In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving information representative of one or more interfaces and aspects of each of the interfaces. The interfaces may be adjustable by a business process supervisor. The business process supervisor may adjust one or more aspects of the one or more interfaces. The results of the adjustment may be received and used to determine optimum settings to the one or more interfaces. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described. | 05-01-2014 |
| 20140173607 | COMPUTING SYSTEM OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS - Techniques for optimizing an operation environment include receiving, from a first computing system, an optimization task at a second computing system; processing the optimization task in an initial optimization environment to obtain one or more initial optimization results; for each of the one or more initial optimization results, generating an optimization data record that comprises the optimization task, the initial optimization environment, and the initial optimization result; for each of the optimization data records: varying one or more parameters of the initial optimization environment to generate an updated optimization environment; processing the optimization task in the updated optimization environment to obtain an updated optimization result; storing the initial optimization results and updated optimization results in a repository that is part of or communicably coupled to the second computing system; and sorting the stored optimization results to determine one or more best optimization results of the stored optimization results. | 06-19-2014 |
| 20140358604 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL REPRESENTATION OF SOFTWARE USAGE - In some example implementations, there is provided a method. The method may include receiving metadata representative of usage of a component of a system; generating, based on the received metadata and a model, a three-dimensional representation of the usage of the system including at least one of the component and a structure of the component, the model based on a geographic entity; and providing the generated three-dimensional representation as a page for presentation. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also provided. | 12-04-2014 |

| 20080197644 | Device and Method For Lifting a Layer of Stones - A device for lifting a layer of stones, particularly of artificially aged cast concrete stones, clinker bricks or natural stones, comprises a vacuum device with a suction opening for drawing up the stones. The suction opening ( | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080263996 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR ARTIFICIALLY AGEING BLOCKS - A process for artificially ageing blocks, in particular concrete blocks, vitrified bricks and natural stones, provides that the blocks are applied to an underlying surface. Essentially freely movable distressing bodies are applied to the surface to be worked of the blocks. The blocks and the distressing bodies are brought into movement in relation to one another by a vibrating motion of the underlying surface in such a way that the distressing bodies act on the surface and the adjoining, exposed edges of the blocks. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20110115123 | DEVICE FOR PRODUCING CONCRETE BLOCKS - The invention relates to a device for producing concrete blocks, particularly paving stones, building blocks or the like, comprising a storage container forming a receiving chamber for a plurality of layers of concrete in different colors. Dispensing means are provided, in order to dispense partial amounts of the layers from the receiving chamber such that a release device connected downstream receives a mixture of the layers of concrete in different colors. At least a partial section of a side wall of the receiving chamber is provided with at least one dispensing opening for dispensing a partial amount of the layers. The size of the passage of the dispensing opening can be varied by the dispensing means. | 05-19-2011 |
