Yee Hah! The worst recession since the Great Depression was declared officially over in June of 2009. We should be feeling great, since all things considered, the insurance industry fared pretty well when it came to how it emerged from that dark tunnel. But except for one notable role voice, insurers, unlike their banking peers, are still holding back from growing the business. How do we know? We took a look at nearly 5,000 inquiries that Forrester answered for insurers, bankers, and securities firms in the wake of failure of Lehman Brothers to just after this May's Flash Crash.
What was on the minds of insurers during these six quarters? For starters, insurers:
Posted by Benjamin Ensor on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on June 17, 2010
One of the most common questions banking eBusiness executives ask Forrester analysts is: "What do you think of my Web site?". That's always a tough question to answer because what I think of a Web site depends on who I am and what I'm trying to use it for. To help UK bank eBusiness executives answer that question, my colleague Vanessa Niemeyer has just published a benchmark of the sales content and functionality on the Web sites of 10 of the UK's biggest banking brands, from the perspective of a typical customer trying to switch current account provider.
Some background: UK Net users are among the most likely anywhere in the world to use the Net to research and buy financial products. According to our Consumer Technographics® surveys, almost 60% of UK Net users have researched a financial product online in the past 12 months, more than in any other European country. Two out of five UK Net users have applied for a financial product online in the past year, which is double the Western European average. So you might think that UK bank Web sites are all highly effective sales sites.

I agree with you
completely, Betty.
I would not use parent irises that were
not at the top of their class. I
understand that hybridizers are looking for different things. Some are mostly concerned with the
ability to do well in their difficult climate. I am looking for the forms I like best
with excellent branching, bud count, disease resistance, attractive clumps and
unique color combinations. Rebloom
is certainly a big bonus. I am very
particular about substance. I want
my beauties to last. I once
destroyed a seedling that had the prettiest blossom I had ever seen because it
held up only twenty four hours. The
flowers were gorgeous; the clump, covered with dead or dying blossoms, was a
mess. Garden presence is also very

a really good rule to keep in mind when breeding for more ruffled

it doesn't necessarily hold true.
Checking your seedling against it's parents is of no value if the parents are
inferior to others of their class. Start with the best you can
afford. But know that if you start with 30 year old blue irises, it is
highly unlikely you will produce anything that outshines those that
are currently "top of the line." Breeders of these

THE Embassy of Japan in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports (MCYS) will be organising the ONE Asia Joint Concert at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Berakas on December 3.
Set to begin at 7.30pm, the concert will see traditional ensembles from both countries and is part of the year-long celebrations commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Brunei-Japanese bilateral friendship.
Performing for the Japanese side will be the top orchestral group in Japan, AUN J – which comprises eight young Japanese instrument players. The group has received great acclaim from not just across Asia, but Europe as well.
The upcoming concert will essentially mark its second year as part of continuous efforts to ensure the ONE Asia Joint Concert is not a fleeting event, but the robust core of an exchange of Asian networks.
The goal of the concert is to highlight the importance of exchanging Asian roots, culture and tradition through music – an ambitious goal which was realised by both the Japanese and Brunei committees.
The concert will see a group of five Bruneian youthful artistes under the auspices of the Culture and Arts Section of the MCYS – two of whom will be joining the ONE Asia concert entourage in Myanmar, as part of the ONE Asia tour this year.
The concert is open to the public and tickets can be collected at the Japanese Embassy Office in Kiulap. Ticket holders will be guaranteed seats, however, individuals without tickets will be allowed to enter, but seats will not be guaranteed.

The End: After Death
** Chloe**
I wake up one nite with a paper in my hands. I opened it and it sayed:
Your Assinmant: Protect Faith Sanchez
I didnt know how or what happend but i new what to do. I instantly arrived at her house. She was 5 years old and was playing with her older sister. I didnt kno wat to do so i just said "Hi" She straightend her bak and look in my direction. "HI!" Her sister looked at her weird. "Who your talking to?" she asked "My imaginary Friend! Her name is Me"
**Few Years Later**
Ok so Faith figured out who i was. And to top it off we got my Bro and Sis here too. We usually talk 2 each other mentally now. you guys are such a pain! sometimes i swear! that was krystalin. "Thank you we try our best :3" that was me. ':D we excell on bieng pains' that was Jessie. ""You guys ARE total pain -.-"" and that was Nick. We figured out that our dad was a Fallen Angel but w/ more powers. And our Mom was part cat. Our Dad killed us cuz he really didnt like us. but he's also scared of us because of wat we became. Since we're part Angel and Fallen Angel and part Cat, He's scared of wat we became. Also Faiths friend May is going to be future princess of the WHOLE world...i think.
