Abstract: Technologies are described for replicating selected changes to planned working time from a first system, such as an HR system, to a second system, such as a payroll system. For example, upon receiving an indication of a change to a planned working time for one or more workers on one or more days, the first system can evaluate the change to determine whether it should be replicated to the second system. The determination can be based on whether the change is a temporary change, as well as based on information read from a data replication configuration object, a data replication period object, and/or an in-sync work schedule object. Upon determining that the change should be replicated to the second system, a data replication proxy object can be created based on the change and used to transmit data regarding the change for replication at the second system.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for implementing ad-hoc time accounts are provided herein. General time accounts can be established for users in a group of users. The general time accounts reflect an amount of leave allocated to the user over a time period, and can be created, for example, as a batch process at the beginning of a time period. A request for an additional leave acquisition can be received for a particular user. An ad-hoc time account can be generated reflecting the additional leave acquisition request. In a time management application, the ad-hoc time account and the general time account can be integrated to reflect a total amount of leave for the user.

The method further includes receiving an incoming time record which at least partially overlaps an existing time record, the incoming time record having a first time type and the existing time record having a second time type. The method further includes performing a modification to the stored time records based on the incoming time record and the existing time record.

Abstract: A method may include generating, for a first time period having a first length, an instance of a collector object. The collector object may be configured to collect values over time periods having the first length. The instance of the collector object may be updated based on one or more values from a first record. The first record may store values collected over a second time period having a second length. A valuation operation may be performed based at least on the first instance of the collector object.

Abstract: Techniques are described for generating a graphical user interface for presenting a list of objects. The graphical user interface can include a selection zone encompassed by a partial outer ring that is configured to present a portion of the list of objects. Rotational touch gestures detected in the selection zone can cause the list of objects to scroll around the partial outer ring. The scroll rate of the objects can depend on the number of touch inputs detected as part of the touch gesture.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for providing a master data framework. The framework receives user input and automatically generates, in accordance with the input, a persistent definition of a business object type. The input can be simple declarations and need not be provided in any particular programming language. Definitions generated by the framework adhere to a same data model, regardless of the business object type they are defining. The framework allows the user to create a definition of a business object type by associating two or more definitions of other business object types. The framework provides services that can be applied, without further customization, to any definition of business object types generated by the framework. These services, for example, can be used by a calling application to instantiate business objects or to change a state of a business object instance.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for automatic translation code generation. The client transmits a data object message comprising the current data model of the client to the server. The server automatically generates a new translation code based on the current data model of the client. The newly generated translation code may then be used to convert the data in the server into a data format required by the client. If the current data model of the client changes, the translation code on the server may be automatically adapted according to the changed data format and data on the server is converted with the adapted translation code.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the detection of electrically conducting objects with: a first and a second coil, which can produce simultaneously magnetic fields with opposite polarity and a third coil which is arranged in the region of the opposing magnetic fields, and an electronic means, which during and/or after the supply of the first and second coils with a current pulse acquires an induction voltage in the third coil, or which, during the supply of the third coil with a current pulse, acquires an induction voltage in the first and second coils, so that an electrically conducting object produces a detectable signal in the acquired induction voltage when present in the range of one of the magnetic fields, wherein the current pulse comprises a step-shaped rise and/or a step-shaped fall, such as for example in the shape of a rectangular pulse.
