31 Jan 2002TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a system and methods relating to the establishment of EDI trading partner relationships, where sending partners convey a series of data transmissions to a computer system, where they are checked for internal consistency and compliance with applicable trading rules.
Abstract: Systems and methods relating to the establishment of EDI trading partner relationships. Sending partners convey a series of data transmissions to a computer system, where they are checked for internal consistency and compliance with applicable trading rules. Data attributes extracted from the transmissions allow the capabilities of the sending system to be ascertained. Differing senders meeting different appropriate qualifications may be issued specific certifications. Receiving partners conveyed a series of EDI transmissions by a third party report the results of receipt and analysis back thereto. From the reported results, the capabilities and accuracy of the receiving system are ascertained. Specific certifications for differing types of receiving partners may then be issued. Trading partners may be matched by capabilities. A directory of trading partner certifications and capabilities may be periodically replicated to selected users. The directory may contain a secure password, allowing users therein to securely identify one another.

TL;DR: In this article, a file generating system generates a test file by varying at least one parameter of a data field contained in the base file, in accordance with a set of instructions.
Abstract: Systems and methods for generating data files for testing computer systems. A base EDI file it provided to a file generating system, preferably by way of a network connection. The file generating system generates a test file by varying at least one parameter of at least one data field contained in the base file, in accordance with a set of instructions. The test file may be saved as part of a test file suite assembled from a number of test files generated by the file generating system. The test file may then be used to test the ability of an EDI system to receive, process or transmit an EDI data file containing the modified data field.

7 Aug 2002TL;DR: In this article, a chair consisting of a backrest, a seat and a device for connecting the back-rest to the seat is described, which enables the backrest to be folded onto the seat.
Abstract: The chair comprises a back-rest, a seat and a device (10) for
connecting the back-rest to the seat. The connection device (10)
comprises an articulated joint (16) which enables the back-rest to be
folded onto the seat.

13 Aug 2002TL;DR: In this paper, a chair is provided with a mechanism which enables the seat to be advanced relative to the back-rest, within a predetermined range, in order to support the chair on the floor.
Abstract: The chair comprises, for its support on the floor, a structure ( 16, 12 ) carrying a seat and a back-rest. The chair is provided with a mechanism ( 10 ) which enables the seat to be advanced relative to the back-rest, within a predetermined range.

TL;DR: In this paper, the integrated data compilation of available data of e+ e- --> hadrons, transformed to a unique and meaningful style that implements the pure QED radiative corrections, from the PPDS and HEPDATA databases by the COMPETE Group.
Abstract: In the light of recent muon (g-2) result by the E821 experiment at BNL, the importance of and interest in the total hadronic cross sections in e+ e- collisions and R(e+ e- --> hadrons) have been heightened. We report on the integrated data compilation of available data of e+ e- --> hadrons, transformed to a unique and meaningful style that implements the pure QED radiative corrections, from the PPDS and HEPDATA databases by the COMPETE Group. In particular, the continuum data sets are extracted where the direct comparison of the parton models and different variants of the pQCD corrections can be made and which will be useful for the future refinements of alpha_s(Q^2) and alpha_QED(Q^2).