I had came into May's body a little while after jessie came. I was SO happy to find out we were together again (Author: AAAWWWW). She also had some other people here too. A girl name fiara is stuck inside her for who know's how long, Mark her gardian, Alice the vampire and herself . So we started texting Faith and they we're talking about how much we liked each other so i finally cracked ""You kno wat? *kisses jessie* wuld u like 2 go out w/ me?"" that is when we're txting. 'Um..*blushes*sure' But then we had to leave.
'omg omg omg! thomas asked me out!!!!eekkkkk!!!!! *starts dancing around the room*' oh godz i bet ur happy 'yes! *starts flying around the house*' xD hey jessie i bet u looked at his butt! '-,- no i didnt!' ur blushing! yea u did!' i swear 2 god i didnt!' stop lying! u liar! '-,- im not admiting anything!' FINE watever Ugh Faith is so annoying sumtimes -,-

The subject invention relates to industrial control systems and, more particularly, to human-machine interfaces (HMIs).
Due to advances in computing technology, businesses today are able to operate more efficiently when compared to substantially similar businesses only a few years ago. For example, internal networking enables employees of a company to communicate instantaneously by email, quickly transfer data files to disparate employees, manipulate data files, share data relevant to a project to reduce duplications in work product, etc. Furthermore, advancements in technology have enabled factory applications to become partially or completely automated. For instance, operations that once required workers to put themselves proximate to heavy machinery and other various hazardous conditions can now be completed at a safe distance therefrom.
Further, imperfections associated with human action have been minimized through employment of highly precise machines. Many of these factory devices supply data related to manufacturing to databases or web services referencing databases that are accessible by system/process/project managers on a factory floor. For instance, sensors and associated software can detect a number of instances that a particular machine has completed an operation given a defined amount of time. Further, data from sensors can be delivered to a processing unit related to system alarms. Thus, a factory automation system can review collected data and automatically and/or semi-automatically schedule maintenance of a device, replacement of a device, and other various procedures that relate to automating a process.
To quickly and easily effectuate control of a system or process within industrial automation environments, equipment manufacturers typically create specialized human-machine interfaces (HMIs) that are employed by operators to deliver commands to industrial systems/processes and/or receive data from industrial systems/processes. In other words, HMIs provide an essential communication link between operators and automation devices, wherein such HMIs enable operators to, among other things, implement and control devices and receive feedback by monitoring device status and health during operation. Without these interfaces, high-level industrial automation would be difficult if not impossible to achieve.
Over time, HMIs have undergone several and drastic changes. For instance, a push-button that commissions and de-commissions a machine is a simplest form of a HMI, and these interfaces have been existent for several years. Terminals were later designed that displayed text messages to end users, wherein such messages are indicative of a process performed by a server or processor associated with an automation device. For example, a failed device can generate an internal error code representing a determined error which can then be matched with a particular error message. This message can thereafter be displayed to an operator on a display device. Development of client-side processing has enabled graphical depictions of status and control commands to operators, which has shifted a burden from an automated device or associated processor to a client-side graphical user interface. These graphical user interfaces improve an ability of users to access information quickly and easily.
Generation of these HMIs, however, has remained extremely problematic. For instance, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) today is forced to utilize a pointing and clicking mechanism, a keyboard, and his/her imagination to generate HMI displays for a particular device and/or process. This task is often laborious, time-consuming, error prone and frustrating to a designer of one of such interfaces. In more detail, a designer of an HMI can spend months designing HMI for a plant due to specific needs of such plant. This process can cause designer angst, as numerous steps are required to build an HMI and perform what seem to be simple operations. Currently, hot keys, tool bars, menu options, and various validation techniques are employed to aid in design and implementation of HMIs.
