20090037489Method And System For Response Time Optimization - Method and system for providing results for task list queries to Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) and Human Task Management Systems (HTMSs). In one aspect, a method for providing the result of a task list query to a human task database includes caching data from the database in a plurality of materialized views. A new request for a list of tasks from the database is received, and a new query is created when the new request applies to the data in a particular materialized view. When the particular materialized view includes data that requires updating from more recent data in the database, the materialized view is so updated. The new query is executed against the data in the materialized view instead of executing the new query against the data in the database.02-05-2009
20090063489Accessing Data Entities - A method of accessing data entities in a client-server system is disclosed. The client-server system comprises a set of clients, a server system, and a repository for storing a plurality of data entities. The server system comprises an inter-transactional cache, the inter-transactional cache being accessible for each client of the set of clients. A first client of the set of clients comprises a first intra-transactional cache. If a copy of a first data entity is in the inter-transactional cache, a version identifier of the original first data entity is read from the repository. If the copy of the first data entity is to be accessed with an exclusive lock, a copy of the copy of the first data entity is added to the first intra-transactional cache. The copy of the copy of the first data entity in the first intra-transactional cache is accessed for further processing of the first data entity by the first client.03-05-2009
20100223570METHOD AND APPARATUS TO MODEL CONTENT STATE AND ACCESS CONTROL IN BACKEND-SYSTEMS AND BUSINESS PROCESSES - A method to model and change the state of associated content objects from one or more workflow and task management systems is provided. The method includes overlaying a business process model associated with a graphical content state overlay. A state of the content objects changes accordingly when the business process instance proceeds. Access rights are forwarded from human tasks in a business process to an associated content object. Concurrent access rights that are forwarded from multiple systems are handled. The graphical content state overlay areas include an active state overlay to graphically indicate a business process instance is active, an assessed overlay to graphically indicate a business process instance is assessed, an approval/rejected overlay to graphically indicate a business process instance has received one of an approval decision and a rejection decision, and a state archived overlay to graphically indicate a business process instance has been archived.09-02-2010
20110035411Systems and Methods Involving Information Objects - A method comprises receiving a request from a source service, determining whether the target service associated with the request supports a by-reference evaluation strategy, determining whether an information object associated with the request is a data reference, retrieving data associated with the reference from a database, adding the data to the information object, and invoking the target service and passing the information object to the target service responsive to determining that the target service does not support the by-reference strategy and the information object is a data reference.02-10-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090020906Extruder System for Extruding a Fluid - The invention relates to an extruder system for extruding a fluid with at least one supply device, at least one mixer device and at least one extrusion die. In accordance with the invention at least one device for producing a fluid flow (transport fluid) that completely or partially surrounds the material to be extruded that essentially runs parallel to the outlet direction of the material to be extruded is provided, and whereby the fluid is discharged from the extruder system by suction and/or pressure of the transport fluid flow by means of an expulsion gas. The extruder system allows even product discharge for products well into the nanometre range.01-22-2009
20100320172DRIVE DEVICE FOR EROSION TOOLS - A drive device for erosion tools, having a drive shaft, an electrode holder connected to the drive shaft, an axial drive which works on the drive shaft, a rotational drive which works on the drive shaft as a direct drive in a contactless manner, and a radial bearing. The radial bearing is constructed as a ball track.12-23-2010

20100206109Drive Device - A driving device for the rotary or pivoting drive of a constructional unit about an axis of rotation with an electric motor which has a driving pinion which is arranged on a drive shaft and by means of which, via a gearing arrangement, a driven shaft running perpendicularly to the drive shaft can be rotatably driven, the rotational movement of which driven shaft can be transmitted to the axis of rotation of the constructional unit. The gearing arrangement has a crown wheel gearing which can be driven rotatably by the driving pinion of the drive shaft, and a cycloid gearing which is connected downstream of the crown wheel gearing and by means of which the driven shaft can be driven rotatably.08-19-2010

20100106466SYSTEM FOR THE COMPUTED-AIDED DESIGN OF TECHNICAL DEVICES - The invention concerns an apparatus and a computer software product for the conceptioneering, predesign and configuration of a machine object represented by an object data model. Component objects are stored in an object database, wherein a component object contains at least one parameter object. In addition the database contains functional objects. The modeling approach implemented by the separation according to the invention of component objects and functional objects permits a distinction to be drawn between constraints within a component object and constraints which exist between component objects. The former are embraced by the component objects themselves and the latter by the functional objects. That encapsulation has in particular the advantage that the modeling process can be substantially clearer. In addition encapsulation permits re-use of the component objects in various systems.04-29-2010
