20090037453UNIFIED AND EXTENSIBLE IMPLEMENTATION OF A CHANGE STATE ID FOR UPDATE SERVICES BASED ON A HASH CALCULATION - In a method and system for updating data in a distributed system, a server receives a request to read data stored in the server. A data structure is populated with the requested data, and a first unique identifier is generated by applying a hash function to the data stored in the data structure. The data and the first unique identifier are transmitted to the requesting client. From the client system, the server receives the first unique identifier and changes to the requested data performed on the client system through a web service application. The changes include an extension to the requested application data to include customer-specific data. Following receipt of the changed data and the first unique identifier, a second data structure is populated with the requested data. A second unique identifier is generated by applying a hash function to the data stored in the second data structure. The server compares the first and the second unique identifiers, and if the identifiers are identical, the requested data is replaced by the changed data. If the identifiers are not identical, the changed data is discarded.02-05-2009

20110271286SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR APPLICATION FUNCTION CONSOLIDATION - Systems and methods that facilitate keeping or improving the current/prior level of complexity in a software package, despite enhancement package additions. To keep the current number of business functions (e.g., some software configuration or functionality), new packages may have to consolidate older ones. Consolidating business functions may include dissolving those functions into the core set of functions (e.g., those functions that are “always on”) or to merge them with other business functions (e.g., to be switched on or off as a set). Additionally, if a function is simply not used, and will never be used again, the function may be dissolved completely. Regardless, disruption to the customer should be minimized by any consolidation of functions. Systems and methods identify functions that can be automatically consolidated, and facilitate the consolidation of any remaining functions.11-03-2011
20120030651SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TEST STRATEGY OPTIMIZATION - A test strategy optimizer for minimizing the impact of software update correctness testing is provided for software having several processes. Each process may have a criticality level associated with it and a test effort level associated with it. An update analyzer may determine what functions are modified and a dependency analyzer may determine what processes are connected to modifications, and thus require testing. User input may specify global test parameters related to test time, test completeness per criticality level, test iterations, etc. The test strategy optimizer will then take the process parameters, process dependencies, and user criteria to calculate the most efficient test procedure and provide information about the same. The test strategy optimizer may also provide adjustment tools, so users may modify parameters, based on the resulting information.02-02-2012
20120102360SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BUSINESS FUNCTION REVERSIBILITY - The invention may provide “undo” (e.g., rollback) features, along with data management simplification features, to an update package model of software suite development/evolution. New functions, which may have disruption effects for customers, may be installed into the core configuration data with inactive switches. Upon activation, a switch status may change, and a query filter may use the activated function (e.g., as associated with the switch ID). Original functions may be maintained, giving the user the ability to deactivate an activated function, and thereby reverting the system back to the prior configuration status.04-26-2012

20120131457CONFLICT SWITCHES FOR IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE NODE CHANGES - An enhancement implementation analysis method and system are provided. A processor may determine a node in an implementation guide hierarchy to be analyzed for conflicts. Based on the determination, a list of all switches assigned to the node in the implementation guide hierarchy may be retrieved from a data store. The list of retrieved switches may be checked by a processor to determine whether the switch is an active conflict switch. Upon a determination that the conflict switch is an inactive conflict switch, the conflict switch may be deleted from the retrieved list of all switches. If the conflict switch is determined to be an active conflict switch, the conflict switch may be added to a list of relevant switches, and the list of relevant switches may be processed to resolve conflicts, and a corresponding implementation guide may be presented.05-24-2012
20120131467METHOD FOR SELECTING ONE OR MORE FUNCTIONS OF AN IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE - A computer-implemented method for selecting one or more functions for display is provided. The selection may be performed via an implementation guide that is a hierarchy comprising nodes. A node may represent one function. The method may comprise retrieving a first list of switches in response to selection of a function, extracting one or more switches from the first list such that the extracted switches include function switches and/or conflict switches, determining whether each of the extracted switch is an active conflict switch and, if yes, adding the active conflict switch to a second list of switches. After removing all switches from the first list or having added all of them to the second list, the method processes the second list to determine which functions can be executed on the processor without conflicts and presenting a function GUI element representing a function determined to be executable without conflicts.05-24-2012

20120103379THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR INCLUDING A THERMOELECTRIC MODULE HAVING A MEANDERING P-N SYSTEM - A thermoelectric module having a plurality of p-n-couples, every two adjacent p-n-legs forming one p-n-couple. The p-n-legs are each manufactured from conductive materials. The p-n-legs of the plurality of p-n-couples are separated in an alternating sequence by an electrically insulating gap which creates a meandering current flow.05-03-2012

20090028630SHAFT/HUB CONNECTION AND MANUALLY GUIDED IMPLEMENT - A shaft/hub connection between a shaft rotatably driven about an axis of rotation, and a hub disposed on the shaft so as to be non-rotatable relative thereto. A conical shaft extension on the shaft extends into a conical opening of the hub and is held in the hub via a conical pressure connection. The hub is provided with a stress-relieving or antifatigue arrangement for reducing the dynamic fatigue stresses that occur on the hub during operation. The shaft/hub connection is advantageously utilized for connecting the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine of a manually guided implement with a flywheel.01-29-2009
20110182660Shaft/Hub Connection and Manually Guided Implement - A shaft/hub connection between a shaft rotatably driven about an axis of rotation, and a hub disposed on the shaft so as to be non-rotatable relative thereto. The hub has a conical opening and an end face at that end of the hub having the greatest inner diameter. The hub also has at least one relief groove that extends into the hub from the end face thereof. A conical shaft extension on the shaft extends into the conical opening of the hub and is held in the hub via a conical pressure connection.07-28-2011