The following presents a simplified summary of the claimed subject matter in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects described herein. This summary is not an extensive overview, and is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope of the claimed subject matter. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and articles of manufacture that facilitate generation of human-machine interfaces (HMIs) by way of voice commands are described herein. In more detail, a designer or operator wishing to build an HMI, rather than laboriously traversing menus by way of keyboard, mouse, and the like, can simply utilize voice commands to render design of HMIs more efficiently. For example, an operator can make simple statements regarding a system, device, process, and/or sub-process for which an HMI is desirably generated. These voice commands can be received, for instance, through utilization of a microphone or any other device that facilitates voice reception. The voice commands can be analyzed and translated into a format that facilitates retrieval of HMI-related data from a database. For instance, the voice commands can be translated into a query that conforms to a database query language. The database can include a sufficient amount of information to generate a robust and useful HMI. In one particular example, the database can include device-related data, such as type of device, capabilities of a device, associations of a device, users associated with the device, user authorization levels relating to the device, physical location of the device, etc. Moreover, the database can include data relating to processes, sub-processes, systems, and the like.
While initial voice commands can be useful in generating an HMI, often such initial commands may be associated with insufficient information and/or specificity to enable creation of a suitable HMI. Accordingly, a dialog can be created if more information is needed to generate the HMI. For instance, a designer can provide a first voice command and a database can be accessed based upon such command. It can then be determined that there is insufficient data associated with the command to create the HMI. Questions can be provided to the designer to extract more information from such designer relating to the HMI. In a detailed example, the designer can state "generate an HMI for a pump." A dialog can be created asking the designer which type of pump, where the pump is located, etc., thereby enabling extraction of data from the database that relates precisely to the designer's wishes.
Furthermore, data utilized in connection with one or more features described herein can conform to a hierarchically structured data model that can be permeated throughout a factory. In one particular example, the data model can be based at least in part upon ISA S88, ISA S95, OMAC, and/or any combination thereof. This data model enables efficient updating of the above-referenced database through plug-and-play techniques. In more detail, an industrial automation network can be monitored to determine when/if a device has been added/removed from the network. Parameters from such device can then be received through interrogating the device and/or any other suitable means. In still yet another example, tool-tip functionality can be included. For instance, an operator can specify portions of an HMI that will be associated with tool-tips, wherein the tool-tips are activated through voice commands and/or by hovering over a particular portion of the HMI.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the claimed subject matter can be employed, and such matter is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. Other advantages and novel features will become apparent from the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
The claimed subject matter is now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the claimed subject matter. It may be evident, however, that such matter can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate describing the invention.
As used in this application, the terms "component" and "system" and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an instance, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a computer and the computer can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers.
Furthermore, the claimed subject matter may be implemented as a method, apparatus, or article of manufacture using standard programming and/or engineering techniques to produce software, firmware, hardware, or any combination thereof to control a computer to implement the disclosed subject matter. The term "article of manufacture" as used herein is intended to encompass a computer program accessible from any computer-readable device, carrier, or media. For example, computer readable media can include but are not limited to magnetic storage devices (e.g., hard disk, floppy disk, magnetic strips . . . ), optical disks (e.g., compact disk (CD), digital versatile disk (DVD) . . . ), smart cards, and flash memory devices (e.g., card, stick, key drive . . . ). Additionally it should be appreciated that a carrier wave can be employed to carry computer-readable electronic data such as those used in transmitting and receiving electronic mail or in accessing a network such as the Internet or a local area network (LAN). Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize many modifications may be made to this configuration without departing from the scope or spirit of the claimed subject matter. Moreover, the word "exemplary" is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects or designs.
Turning now to the drawings,
The voice recognition component 102 can, upon receipt of the voice commands, translate such commands into digitized data that can be received and contemplated by a processor. For instance, the voice commands can be translated into a query in a particular language. In another example, the voice recognition component 102 can translate the voice commands into text, which can thereafter be converted into a query or other suitable command that can be executed by a processor. The system 100 further includes a view generation component 104 that receives commands and/or queries that are generated from the voice commands received by the voice recognition component 102. The view generation component 104 can access a data store 106 and locate text, graphics, images, video, and the like that are associated with the voice commands. Continuing with the above example relating to the pump, the view generation component 104 can access the data store 106 and determine parameters relating to the pump. For instance, number of inputs/outputs associated with the pump, devices associated with the pump, type of pump, and any other suitable data can be included within the data store 106. Based at least in part upon such parameters, the view generation component 104 can create an HMI 108. Thus, voice commands can be utilized to create the HMI.
