Abstract: An application server provides an application to client devices. Users of the client devices interact with the application to perform a business process. Data regarding user interactions with the application is transmitted from the client devices to the application server. Based on an analysis of the received data, a bot generation server generates a bot to automate a process step. The bot generation server provides a heatmap user interface (UI) that provides information regarding the process steps. Using the heatmap UI, the administrator selects a process step for automation. In response to the selection, the hot generation server identifies, based on the observed behavior, relationships between input fields, typical values for input fields, typical order of data entry into input fields, or any suitable combination thereof. Based on the identified patterns, the hot generation server generates a bot to automate some or all of the process step.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound of formula (I) and an organic electronic device comprising a semiconductor layer which comprises a compound of formula (I).

Abstract: A method may include receiving a first transaction inserting a record into a database and a second transaction deleting the record from the database. A validity period for the record may be determined based on a first commit time at which the first transaction is committed and a second commit time at which the second transaction is committed. A current table and/or a history table of a system versioned table may be updated to include the record based on the validity period of the record. One or more temporal operations may be performed based on the system versioned table. For example, a time travel operation may be performed to retrieve, based on the system versioned table, one or more records that are valid at a given point in time. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method including detecting a query operator of a predetermined type requiring a sorting or a scanning responsive to the query operator at a column-oriented database; determining a sorted dictionary at the column-oriented database is eligible for direct access by at least checking that the column-oriented database provides sorted dictionary access and that dictionary collation and a collation of the query operator are the same; when the sorted dictionary is eligible, reading directly from the sorted dictionary a batch of sorted values; and processing, based on the batch sorted values read from the sorted dictionary, the query operator.

Abstract: An adjusting drive for adjusting the rotational position of a large rolling bearing that comprises two bearing rings that can be rotated relative to each other, having an actuator for rotating the two bearing rings relative to each other. According to the invention, the actuating drive has a ring channel cylinder, which is formed in or on one of the bearing rings of the large rolling bearing, and at least one piston, which is received in the ring channel cylinder in a movable manner and is drivingly connected to the other bearing ring of the two bearing rings.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cellulosic fibre loaded with a biologically active substance formed by the steps of: a) producing a cellulosic fibre loaded with ion exchanger, b) after-treating the fibre thus produced with an aqueous solution of a metal salt which exhibits antibacterial activity and/or antiviral activity, and c) after-treating the loaded fibre with an aqueous fixing solution to convert the metal salt into a water-insoluble form. The cellulosic fibres thus produced can be used to form textile fabrics, wound dressings, sanitary products, specialty papers, packaging or filter materials.
