  • Patent number: 11757270
    Abstract: A cable management apparatus can include a first surface configured for working and a second surface having a channel integrally formed into the apparatus material at the second surface. The channel can have sidewalls, extend longitudinally in a direction parallel to the second surface, have a longitudinal channel opening at the second surface along a substantial portion of the channel, and can be configured to hold a cable therein even when the channel opening faces downward. The cable may be curved within the channel to create elastic potential energy in the cable, and a friction force between the curved cable pushing against the channel sidewalls can hold the cable in place within the channel. The channel may form a cross-section having an undercut that is defined by ledge portions at the channel opening, and the ledge portions can hold the cable in place within the channel.

  • Patent number: 11567808
    Abstract: Systems and methods include reception of an indication of a first data object to transmit from a first database tenant to a second database tenant, the first data object comprising user configuration settings metadata of a database application and associated with a first data object type, determination of whether a dependent data object may be associated with a data object of the first data object type, determination, if it is determined that a dependent data object may be associated with a data object of the first data object type, of whether a dependent object is dependent on the first data object, and automatic determination, if it is determined that a dependent object is dependent on the first data object, to transmit the dependent object from the first database tenant to the second database tenant.

  • Patent number: 9170780
    Abstract: A system includes execution of a software application based on metadata defining a first plurality of software components, reception of second metadata defining the first plurality of software components, determination, based on the second metadata, of a second plurality of the first plurality of software components for which the second metadata is different from the first metadata, and for which the second metadata is associated with elements of the software application, and generation of the elements of the software application based on the second metadata of the second plurality of software components.

  • Patent number: 9164776
    Abstract: A plurality of registrations corresponding to a user interface component can be stored. Based on at least one of a layer of a software architecture to which a specific user of a user interface has authorized access, an assignment of a work center view to the user, and business data, it can be determined that the user interface presented to the user should include a navigation target to the user interface component. At run time, a navigation link to the user interface component can be dynamically generated according to a relevant registration selected from the plurality of registrations. The user interface incorporating the navigation link to the user interface component can be displayed. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and computer-implemented methods are described.

  • Patent number: 8707398
    Abstract: All metadata relevant to user interface functionality needed to provide a specific unit of business functionality can be stored in one of a plurality of autonomous metadata containers retained on at least one data storage device. After a subset of available business functionality to be provided to a user is determined, a set of the plurality of autonomous metadata containers required to provide the subset of available business functions can be identified. A user interface view can be generated to present a view associated with each of the set of the plurality of autonomous metadata containers, and the generated user interface view can be provided for display to the user. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and computer-implemented methods are described.

  • Patent number: 8578278
    Abstract: Upon receiving a request for a user interface view from a user interface, a user identity and a user authorization class for a user of the user interface can be checked against a user registry and an authorization class registry, respectively. A user interface view component can be retrieved according to the user identity and the user authorization class. The user interface view can be generated by aggregating the retrieved user interface view component with at least one other user interface view component consistent with the user identity and user authorization class, and the generated user interface view can be returned for display to the user via the user interface. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and computer-implemented methods are described.

  • Publication number: 20130167048
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a business service provider may associate a user interface floor plan with a plurality of reuse components, each reuse component being adapted to be used with multiple user interface floor plans. For example, a second reuse component may be embedded within a first reuse component. In this case, an end user adaptation to the second reuse component may be received and the system may automatically store, within the first reuse component, a context dependent reference to the second reuse component associated with the end user adaptation.

  • Patent number: 7620571
    Abstract: Techniques describe providing product availability information for use by offline computers. More particularly, a category of product availability for a product is determined at one computer system, often a central logistics or sales system, and transmitted to another computer, typically, though not necessarily, a mobile computer. The category of product availability is accessible at the mobile computer even when the computer is offline—that is, is not connected to the computer that determined the category of product availability.