Voice commands received by the voice recognition component and implemented by the view generation component 104 can also relate to style of the HMI (and not solely content). For instance, the voice commands can relate to size or position of a graphical object, color of particular depictions within the HMI 108, text displayed on the HMI, and the like. For instance, an operator creating the HMI can see that the HMI 108 includes a graphical depiction of a particular color in a certain location. The operator can state "move picture left one inch", and the graphical depiction can be relocated accordingly. Similarly, the operator can state "change color of pushbutton one to blue" and the color of such pushbutton can be altered. In still yet another example, the system 100 can be utilized to restrict access to a generated HMI. For instance, the voice commands can indicate that a select group of individuals should be able to access and utilize the HMI 108. In a more detailed example, the operator can state "restrict use of HMI to maintenance personnel." This statement can be recognized by the voice recognition component 102 and a translated version thereof can be delivered to the view generation component 104. The view generation component can then create the HMI 108 so that access is restricted to the specified personnel. While the above examples describe creation of an HMI de novo, it is understood that the system 100 can be employed to modify and/or update an existent HMI.
Now referring to
As described above, the classifier 206 can be employed to determine user identity, and such determination can be utilized for security purposes (e.g., to determine whether the user is authorized to generate an HMI by way of the system 200) as well as to aid in recognizing the voice commands. For instance, a first user of the system 200 can be from Australia and be associated with a dialect that is dissimilar from a second user who is from New York City. Upon determining user identity, various classifiers (not shown) can be selected to facilitate comprehending voice commands provided by an operator. For example, a first classifier or set of classifiers can be associated with a first user while a second classifier or set of classifiers can be associated with a second user.
The system 200 further includes an interactive component 208 that effectuates extracting additional information from a provider of the voice commands. For instance, the interactive component 206 can output text to a graphical screen and/or output audio signals indicating that additional information is required. Thus, the interactive component 208 can be utilized to effectuate a dialog between a provider of the voice commands and the system 200. In one particular example, an operator can state "create HMI for a pump." The interactive component 208 can then request additional, more specific information from the operator, such as "what type of pump," "what is the location of the pump," or any other suitable inquiries or requests for additional information. In another example, the interactive component 208 can be communicatively associated with a view generation component 210 that accesses a data store 212, wherein the data store 212 includes information that can be utilized to create an HMI 214. For example, the data store 212 can include data indicative of associations between devices, device capabilities, device parameters, process parameters, graphical depictions of devices, processes, and the like, video, and any other suitable data that may be necessary to create the HMI 214. The associations and other data within the data store 212 can be generated automatically through plug-and-play techniques, device interrogation, or any other suitable means. In another example, the data within the data store 212 can be entered manually by one or more operators.
In one exemplary use of the system 200, an operator can provide voice commands to the voice recognition component 202 relating to creation of an HMI for a conveyor. The user recognition component 204 can analyze the voice commands (through utilization of the classifier 206) and determine an identity of the provider of the voice commands. This identification can then be used to better comprehend voice commands provided to the voice recognition component 202. Voice commands can then be translated to a query language or other suitable language that can be processed by a processor. The view generation component 210 can access the data store 212 to determine if the HMI 214 can be generated based upon the received commands. If the information is insufficient or too vague (which can be determined upon analyzing content of the data store 212), the view generation component can inform the interactive component 208, and such component 208 can request additional information from the provider of the voice commands. Using the system 200, use of a mouse, keyboard, menus, and other conventional devices will not be necessary to generate the HMI 214.
In another example, a designer of an HMI can provide information to the voice recognition component 202 relating to which users are authorized to utilize a created/modified HMI as well as access privileges associated with the HMI. In other words, the designer can enter names, responsibilities and security access information for all operators into the HMI /screen they are creating. Then the designer can specify who has access to perform what actions once the HMI system is put in operation. Accordingly, the HMI 214 generated through utilization of the system 200 can automatically determine, based on device, who has access to the device and actions that can be undertaken with respect to the device. In a specific example, a designer can provide a command such as "create a display to control a pump at location Y" to the voice recognition component 202 and passed to the view generation component 210. The data store 212 can then be accessed by the view generation component 210 to gather information not just about the pump but also about identities of operators in the plant, which operators are allowed to perform operations with respect to the pump, and which actions are authorized for each operator. These security settings can automatically be applied to the objects on the HMI graphical display without the designer having to specify such settings manually.
