David Herman - Easton PA, US

Assignee:

SAP AG - Walldorf

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06

US Classification:

705 712

Abstract:

A company is associated, in an enterprise resource planning system, with a plurality of business entities that each have at least one structured record used by the enterprise resource planning system to characterize the business entity. Thereafter, documents are obtained from a plurality of information sources that characterize events associated with each business entity. It is then determined, using pre-defined business rules, which of the events are pertinent to the company so that enhancement records can be generated for the events determined to be pertinent to the company. These enhancement records characterize the corresponding event and are linked to the structured record for the corresponding business entity. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Assignee:

SAP AG - Walldorf

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707758, 707E17005

Abstract:

Data is received that comprises an entity name. Thereafter, it is determined (i) whether there are any punctuation variations for the entity name, (ii) whether there is at least one character to drop from the entity name, and (iii) whether there are alternative equivalents of at least a portion of the entity name. After such determinations have been made, a plurality of variants for the entity name is generated based on a combination of each determined punctuation variation, determined at least one character to drop, and determined alternative equivalent. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Assignee:

SAP AG - Walldorf

International Classification:

G06F 17/20

US Classification:

715205, 715256, 715234

Abstract:

A document is received that has a plurality of lines with text. This document includes text associated with at least one topic of interest and text not associated with the at least one topic of interest. Thereafter, it is determined, for each line in the document, a length of the line and a number of off-topic indicators with the off-topic indicators characterizing portions of the document as likely being not being associated with the at least one topic of interest. Thereafter, a density for each line can be determined based on the determined line length and the determined number of off-topic indicators. The determined densities for each line are used to identify portions of the documents likely associated with the at least one topic of interest so that data characterizing the identified portions of the document can be provided. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

International Classification:

C02F 334

US Classification:

210605

Abstract:

Methods and compositions for removing perchlorate and/or nitrate from contaminated material utilizing perc1ace bacteria under anaerobic conditions. Perc1ace is a gram-negative, curved rod, facultative anaerobe which is deposited with the American Type Culture Collection under ATCC No. 202172. Perc1ace may be used as a substitute for anaerobic bacteria which are presently being used in biological systems for removing perchlorate and/or nitrate from water and other contaminated materials, such as soil.

International Classification:

G21F 934

US Classification:

588 10

Abstract:

Disclosed is a process for making a ceramic composition for the immobilization of actinides, particularly uranium and plutonium. The ceramic is a titanate material comprising pyrochlore, brannerite and rutile. The process comprises oxidizing the actinides, milling the oxides to a powder, blending them with ceramic precursors, cold pressing the blend and sintering the pressed material.

H05K 3/30

Abstract:

This application relates to an assembly technique for joining parts using a magnetic adhesive. A liquid adhesive including magnetic particles is provided, the liquid adhesive having sufficient properties that allow the adhesive to flow under the influence of a magnetic field prior to curing. A method for joining parts includes the steps of applying an adhesive to a substrate at a location corresponding to the joint, placing a magnetic element proximate the joint to generate a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic particles in the adhesive to cause the adhesive to flow in a direction corresponding to the magnetic field, and curing the magnetic adhesive under the influence of the magnetic field. An assembly fixture for joining parts includes a magnetic element and, optionally, an inductive heating element. The assembly technique can be used to form a housing of an electronic device from two or more components.
