Publication number: 20130085958Abstract: A system for processing electronic documents includes an existing business system (or systems) connected to a separate control system. The resulting composite system provides a framework that enables a flexible and customizable process definition for handling incoming documents. Within the process definition all the processing steps which are desired for handling an incoming electronic document can be predefined. Processing steps like checking the signature and authorizing an incoming legal document can be implemented in the control system and steps like posting a goods receipt or an invoice are implemented in one of the connected business systems. The content of the incoming document is evaluated to determine which business process may be used to carry out the necessary processing steps for the incoming electronic document. The assigned business process and a related process flow sequence define the processing steps to be implemented.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2011Publication date: April 4, 2013Applicant: SAP AGInventors: Oliver BECK, Frank BEUNINGS, Hans CHELNIAK

Patent number: 7275586Abstract: The invention relates to a heating or air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle, by which individual zones of the vehicle interior can be supplied with separately temperature-controlled air. An improved heating or air-conditioning system, which requires just a small amount of installation space, feeds differently temperature-controlled air to a plurality of air-conditioning zones. Despite the small amount of installation space, optimum mixing of cold air and warm air takes place in the heating or air-conditioning system, with the result that the air emerging from air-outlet openings in a respective air-conditioning zone have a constant temperature over the outlet cross section.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2005Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignee: Behr GmbH & Co.Inventors: Oliver Beck, Michael Förster, Christian Grömmer, Norbert Wöcht

Patent number: 5853323Abstract: A heating or air conditioning unit for the interior of a motor vehicle including installation frames having louvers being inserted into a receptacle of the housing provided for that purpose. The installation frame has a profile on its frame sides so that the installation frame is held in a positive-locking manner in a receptacle of the housing. The profile has a wedge-shaped structure, thin ribs extending, running apart, along a frame side in the insertion direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1997Date of Patent: December 29, 1998Assignee: Behr GmbH & Co.Inventors: Oliver Beck, Ralf Berndt, Walter Denk, Hans Juergen Drobner, Manfred Fuchs, Gabriele Herbold, Ingo Putz, Reinhold Schork, Thomas Spranger, Walter Ullrich

Patent number: 5577422Abstract: A control panel assembly for an air conditioning system in a motor vehicle with continuously freely accessible primary actuation elements is provided with selectively accessible secondary actuation elements arranged in an installation shaft recess in the front panel section of the control panel. The recess is covered with a cover element which can be moved about a horizontal axis of rotation. In order to provide access to the secondary actuation elements, an opening movement of the cover element uncovers the installation shaft recess with the control panel of the secondary actuation elements being simultaneously moved into a position which is accessible to the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1994Date of Patent: November 26, 1996Assignee: Mercedes-Benz AGInventors: Oliver Beck, Martin Spengler, Manfred Ohlhausen, Dieter Heinle