Now referring to
Voice commands received by the voice recognition component 302 (and possibly analyzed by the detection component 304) can be translated to a language that is interpretable by a processing device (e.g., the voice commands can be translated to queries formatted in a proper query language, such as SQL) and provided to a view generation component 306. The view generation component 306 can then access a data store 308 and retrieve data, images, and the like associated with the voice commands. As described above, the data store 308 can include sufficient data to generate an HMI given appropriate commands. The system 300 further includes a connection component 310 that facilitates generating a communications connection between a device which will be displaying an HMI 312 and devices controlled through such HMI 312. For instance, if the HMI 312 is built to control a press with three states, then a communications channel must be created between the HMI 312 and the press to facilitate control of the press. Thus, if an operator wished to transfer the press from a first state to a second state, such state alteration could be effectuated through the HMI 312.
Referring now to
The system 400 further includes an updating component 412 that facilitates updating the data store 406 with data relating to an industrial automation system 414. For example, the updating component 412 can include plug-and-play functionality. Thus, when a device is added to a network, system, or process, the updating component 412 can receive data relating to such device, including capabilities of the device, associated devices, parameters relating to the device, physical location of the device, address of the device on a network, and any other suitable data. The updating component 412 can receive this information passively or actively. For instance, an added device can provide data to a network, which can then be received by the updating component 412. In another example, the updating component 412 can interrogate a device at a time of addition of the device to a network. Results of the interrogation can then be added to the data store 406.
To enable such addition of data and maintenance of a robust data store, data associated with the industrial automation system 414 can be structured in accordance with a hierarchically structured data model. For instance, the hierarchically structured data model can be based at least in part upon ISA S88, ISA S95, OMAC, and/or any suitable combination thereof. Accordingly, the data within the data store 406 can be representative of particular devices, portions of devices, processes, portions of processes, associations, and the like. Programmable logic controllers (not shown) utilized to control devices/processes can include at least a portion of a schema that enables such controllers to recognize and output data that is structured in accordance with the hierarchically structured data model. The programmable logic controllers, through utilization of this data model, can interact with other controllers as well as higher-level systems, such as an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. ERP systems typically handle manufacturing, logistics, distribution, inventory, shipping, invoicing, and accounting for a company. The schema referenced above can also be employed by an ERP system associated with the programmable logic controller, thereby enabling seamless communication between programmable logic controllers and ERP systems. Conventional systems, in contrast, often require ad-hoc programming to map between low-level logic utilized in controllers with more advanced object-oriented programming languages often employed within ERP systems. Another common use would be to interact with a Supply Chain Management system (SCM).
The hierarchically structured data model can be designed in such a manner to enable the data received by the updating component 412 to correspond to a hierarchical arrangement of systems and/or a hierarchical arrangement of processes that occur within the plant. Furthermore, the hierarchically structured data model can be designed in a manner that enables modeling of a plant across system and/or process boundaries. The hierarchically structured data model can be implemented so that a substantially similar structure is provided with respect to a batch process, a continuous process, a discrete process, and inventory tracking.
Turning now to
The voice recognition component 504 can analyze the voice commands and translate them into a computer-readable format (e.g., formatted as a query). The translated voice commands can be provided to a view generation component 508 that accesses data that can be employed to build an HMI 510. For example, the view generation component 508 can access/receive data indicating devices, systems, processes, sub-processes, capabilities of devices, and the like.

In another example, a database can be updated with video and/or picture data. For instance, a user can manually input this type of data into the database. In a different instance, cameras can be provided within an industrial environment and designed to send data directly to a data store. This would enable live video feed to be available within an HMI. For example, an HMI can be generated that points to a live video feed, and the display can be populated with data from such feed.

