body having a circumferential direction and a loading direction. The at least one wound body includes a plurality of wound concentric layers formed of synthetic resin impregnated fibers extending in the circumferential direction and transverse to the load direction, and at least one layer of fibers extending at an angle relative to the concentric layers. Force-inducing fastening elements are disposed on two opposite sides of the at least one wound body. The fastening elements are formed of metal brackets at least partly encompassing the at least one wound body and elastic rubber layers bracing the metal brackets against the at least one wound body.
