20100270797 | WAVE ENERGY APPARATUS - In a wave energy apparatus vertical movement of a float suspended in a body of water drives a power generator. Motion of the float is controlled by taking advantage of the movement of water on the upper surface of the float body. The upper surface can be used to generate hydrodynamic forces acting downwardly against the upward forces acting on the lower surface of the float body, effectively damping its movement in the presence of waves that might otherwise provoke undesirably large vertical movement of the float. The movement of water onto the upper surface can be controlled by adjusting the depth at which the float is suspended. | 10-28-2010 |

20110282708 | INTEGRATING EXTERNAL DATA IN HUMAN WORKFLOW TASKS - A system and method for integrating external data in human workflow tasks. In accordance with an embodiment, the system allows a workflow process designer working with a human workflow system to provide a definition of external data within a human workflow payload, and then retrieve that external data into the human workflow system. In the human workflow system, routing conditions and participants are specified according to the external data which can be materialized on demand. In accordance with an embodiment, the external data can be retrieved by calling any service, such as a Web service. | 11-17-2011 |
20110282709 | DYNAMIC HUMAN WORKFLOW TASK ASSIGNMENT USING BUSINESS RULES - A system and method for dynamic human workflow task assignment using business rules. In accordance with an embodiment, a human workflow system is integrated directly with business rules, to determine human task routing patterns, and participants in human tasks. Routing of tasks can also be determined by business rules. In accordance with an embodiment, at business process modeling time the workflow process designer creates human tasks in the process and specifies the business rules that determine the pattern, participant and routing information. These are integrated into the workflow task in the process. The integration of rules into human workflow can be performed using service component architecture, so that other rules engines can be plugged-in as required. | 11-17-2011 |
20110282829 | WORKFLOW TASK ROUTING BASED ON CARDINALITY OF TASK DATA - A system and method for workflow task routing based on cardinality of task data, or the structure of elements in a business object associated with a task. In accordance with an embodiment, a system such as a human workflow system, that allows for the definition of human workflow tasks, can include a forEach construct within a human task routing definition and a payload. In scenarios that require a plurality of task of similar type be undertaken, such as a purchase order approval involving a plurality of items and potentially different approvers, the system allows for modeling a separate routing for each of those task items (e.g. the lines in the purchase order). In each of the branches of the forEach construct, complex routing patterns, such as parallel routing, can be used. The forEach construct allows creating of looping constructs at any level deep. | 11-17-2011 |

20090077044 | VERSIONING IN AN INTEGRATION PLATFORM - A repository contains multiple versions of an object but only a single version of the object is supplied when a query is made. The single version is automatically selected from among a number of versions, based on a configuration associated with a workspace in which the query originates. The selected version is presented in a version resolved view, without exposing any information related to versioning of the object. A number of configurations are established, each configuration containing no more than one version of each object in the repository. However, only one configuration is associated with each workspace from which a query can originate. A single configuration is commonly associated with the workspaces of all developers. When developers decide that a set of objects in the repository is ready for use in live operation, the set of objects is “deployed” by copying the design time configuration to generate a new configuration. | 03-19-2009 |