With reference to
The system bus 1018 can be any of several types of bus structure(s) including the memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus or external bus, and/or a local bus using any variety of available bus architectures including, but not limited to, 8-bit bus, Industrial Standard Architecture (ISA), Micro-Channel Architecture (MSA), Extended ISA (EISA), Intelligent Drive Electronics (IDE), VESA Local Bus (VLB), Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), Universal Serial Bus (USB), Advanced Graphics Port (AGP), Personal Computer Memory Card International Association bus (PCMCIA), and Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI).
The system memory 1016 includes volatile memory 1020 and nonvolatile memory 1022. The basic input/output system (BIOS), containing the basic routines to transfer information between elements within the computer 1012, such as during start-up, is stored in nonvolatile memory 1022. By way of illustration, and not limitation, nonvolatile memory 1022 can include read only memory (ROM), programmable ROM (PROM), electrically programmable ROM (EPROM), electrically erasable ROM (EEPROM), or flash memory. Volatile memory 1020 includes random access memory (RAM), which acts as external cache memory. By way of illustration and not limitation, RAM is available in many forms such as synchronous RAM (SRAM), dynamic RAM (DRAM), synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), double data rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM), enhanced SDRAM (ESDRAM), Synchlink DRAM (SLDRAM), and direct Rambus RAM (DRRAM).
Computer 1012 also includes removable/non-removable, volatile/non-volatile computer storage media.
It is to be appreciated that
A user enters commands or information into the computer 1012 through input device(s) 1036. Input devices 1036 include, but are not limited to, a pointing device such as a mouse, trackball, stylus, touch pad, keyboard, microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, TV tuner card, digital camera, digital video camera, web camera, and the like. These and other input devices connect to the processing unit 1014 through the system bus 1018 via interface port(s) 1038. Interface port(s) 1038 include, for example, a serial port, a parallel port, a game port, and a universal serial bus (USB). Output device(s) 1040 use some of the same type of ports as input device(s) 1036. Thus, for example, a USB port may be used to provide input to computer 1012, and to output information from computer 1012 to an output device 1040. Output adapter 1042 is provided to illustrate that there are some output devices 1040 like monitors, speakers, and printers, among other output devices 1040, which require special adapters. The output adapters 1042 include, by way of illustration and not limitation, video and sound cards that provide a means of connection between the output device 1040 and the system bus 1018. It should be noted that other devices and/or systems of devices provide both input and output capabilities such as remote computer(s) 1044.
Computer 1012 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as remote computer(s) 1044. The remote computer(s) 1044 can be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a workstation, a microprocessor based appliance, a peer device or other common network node and the like, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to computer 1012. For purposes of brevity, only a memory storage device 1046 is illustrated with remote computer(s) 1044. Remote computer(s) 1044 is logically connected to computer 1012 through a network interface 1048 and then physically connected via communication connection 1050.

German coach Joachim Löw insisted yesterday that his squad would go into the World Cup in top form and good heart despite suffering a cruel string of injuries which has ruled out several first-choice players.
Injuries have so far accounted for Chelsea's Michael Ballack, the forceful captain, and four other players, severely restricting Löw's options in midfield for the tournament in South Africa and, in the process, robbing his team of its natural leader.
But two comfortable victories against Hungary and Bosnia in the past few days have demonstrated that the Germans have been more than able to absorb the shock of these withdrawals, with the team playing at times mesmerising football.
"We are going into this tournament well prepared," Löw said before the squad boarded the huge A380 passenger plane bound for Johannesburg. The squad, who will arrive today, will then travel to their base outside Pretoria.
"I have full confidence in the quality of our team," Löw added.
While he still has to finalise his choices in defence and attack, Löw seems to have decided on his new-look midfield. Sami Khedira and Bastian Schweinsteiger have made a seamless transition from supporting actors under Ballack to establishing themselves in leading roles, combining beautifully to initiate Germany's offensive play from their holding midfield positions.
Thomas Müller also looks to have edged out any rivals for a spot on the wing, with the 20-year-old excelling with some fine performances. Overall, Ballack's injury looks to have been a blessing in disguise with the team playing more freely, the captain's responsibilities now shared by more than just one player.
"We know what we have to do," said the impressive Schweinsteiger. "Most of us have gone through these situations before."
