Publication number: 20160007748Abstract: A drive device for a movable furniture part includes an ejecting element for moving the movable furniture part from a closed position to an open position, an ejection force accumulator that applies force to the ejecting element, and a locking device for locking the ejecting element by a locking element in a locking section. The locking device can be unlocked by overpressing the movable furniture part from the closed position to an overpressing position in the closing direction. The movable furniture part can be moved in the opening direction by the ejection force accumulator and the ejecting element, and the locking device has a pre-locking section for the locking element. The locking element is moved from the pre-locking section into the locking section via a push-through evasion section by pushing the movable furniture part during closing into a push-through position behind the closing position in the closing direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2015Publication date: January 14, 2016Inventors: Ingo GASSER, Michael BLUM, Hermann HAEMMERLE

Patent number: 8332459Abstract: A predetermined business task of a composite application can be fulfilled. The composite application can include a set of components. The composite application is instantiated by a template means and a predefined collaborative context module controls the interaction of the set of components during the runtime of the composite application. A set of components fulfilling individual services on individual different server systems is leveraged by the composite application. During the instantiation of the composite application from a template, the referenced components (as types) are instantiated leading to runtime instances of these components. The interaction of the different components is controlled on individual different server systems utilizing a primary context module.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2009Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Blum, Peter Fischer, Hendrik Haddorp, Stefan Hepper, Stefan Liesche, Michael Marks, Thomas Stober
