Abstract: An exhaust-gas turbocharger (1) having a turbine (2) which is provided with an adjustable turbine geometry and/or with a wastegate; and having an actuator (11) which is connected by means of a coupling rod (14; 14?; 14?) to the adjustable turbine geometry and/or to the wastegate. The coupling rod (14; 14?; 14?) is connected at its end regions at one side to the actuator (11) and at the other side to an adjusting shaft arrangement of the variable turbine geometry and/or of the wastegate. The coupling rod (14; 14?; 14?) is formed as an MIM component.

Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a project and a sales order business object.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adjusting shaft arrangement (1) of a variable turbine geometry turbocharger or waste gate turbocharger having an adjusting shaft (2) which has a fastening section (3); having a lever (4) which is connected to the adjusting shaft (2) via the fastening section (3); having a sleeve (5) which is arranged on a base body (6) of the adjusting shaft (2); and having a seal (7) which is arranged in the region of the base body (6) between the sleeve (5) and the adjusting shaft (2); the main body (6) of the adjusting shaft (2) having a stepped outer contour; and the sleeve (5) having an inner contour with a stepped inner contour which complements the design of the base body (6).

Abstract: A track for a snow groomer having a plurality of grousers spaced apart, extending crosswise to the traveling direction of the track, and each having a grip portion configured to grip the terrain, and a blunt edge opposite the grip portion. A chain is connected to the blunt edges of the grousers so as to be engaged, in use, by a drive sprocket of a snow groomer.

Abstract: Providing access to database objects is described. An object selection area capable of presenting representations of a plurality of database objects is displayed. Each of the database objects is associated with one of a plurality of predetermined contexts. A plurality of panels are capable of presenting portions of data belonging to database objects selected in the object selection area. Some panels are relevant to more than one of the contexts. An input from the user selecting a database object presented in the object selection area is received. A panel selection control associated with the context of the selected database object is displayed. The control provides that the user can select for display any panel that is relevant to the selected object's context. Any of the selectable panels that are relevant also to a different context can also be selected in a panel selection control associated with the different context.

Abstract: A system for business processes performs one or more complex business processing functions. In one implementation, the system includes a user interface to collect data from a user and an intermediate layer to collect data from the user interface. The system also includes business logic that can process the data collected from the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer can be interposed between the user interface and the business logic and configured to rearrange data collected by the user interface into a format that is optimized for processing by the business logic.
