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. Specifically, example business objects include DemandPlan, DemandPlanningCharacteristicValueCombination, and DemandViewOfPromotion.

Abstract: Apparatus for measuring the mass flow of a fluid within a defined fluid stream including a conduit having two substantially parallel, flexible and continuous flow tubes fixedly mounted at their ends to a centrally positioned housing forming a flow splitter and a flow converger for directing the flow from the inlet and for directing the flow into the outlet between the apparatus and the fluid stream. The ends of each flow tube positioned proximal to one another and to the center of gravity formed by the shape of the flow tube. Each flow tube substantially forming a "B" shape having a first loop, a connecting portion and a second loop. The first and second loops being symmetrical with respect to the connecting portion and extending laterally from the center of gravity at a greater distance than the displacement of the connecting portion to the center of gravity.

Abstract: A conduit having two substantially parallel, flexible and continuous flow tubes fixedly mounted at their ends to a centrally positioned housing The ends of each flow tube positioned proximal to one another and to the center of gravity formed by the shape of the flow tube. Each flow tube substantially forming a "B" shape having a first loop, a connecting portion and a second loop. The first and second loops being symmetrical with respect to the connecting portion and extending laterally from the center of gravity at a greater distance than the displacement of the connecting portion to the center of gravity. The flow tubes being oscillated in opposing modes at the connecting portion so as to produce a measurable Coriolis reaction force by the fluid on the flow tubes.

Abstract: There is provided a process for the enhanced recovery of oil from oil bearing strata with gaseous or liquid form of carbon dioxide, the improvement which comprises prior to or simultaneously with the injection of carbon dioxide, injecting into the strata in a single slug or in a plurality of slugs a material consisting essentially of at least one compound which has a clay-effect inhibiting cation with a hydrated ion diameter of from about 0.136 to about 0.15 nm and a coordination number of 12, in a concentration number of 12, in a concentration of from about 0.001 mol to about 50 mol.
