Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for implementing a software architecture design for a software application implementing an internal projects application useful for planning and executing internal projects and measures, including network scheduling, resource staffing, cost estimation and management, time confirmation, and progress monitoring. The application is structured as multiple process components interacting with each other through service interfaces, and multiple service interface operations, each being implemented for a respective process component. The process components include a Costing process component that maintains project cost estimates; an Accounting process component that records relevant business transactions; a Project Management process component that structures, plans and executes simple, short-term measures and complex projects; and a Time and Labor Management process component that supports the definition of employees' planned working times as well as the recording of the actual working times and absences and their evaluation.

The process components include an Outbound Delivery process component, a Site Logistics Processing process component, a Confirmation and Inventory process component, a Customer Requirement Processing process component, a Supply and Demand Matching process component, a Logistics Execution Control process component, a Service Request Processing process component, a Customer Quote Processing process component, a Service Order Processing process component, a Service Contract process component, and a Service Confirmation Processing process component.
Abstract:
A method and system handles cost and revenue allocation for service orders. For a service order, there is allowed to be created planned rules for allocation of costs to one or more service providers and for allocation of expected revenues to be received from one or more service receivers, which are forwarded in electronic form, if created, to a cost accounting system. After receipt of a confirmation that the service order has been executed wherein the confirmation includes information about costs actually incurred in executing the service order, there is allowed the creation of revised or newly created rules for allocation of the incurred costs to the one or more service providers and for the allocation of the revenues to be received from the one or more service receivers, which are forwarded in electronic form, if created or revised, to the cost accounting system.
Abstract:
A self-aligning and end fixity connector for connecting a hydraulic cylinder piston rod to its respective boom section in a multi-section telescopic boom assembly wherein the piston rod end is rigidly and fixedly secured to a structural part of one boom section. The cylinder barrel has a lost motion connection with a next adjacent boom section whereby slight movement in a vertical direction can occur between the cylinder barrel and said next adjacent boom section. The arrangement significantly increases the column loading capacity of telescoping crane boom hydraulic cylinders and reduces significantly the tendency for cylinders to bind with their piston rods due to inevitable cocking of boom sections.
