Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining the position of a substrate within a closed chamber, wherein the substrate is moved within the chamber by a transport system comprising at least one rotating shaft. A load-converting element is provided adjacent to at least one of the rotating shafts, wherein the load-converting element detects a load acting on the at least one rotating shaft and converts it into an electrical parameter. While no substrate is present on the at least one rotating shaft, a first output signal corresponding to a first value of the electrical parameter is measured. The output signal is then monitored and a presence of the substrate on the at least one rotating shaft is detected when the output signal differs from the first output signal by at least a predetermined amount.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for generating data. An example method includes identifying a data model that describes one or more data entities. The data model is evaluated to determine a set of entity dependencies between entities. A set of rules is identified for a data generation scenario for generation of data for the one or more data entities. The set of rules includes one or more attribute rules each describing how data for one or more data attributes is to be generated. A set of workload portions is determined. Data is generated according to the set of attribute rules and the entity dependencies, including creating a data generation task for each determined workload portion. Data generated from each data generation task is stored in one or more data targets.

Abstract: In a system and a method, a sub-test catalog is retrieved from a test catalog repository. A test aspect of the sub-test catalog is compared to an aspect of a software application to be tested. A required system capability of the sub-test catalog is compared to the capabilities of a system landscape based on a determination that the sub-test catalog test aspect matches the aspect of the software application to be tested. The system landscape includes at least one system. The sub-test catalog is added to a master test catalog based on a determination that the required system capability of the sub-test catalog matches the system landscape capabilities.

Abstract: A system receives a request from an application to access a database. The system forms a database table proxy for a logical database. One or more database silos are assigned to the database table proxy. A default database silo from the one or more database silos is defined for the database table proxy. A database silo of the database table proxy corresponding to an application requesting access to the logical database is accessed with a database engine.

Abstract: A system, computer readable storage medium including instructions, and a computer-implemented method for testing a software unit of an application is described. A method signature for a method of the software unit of the application is received. A generic test specification for a generic test of the method is identified based on the method signature, the generic test specification being one of a plurality of test specifications, wherein the generic test specification includes a definition for at least one reference input parameter value of the method and a definition for at least one reference output parameter value of the method. The method is executed using the at least one reference input parameter value to produce at least one test output parameter value. A test result is determined based on a comparison between the at least one test output parameter value and the at least one reference output parameter value.

Abstract: A device and a method for determining the current position of a rotor, particularly the angle of rotation of the rotor, of an electric motor, wherein said device determines the current position of the rotor using the fluctuations of the armature current or the armature voltage of the electric motor. The fluctuations of the armature current or the armature voltage are separated from the fluctuations of the motor current or the motor voltage with the help of an amplifier unit dependent on a controllable offset value. The offset value is changed according to the motor current or the motor voltage. By virtue of the device and the method, the fluctuations of the armature current or the armature voltage can be separated from the fluctuations of the motor current or the motor voltage over the full measurement range of the motor current or the motor voltage.
