  • HIGH-STRENGTH ALUMINIUM ALLOYS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS
    Publication number: 20220002844
    Abstract: The present invention relates to aluminium alloys in powder form having a content of at least two elements M from the group comprising Cr, Fe, Ni and Co and at least one element N from the group comprising Ti, Y and Ce, the alloy having a total amount of elements M in the range of 1 to 16 wt %, a total amount of elements N in the range of 0.5 to 5 wt % if the aluminium alloy contains Ti or Ce, and 1 to 10 wt %, if the aluminium alloy contains Y. Such aluminium alloys can be used in additive manufacturing processes, such as selective laser melting, to produce high-strength three-dimensional objects which can be used, for example, in engines for automobiles. The present invention further relates to processes and apparatuses for manufacturing three-dimensional objects from such aluminium alloys, processes for manufacturing such aluminium alloys in powder form, three-dimensional objects manufactured from such aluminium alloys in powder form, and specific aluminium alloys.

  • Modeled associations for business object data structures
    Patent number: 9262549
    Abstract: A service request to execute an operation on a business object is received. Thereafter, a metadata repository is polled to obtain a modeled association corresponding to the service request. The modeled association involves at least one node of the business object. The at least one node of the business object is then called using the modeled association to respond to the service request. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Layering of business object models via extension techniques
    Patent number: 9182994
    Abstract: An extension node can be defined in a second layer of a software architecture for a first business object existing in a first layer and originally having an association with a second business object that is also in the first layer. The extension node can be defined to have an association with the second business object existing in a second layer of the software architecture. The association of the second business object can be altered from the first business object to the extension node so that at run time, metadata defining one or more nodes of the first business object and the extension node can be read from a metadata repository and a run time version of the first business object can be constructed at run time in a run time business object load based on the metadata.

  • Logically centralized scrap management using planning operations
    Patent number: 8190461
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and software for processing or otherwise managing scrap information in a business application. For example, the software can instantiate a planning business object using production model data for production activities. The business object data and scrap information may be used to calculate requirements for a production planning model. The calculations may include adding an activity yield to activity scrap and fixed resource scrap to generate a component quantity. The component quantity can be multiplied by a component scrap ratio to generate additional component requirements. The component quantity may be added to the additional component requirements to determine a total quantity.
