  • Publication number: 20250094150
    Abstract: Systems and methods for synthesizing software application code for a software application. An example method includes receiving, from a user device, an initial prompt comprising a natural language description of a plurality of specification elements defining a functionality and a scope of a software application; synthesizing software application code for the software application by processing the initial prompt through a synthesis model, wherein the synthesis model is trained to: generate, based on the initial prompt, a specification document comprising the specification elements; and generate the software application code for the software application by determining a bidirectional mapping between the software application code and the specification elements; and deploying, to a deployment platform, the generated software application code for execution.

  • Patent number: 9166922
    Abstract: A communication device for an industrial communication network which can be operated in a redundant manner comprises a first and a second transmitting and receiving unit that transmit data packets in a bumpy or bumpless manner inside the industrial communication network and are selectively changeable over to a bumpy or bumpless transmission mode. An evaluation unit is connected to the first and/or second transmitting and receiving unit(s) and detects data packets to be transmitted in the bumpy or bumpless manner inside the industrial communication network. Redundancy handling and filter units for received redundant data packets are deactivated when a data packet to be transmitted in the bumpy manner is detected. A memory unit is assigned to the first and/or second transmitting and receiving unit(s) and buffers at least one data packet to be transmitted in the bumpy manner during a predefined period of time in the bumpy transmission mode.

  • Patent number: 8986602
    Abstract: The reactor is used for producing nano-particles of metal from volatile moieties in flow through mode. The reactor comprises at least a first feeder and a second feeder on one end of the vessel. The first feeder feeds the moiety in the form of an educt fluid into the reactor. This fluid is a mixture of metal moieties and a bearer fluid, entering the reactor in a vaporized state, in which the bearer fluid is used as a carrier gas. The second feeder is used as a radiator means to heat up the educt fluid within the reactor. By providing the heating fluid through the second feeder control over some environmental conditions like ambient temperature within the reactor is achieved and dissociation of the metal moieties under such controlled conditions leads to quantitative production of selected nano-particle morphologies.

  • Patent number: 8943188
    Abstract: The invention relates to an automation network and to automation equipment, network components and field devices for an automation network of this type. The network components transmit messages concerning their status to the automation equipment by means of a communication mechanism that functions according to field communication automation technology. Said automation equipment receives the status messages, evaluates them, monitors the operation of the network and controls said operation using the status messages. As the automation equipment thus contains the complete picture of the process and the network, it can react directly and rapidly to problems of the network. This eliminates the need, for example, for an additional SNMP/OPC server or a network management station.

  • Publication number: 20140129257
    Abstract: High-risk patients may be enrolled in an intensive care program to reduce the likelihood of recurring symptoms. A method for identifying and enrolling these high-risk patients in the intensive care program may include receiving a plurality of patient health profiles corresponding to a plurality of patients from an electronic medical record database. Then, a first subset of patients of the plurality of patients may be identified to be at high risk of suffering an episode. Then, a patient from the first subset of patients may be enrolled in an intensive care program designed to reduce the rate of episodes for the patient. The intensive care program may involve coordinated treatments from a continuum of healthcare professions. The healthcare professionals may use data within the electronic medical record to improve treatment of the high-risk patient.

  • Publication number: 20120048064
    Abstract: A production complex is used for producing nano-particles of metal from volatile moieties like metal carbonyls in a flow through reactor. The carbonyls are fed into the reactor through a first feeder, which is a moiety feeder. The moiety, a mixture of metal carbonyl and a bearer fluid, is entering the reactor in a vaporized state. Decomposition of carbonyls is carried out by controlled ambient temperature within the reactor, which is provided by means of a heated inert gas through a heating feed line of the production complex into a second feeder of the reactor, when the production complex is in an operational state. Gases like nitrogen are heated up in units of the production complex as heating feed. The gas supply unit in pre-operational state is used to provide inert gas for cleaning a carbonyl feed line in order to improve the quality of nano-particles of metal produced.
