  • Patent number: 8036989
    Abstract: One implementation provides a computer program product tangibly embodied in an information carrier. The computer program product includes instructions that, when executed, perform a method for processing a message related to an electronic document. The method includes transmitting an electronic document having a unique identifier from a first system to a second system and receiving at the first system a message from the second system related to content contained in the electronic document. The message includes a predetermined field for the unique identifier that links the message to the electronic document. The method may also include notifying a user of the first system that the first system received the message. The notifying may include updating a list of tasks. One of the tasks may indicate that the user may view the received message on the first system.

  • Publication number: 20050033776
    Abstract: This invention relates to the necessary processes and application enhancements to provide customer extension functionality in terms of displaying additional data fields in a web application. When a message (310), describing the additional fields on header and/or item level by means of name-value pairs, is received, the additional fields are mapped into the database (250) of the business application. To get displayed the additional fields are mapped from the database (250) into an instance of a container class in the model component. By passing the instance of the container class from the model component to the view component, an HTTP response is created using the information provided by the instance of the container class. An HTML Browser (200) receiving the HTTP response displays the additional fields.

  • Publication number: 20050028083
    Abstract: This invention relates to the necessary processes and application enhancements to provide customer extension functionality in terms of displaying additional configurable text fields in a web application. When a message (310), describing the additional text fields on header and/or item level by means of name-value pairs, is received, the additional text fields are mapped into the database (250) of the business application. To get displayed the additional fields are mapped from the database (250) into an instance of a container class in the model component. By passing the instance of the container class from the model component to the view component, an HTTP response is created using the information provided by the instance of the container class.

  • Patent number: 4493210
    Abstract: An anti-block control system has four identically designed control channels. Safety circuits (8, 8') are also provided for monitoring the system, as are devices for testing the operability of the system. In this test, performed while the vehicle is stopped or when it is started, a test signal is fed into the channels and the effects of this signal are compared, in pairs, at locations of the controller corresponding to one another. A signal train is formed when the comparison is made. In accordance with the invention, two safety circuits (8, 8') are provided, each associated with a pair of channels, and the signals from all the channels are supplied, in pairs, to the safety circuits. The safety circuits include timing elements. During a test cycle, the signal trains in the two channel pairs generated by using the test signal are compared with one another by use of two comparator circuits (23, 23'), and in the case of non-agreement, a warning or switching signal (18, 18', 31) is generated.
