Abstract: An apparatus is described herein related to remote monitoring of perishable trade items in environmentally-controlled storage containers. Relevant changes in the container environment are detected through various sensors-based event detectors. A timer serves to trigger a plurality of distinct alert states, comprising pre-alerts and full alerts, following an event-initiated time threshold expiry. A data repository of generic merchandise data is accessed in order to derive suitable timer pre-sets in relation to time thresholds for alert states. An account configuration engine serves to customize the threshold presets to the specific items stored inside the container.

Abstract: A gaze initiated interaction technique for facilitating interaction between wearers of head-mountable devices. Methods are shown which allow users to interact with each other following an event of interlocking gaze. Methods are also shown which allows the operator of a personal point-of-interest beacon to control and limit interaction from the public thus ensuring a greater degree of privacy. Methods are also introduced which allow a mode of interaction to be determined by a remote service after mutual authorization of each interacting user. This disclosure also introduces a system of a head-mountable device which comprises a directional beacon transceiver system using beams in the infrared light spectrum enabling the detection of a gaze interlock event.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are described herein related to the art of augmented reality type monitor virtualization. A monitor-virtualization system, such as a head-mountable device, an ophthalmic device or an intraocular implant, can render a virtual monitor in augmented reality. A liquid lens or an optical phased array can position the virtual monitor in space by optical means. A dimmable occlusion matrix can be additionally operated such as to make the image of the virtual monitor substantially opaque. A coordinator module can synchronize the activities of monitor positioning and occlusion masking. The virtual monitor can be anchored to real-world artifacts using bokode technology. Various dimming modes of the occlusion matrix reduce operator fatigue. The apparatus may operate in smart sunglass mode when the virtual monitor function is paused. The virtual monitor can be hidden or visualized differently when thresholds in terms of user geolocation or viewing angle are breached.

Abstract: An apparatus, a method and a non-transitory computer readable medium are described herein related to extracting SAP archive data on a non-original system. In this way a user may extract business data from any ADK-format archive file in isolation, independent of the original system and without any accompanying metadata. A cloud-based on-demand distributed architecture with a plurality of virtualized SAP Netweaver Application Servers ABAP may speed up the extraction process from ADK-format files by an arbitrary order of magnitude.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for processing information related to an extract-transform-load (ETL) data migration, may include extracting a full set of transactional data, master data and customizing data from a source system, separating said transactional data into history data and operational data, creating a copy of said source system without said transactional data, creating an instance of a target system by performing a combined system conversion and database migration on said copy of said source system, transforming said operational data in such a way that it becomes compatible with a data schema of a database for operational data on said target system, loading said transformed operational data into said database for operational data, loading said history data into a database for history data on an archive system, and loading a search help module in relation to a user query for transactional data on said target system.

Abstract: A wink gesture based control technique for entering text, selecting, controlling and manipulating virtual objects and smart applications on a display using facial gestures of the user, in particular winking, blinking and squinting movements of the eyes. The wink gesture based control technique utilizes wink gestures of a user to select, control, and manipulate virtual objects on a display. A head mounted device is adapted to allow detection and classification of specific wink gestures. The head mounted device in some embodiments may also be adapted to recognize certain characteristics of the wink gestures, such as duration or amplitude, to allow enhanced navigation of a computer interface.

Abstract: Apparatus are described herein related to augmenting human vision by means of adaptive polarization filter grids. A preferred embodiment is described as smart sunglasses, realized as see through head mountable device (HMD) configured to reduce glare originating from polarized light. Each eyeglass of the HMD is associated with a grid comprising a plurality of dynamically configurable polarization filters placed in the path of the light. A polarization analyzer module analyzes the polarization characteristics of a field of view and performs an optimization calculation. The polarization analyzer controls the said grid via a controller module in such a way that the filter state of each grid element can be addressed separately. The grid of polarization filters causes the polarization characteristics of the incident light to be adapted in such a way as to reduce glare and/or to provide a user of the said head mountable device with an enhanced visual perception of the field of view.

Abstract: An non-transitory computer readable medium is described herein related to enhancing an SAP Archive Information System running on a SAP NetWeaver Application Server. The enhancements enable the SAP Archive Information System to query a remote relational database for archived business data. The enhancements offers multiple alternative ways of interfacing with such a database and of merging the query results obtained from such database into the SAP-standard output structures of the SAP Archive Information System.

Abstract: An apparatus, a method and a non-transitory computer readable medium are described herein related to generating views for archived business objects. The views display query results which are retrieved from a relational database for archived business data. The views are generated with a view generator which makes use of both a catalog, a standard business object and a business object parser which may detect differences in terms of field names and foreign-key relationships between a standard business object and a customer-enhanced business object. The combination of standard business objects with a business object parser enables the re-use of components from a standard library of business objects across various clients without resulting data loss, especially when there are client-specific deviations from the standard model of business objects.
