A method and apparatus for providing a network based operating system for mobile clients is disclosed. Services may be developed that can be used to support different client devices with different capabilities. The services provide output with multiple variations based on different devices, and an intermediary selects the variation best suited for the requesting device. An online software development system is provided to allow services to create, edit, test, and deploy applications at an intermediary using only a browser at the client end. Services may also be provided that can be accessed and referred to by other services, thereby facilitating the combining of different services. Services may also store and access data at an intermediary using variables and a mapping of the stored data to the variables. Data stored at the intermediary may be used to allow an end user to return to a previously accessed service.

The integrated test framework of the present invention includes a test framework runtime that executes test scripts and that also allows a script to identify a variation tool called a “data provider” that is responsible for providing data to the test framework runtime and controlling the iteration of the runtime through the variations. The script also identifies the type of data set from which the data provider should obtain the data from which the variations are derived and the location of the data set. Multiple variation data providers may be used in conjunction with an adapter layer that coordinates the iteration of each variation data provider and creates an aggregated variation over multiple varying parameters of different scope.

The mattress (1) is made of a block of flexible polyurethane foam (4) with a density of 40 Kg / m3 or of any other density, said block being firstly cut with a cut programmable automatic machine, by the main side and then turned at a 90° degree angle by its small side. A certain amount of springs (5) is thereby formed depending on each type of mattress (1).The amount of spirals (5.1) of every spring (5) depends on the position of each spring in the mattress (1) with the purpose of varying the flexibility thereof so that the mattress (1) can perfectly adapt to the contour to of every user or so that the flexibility can remain constant throughout the entire mattress. Multiple variations can be realized while the height of the mattress remains the same (less spirals having the same spiral thickness and more base and uncut, etc.; the width of a spiral can be changed, as well as the number of spirals, the inclination of the axis of the spirals, the total height of an area-budge or cavity, etc. The upper surface of the product is covered with a viscous elastic layer (3) of polyurethane with a 50 Kg / m3 density, 4 cm thickness and threaded padding (2).

Measurement of the series resistance of a working and counter electrode pair in an electrochemical test strip provide error detection for multiple variations in the quality of the test strip, as well as the operation of strip in the test meter. In particular, a single measurement of series resistance can be used to detect and generate an error message when an incorrect reading is likely to result due to (1) damaged electrode tracks, (2) fouled electrode surfaces, (3) dirty strip contacts, or (4) short circuit between the electrodes.

A method of saving portions of a simulation or execution engine image at various points in a simulation or execution is disclosed. The saving of the simulation or execution context in addition to the more traditional saving of the system state information enables the restoration of a simulation or execution that is capable of producing, in a subsequent simulation or execution of a block diagram continuing from the point of the saved simulation or execution, results that are identical to those of the initial simulation or execution. The ability to restore more than just system state variables enables a user to run multiple variations of a simulation from a given point without having to replicate the simulation up until the point of the saved initial simulation, and the ability to run multiple iterations of a block diagram execution in a non-simulation execution from a given point without having to replicate the execution of the block diagram up until that point.

A method for cleaning surfaces having the steps of depositing a cleaning fluid onto the surface from a cleaning fluid reservoir on a wet extractor, contacting the surface with a hand-held ultrasonic spot cleaner, applying ultrasonic vibrations to the surface using the hand-held ultrasonic spot cleaner to help release soil form the surface, and removing the cleaning fluid and soil using the wet extractor. A wet extractor having an ultrasonic cleaning component is also provided. Further provided is a combined cleaning system having a cleaning device and a hand-held ultrasonic spot cleaner. The cleaning device has a dirt receptacle, a nozzle adapted to be positioned adjacent a surface to be cleaned, and a vacuum source adapted to generate a working air flow from the nozzle to the dirt receptacle. The hand-held ultrasonic spot cleaner includes an ultrasonic wave generating source, an ultrasonic cleaning head adapted to be driven by the ultrasonic wave generating source, and a control switch adapted to selectively activate the ultrasonic wave generating source. Multiple variations thereof are also provided.

Harmonizing business process tasks comprehends comparing descriptors associated with each of a plurality of business process tasks in response to a process variation input and identifying tasks as a candidate task pair for consolidation. Input and output attributes of the candidate pair tasks are compared and consolidation confirmed if the compared input and output attributes are similar. Consolidating the confirmed candidate pair tasks includes merging the confirmed candidate pair into a new merged task or replacing one with the other, and an output from the consolidated candidate pair is generated as a common harmonized output for the first and second tasks. Identifying the candidate task pairs for consolidation may be a function of similarity of task descriptors, of input / output business process relationships to other candidate task pairs, and also of both.
