Abstract: Project management is made easier and more effective by enabling a planner to define project roles for tasks of a project and then, separately search for actual resources that match the project roles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a kitchen appliance (1) having a mixing vessel (2) and a stirrer located in the mixing vessel, wherein the mixing vessel can be heated and the kitchen appliance (1) has a time selector switch (5, 6) which enables a time selection in respect of the stirrer and/or the heating operation, wherein a pre-programmed sequence of preparation steps can furthermore be carried out. In order to carry out operation as safely as possible, according to the invention the sequence cannot be triggered until an active selection made by the user in respect of the time and/or stirrer and/or heating setting is made, insofar as a stir and/or heating operation is in the pre-programmed sequence, by means of the one or more selector switches.

Abstract: An intake system of combustion air is provided for a vehicle. The intake system has an intake opening, an intake duct, and an air filter. The intake opening is situated on one side of a water separation container, which is fixed on a girder of the vehicle. The intake opening is situated in a front most front face of the vehicle in the travel direction for this purpose.

Abstract: An intake system is provided for an internal combustion engine, which includes, but is not limited to an air purifier/resonator configuration, in which a resonator element is situated in the purified air area of the intake system as an integral component in the air outlet of the air purifier, coaxially to the air outlet.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic intermediate DC circuit which is to be used in brushless electric motors (1) such as reluctance motors and comprises a rectifier bridge (5) composed of diodes (4) and a capacitor that is connected downstream from the rectifier bridge (5). In order to improve the design of a circuit of this type in a structurally simple manner, two capacitors (6, 7) which have different capacities are connected downstream from the rectifier bridge (5).

Abstract: Methods and systems of resource planning are described. In one embodiment, a rule set, that defines an authority of a program planner to create at least one project role, is evaluated. A determination of organizational units of users are made, staffing states are modified, and users are disallowed from making changes to a project plan based on the evaluation of the rule set as a function of the staffing state. In another embodiment, a first command from a first user to modify a program structure is received and evaluated. The rule set specifies an authority of the first user to modify the program structure on a basis of a staffing state in a project planning process. A program structure is modified, as a result of a positive evaluation of the rule set, wherein modification includes populating the program structure with first data comprising a project structure and a project role.
