  • Publication number: 20180025037
    Abstract: Raw data is received that characterizes each of a plurality of transactions. The data can be received, for example, via an adapter coupled to at least one data source. At least one first table is populated using the raw data according to a normalized data model. At least one second table is then populated, by applying a key figure data model to transform and enrich the at least one first table, such that it is optimized for data analysis operations. The at least one second table can include a subset of data stored in the at least one first table and additional enrichment data. At least one data analysis operation can later be initiated on the data populated in at least one second table to characterize one or more aspects of the transactions. Data can be provided that characterizes the initiated at least one data operation.

  • Publication number: 20170240494
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for separating off a substance from a solution, in which electromagnetic radiation is radiated into the solution, an intensity of the electromagnetic radiation which has been scattered by crystals located in the solution is detected, the detected intensity is compared with a desired intensity (IS) and the temperature of the solution is regulated depending on the difference between the detected intensity and the desired intensity (IS) in such a way that the amount of this difference is reduced. If the amount of the difference between the detected intensity and the desired intensity (IS) is less than a limiting value, a crystallization method is started in which crystals of the substance are obtained which are then separated off.

  • Patent number: 9614259
    Abstract: A battery includes a battery housing and also two connections configured to electrically conductively connect the battery to a load. The battery further includes a battery string which is positioned in the battery housing, and connects the two connections to one another. At least one battery cell is connected in series and/or in parallel with the battery string. The battery has at least one thermal tripping element which is positioned within the battery housing, and which is configured to trip when a predetermined first temperature is present in a region of the thermal tripping element, and therefore is configured to indicate a presence of this predetermined first temperature in the region of the thermal tripping element.

  • Patent number: 8669493
    Abstract: In an electrically-heated glazing unit including a plurality of collector conductors configured to supply a plurality of heating conductors with an electric current used to heat up the heating conductors and the glazing unit, at least one partial region of the surface of the glazing unit includes an arrangement of parallel heating conductors in which the current flows in opposing directions. The arrangement of the heating conductors in the partial region of the surface is tuned to minimize by mutual compensation or eliminate the magnetic field acting locally within this partial region and perpendicularly to the plane of the glazing unit when the current flows. The operation of an apparatus sensitive to magnetic fields, for example a compass, in the immediate vicinity of the glazing unit thus becomes more reliable.

  • Patent number: 8550536
    Abstract: The tailgate (1) or rear door for a motor vehicle with a rear window includes a single-piece main carrying structure (10) with a peripheral, flexurally resistant frame (11), with an upper transverse beam (12), two lateral longitudinal beams (13, 14) and at least one lower transverse beam (15). The main carrying structure consists of a fibre-reinforced moulding compound (20) with at least two impregnated, integrated continuous-fibre bands (21) and this moulding compound is non-positively connected to the rear window (2) and together with this forms a flexurally resistant structure. Thereby, the continuous-fibre bands (21) in sections are integrated into the frame (11) in an arrangement vertical (v) to the surface (H) of the tailgate, by way of the continuous-fibre bands (21) being arranged vertically to the surface (H) and/or at a vertical distance (d) to the surface (H).

  • Patent number: 8427381
    Abstract: In a laminated glass sheet with a fixing device introduced into a through-hole for objects, particularly for antennas, the through-hole is made up of holes of different sizes in two rigid sheets of the lamination, and the fixing device includes at least two parts introduced into the through-hole, pressing against surfaces around the edge of the through-hole, which surfaces are situated one facing the other. The two parts of the fixing device press from both sides against the surfaces around the edge surrounding the smaller hole made in the sheet, in that region of the walls of a smaller hole that exhibits an edge compression stress that is increased by heat treatment by comparison with the remainder of the surface of the sheet.
