  • Patent number: 11366658
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for ensuring seamless lifecycle stability for extensions to standard software products. One example method includes determining a requested change to a software feature of a software object. The software feature has been designated as an extensible software feature and is associated with a lifecycle stability contract that identifies aspects of the extensible software feature that are designated to remain stable across different releases of the software object. The lifecycle stability contract is used to perform a compatibility check for the requested change to determine whether the requested change complies with the lifecycle stability contract. The requested change is permitted in response to determining that the requested change complies with the lifecycle stability contract and the requested change is denied in response to determining that the requested change violates the lifecycle stability contract.

  • Patent number: 10781626
    Abstract: A corner section for installing a window or door frame in a sealing system is disclosed. The corner section has a corner region of a trough or a tanking, i.e., it is open on two sides and bent upwards on two sides to form a tanking. When installed, the corner region encloses a corner of a window frame or door frame and is in contact with the reveal. The open sides are positioned in horizontal window direction and face the outside of the reveal. The corner section ensures that the system is sealed against driving rain and provides for a second water-drainage level in the system.

  • Patent number: 10402308
    Abstract: A method of extending the functionality of an enterprise software suite is disclosed. A request is received from a client system to modify a programming object on a productive system deployed in the cloud environment. A logical unit of programming objects is identified on the productive system, the logical unit including the programming object. Copies of each of the programming objects in the logical unit of programming objects are created in a sandbox of a combined development and test system deployed in the cloud environment, the copies including a copy of the programming object. The copy of the programming object is modified in the sandbox. A result of the modifying of the copy of the programming object in the sandbox is communicated for presentation in a client system without modifying the programming object on the productive system.

  • Patent number: 9983090
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system (1) and to a corresponding method for tank leakage diagnosis. The system (1) comprises a fuel tank (3), a pressure source (5, 9), and a pressure sensor (7). The pressure source (5, 9) is configured to increase the pressure in the fuel tank (3). The pressure sensor (7) is configured to detect the pressure progression at the fuel tank (3). The system (1) is configured to seal the fuel tank (3) in a gas-tight manner such that the fuel tank (3) can be used as a pressure store. Furthermore, the system (1) is configured to conclude, independently of a current operation of the pressure source (5, 9) based on the determined pressure progression at the fuel tank (3), that a leak is present.

  • Patent number: 9945330
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a fuel tank vent valve of a motor vehicle. In the method it is inferred, from a curve of a pressure p over time in a sub-chamber of the motor vehicle after a start-up of an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle, as to whether the fuel tank vent valve is jammed open. The sub-chamber contains a fuel tank of the motor vehicle and is delimited by the fuel tank vent valve.

  • Patent number: 9760364
    Abstract: Software extensions for applications of an enterprise system may be developed in a test system. An adaptation transport module accesses, in the test system, a collection of adaptation objects where each adaptation object includes a semantic representation of a software extension for an application of an enterprise system and at least one associated software object. The transport module processes the collection by: generating staging data based on a type of each adaptation object; exporting the collection from the test system; performing checks on each adaptation object based on the staging data; and importing the collection to the enterprise system. The transport module installs each of the software extensions on the application, using the at least one associated software object for each, based on the results of the checks of each respective adaptation object. The staging data may be written to a file in a common directory shared by both systems.

  • Patent number: 9542173
    Abstract: Adaptation objects comprising software extensions for applications of an enterprise system may be developed in a test system. Dependency data for an adaptation object may be generated based on a reference, in the adaptation object, to at least one other adaptation object in the test system. If the adaptation object is assigned to a collection of adaptation objects for export to the enterprise system then checks are performed on the adaptation object based on the dependency data. One check may be for determining whether the at least one other adaptation object is: part of the collection or has already been exported and is unchanged since last being exported. If this check is failed a user interface is provided for: adding a latest version of the at least one adaptation object to the collection; or removing the reference to the at least one other adaptation object from the adaptation object.

  • Publication number: 20160335058
    Abstract: Software extensions for applications of an enterprise system may be developed in a test system. An adaptation transport module displays, in a test system, a plurality of semantic representations of software extension components for an application of an enterprise system. A semantic representation of a software extension for the application is generated based on a user selection of a combination of the semantic representations of software extension components. An adaptation object comprising the semantic representation of the software extension and at least one associated software object is generated by identifying the associated software object(s) based on an adaptation type of the adaptation object.

  • Patent number: 7926026
    Abstract: A method and system for graphical analysis to detect anomalies in process objects. The method generates a graph to represent a set of process objects, applies a clustering algorithm to cluster like nodes of the graph, compares the clusters to the process objects, and, if the objects match the clusters, accepts the objects for further review or for use in applications. If one or more of the objects do not match the clusters, such suggests that there are anomalies in the process objects requiring correction. An example implementation may be to detect anomalies in the design of the process objects.

  • Publication number: 20080162502
    Abstract: Flexible systems and methods are described that permit a development object to be tracked and moved through a development life cycle without the need to change hard-coded rules embedded in the development objects and tools themselves. An abstraction layer may be created that includes a status-action schema. The status-action schema may include action rules. Given the development status of a development object, an appropriate rule may be selected. The action rule may be applied to the development object to move the object to the next stage of the development life cycle. This may occur for more than one development objects and their associated development status(es). A configuration interface may be provided to aid in creating and updating the status-action schema.
