Abstract: Computing systems, database systems, and related methods are provided for supporting dynamic validation workflows. One exemplary method involves a server of a database system receiving a graphical representation of a validation process from a client device coupled to a network, converting the graphical representation of the validation process into validation code, and storing the validation code at the database system in association with a database object type. Thereafter, the validation process is performed with respect to an instance of the database object type using the validation code in response to an action with respect to the instance of the database object type in a database of the database system. The action triggering the validation process can be based on user-configurable triggering criteria, and the validation process may generate user-configurable notifications based on one or more field values of the database object instance.

Abstract: Vapors in the fuel tank of a vehicle are collected in a carbon canister. An ejector or aspirator is used to purge the carbon canister in a pressure-charged engine in which a positive pressure exists in the intake. A compact ejector includes a substantially planar flange and a venturi tube coupled to the flange with a central axis of the venturi tube substantially parallel to the flange. By manufacturing the ejector in two pieces, dimensions within the ejector: throat, converging section, and diverging section, is more accurate than prior art manufacturing techniques thereby providing better flow characteristics throughout the boost range. By forming one of the two pieces of the ejector integrally with the air intake component in which it is coupled, decreases part count and the number of manufacturing processes.

Abstract: A LC-typed duplex connector includes a connecting head assembly, a boot assembly and a handle. The handle includes a first elastic structure portion, a second elastic structure portion and a hand shank portion. When the second elastic structure portion is detached from the boot assembly, the first elastic structure portion is detached from the connecting head assembly under the action of the hand shank portion, achieving the detachment and alternate side operation of the LC-typed duplex connector. The detachable handle can efficiently fasten the connecting head assembly with the boot assembly together. The first and second elastic structure portions are easier to detach from the connecting head assembly and the boot assembly respectively under the action of the hand shank portion. Moreover, the hand shank portion is matched with the tail end of the boot assembly, thereby improving efficiently the space utilization of the panel.
