Patent number: 7363315Abstract: Methods and systems, including computer program products, implementing techniques for configuring data structures. The techniques include receiving a description of a logical structure of a data model, the logical structure comprising a first set of elements; displaying a first display structure in a graphical user interface (GUI), the first display structure being a graphical representation of the description of the logical structure, the first display structure comprising visual representations of the elements of the logical structure; generating a data structure based on one or more user-selected visual representations of the elements of the logical structure, the data structure comprising a second set of elements; and displaying a second display structure in the GUI, the second display structure being a graphical representation of the data structure, the second display structure comprising visual representations of the elements of the data structure.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2005Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Claudia P.

Patent number: 6224079Abstract: An improved rotor system includes bearings that are carried by the frame of a bicycle. The bearings are carried by the frame so that a stem of a fork of the bicycle extends through the bearings and the fork is capable of being rotated relative to the frame about an axis that is generally coaxial with the stem. The improved rotor system further includes upper and lower transmission elements that extend around the stem and are movable along the stem. The upper transmission element is rotatable about the axis relative to the lower transmission element. The upper transmission element is connected to the first brake cable line and is operative for moving along the stem in response to actuations of the first brake cable line. The lower transmission element is mounted for moving with the upper transmission element along the stem. The lower transmission element is connected to the second brake cable line so that actuation of the first brake cable line results in actuation of the second brake cable line.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2000Date of Patent: May 1, 2001Assignee: Wolfgang GoringInventor: Thomas Göring