Germany take on Australia in their first Group D match on 13 June before tackling Serbia and Ghana.

When you're pitched up against a multi award-winning programme like Homeland you better come out swinging.
Despite watching all 14 episodes of Hostages so far - may I add at this point that I watch everything so me being up to date is no gauge for the show's quality - I feel the Toni Collette and Dylan McDermott-starring crime drama lacked any real bite.
There are heavy-hitting shows that wrap you in mystery like Lost that run for six series. There are nail-biting thrillers like 24 which have you reaching for a fictional time machine in a bid to see the next episode. And then you have half-decent, mono-concepts that fall at the first hurdle.
The latter relates to Hostages.
OK, maybe not fall at the first hurdle. Perhaps gets stuck half way through and ends up lacking ideas in how to get over, before it ends with no one watching as it finally limps across the finish line.
At the start of the year Hostages was billed as 'the new Homeland'. Here are the reasons the ill-fated failure was tarred with the wrong brush.
You can only have ONE Israeli remake
Believe it or not but both CBS broadcast Hostages and Showtime's Homeland are US remakes of Israeli shows - which have been imported by the good folk at Channel 4. Hostages is based on Bnei Aruba and Homeland a carbon copy of a show called Prisoners of War. I'm not sure what the quota is for
ripping off buying up Israeli TV, but I'm pretty sure it's one.
Flogging Jerry Bruckheimer's name will only get you so far
Tricks like having 'from executive producers Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean films, CSI series) and Jeffrey Nachmanoff (Chicago Fire)' all over the promotion of the series will ONLY get your foot in the door, it's actually gripping audiences that makes viewers want to open it.
Misleading imagery
We were expecting some serious stuff when these images surfaced. What is the number for trading standards? This shot looks far too cool/exciting/outside of the box to represent the 14 episodes that I've witnessed.
Channel 4 unwittingly wrote off Hostages from the start
Channel 4's chief creative officer, Jay Hunt, said Hostages is "not a Homeland wannabe". She added: "While it too is an Israeli format, it's got a different tone entirely. But I think the audience will enjoy watching another complex show which has all the twists and turns of a great Hollywood movie."
From that moment, viewers were looking out for a 'complex show' (from executive co-producer Jerry Bruckheimer) and not a programme that turned down a short, one-way street about 23 minutes into episode one.
Thanks Toni and Dylan, but no thanks
Mr McDermott was too clean cut and honest-looking to play the rogue FBI agent turned President-killing, family-kidnapping life-saver, Duncan Carlisle. And Collette - although she was great in [please insert the TV series and film in which she was great] I never got past the fact that she starred in About a Boy.
No Damien Lewis
Channel 4 just kept plugging 'thrilling' Hostages
'Hostages is a thrilling and suspenseful new 15-part one-hour series about a family caught in the middle of a grand political conspiracy that will change their lives forever.' Apart from needlessly shooting Morgan's boyfriend, a limo driver, a nurse that was taking the blame anyway and a couple of assassins - that never harmed anyone - where were the real 'thrills'? ...which leads me on to the next point...
Pointless limo driver story arch
Yes I understand the need to add flavour to secondary characters - who are mainly vanilla for 93.34% of the series - but don't just throw in a pointless death, coupled with a police case that simply stopped after a nonsense alibi and a fancy lawyer showed up.
Next thing you know they'll say that Kramer is a recovering alcoholic and do nothing with that either. Oh, what? They did that too?
Why were we bothered about this woman again?
She was the President's put-it-about-a-bit sister-in-law, not the President. In fact, what power did she have?
Low viewing figures
On launch night Hostages could only attract a reported 1.3million viewers. Meaning it was beaten by Morecambe and Wise in Pieces which was over on BBC Two and watched by 2 million viewers. Says it all really.
The moment everyone turned off
OK, so let me get this straight. You're willing to kill for your wife, several times. The mother of the daughter you love so dearly but a couple of pouts from Dr. Sanders and your FBI legs go all wobbly? Please.
Forget all of the faffing around, surgeries, heart monitors, and magic poison potions - made of invisible, undetectable danger liquid - why not just kill Kincaid? If the conspiracy went so high up, why not just take him out and put whoever you want in place? It would make for a shorter series but at least we'd get our Saturday's back (or Tivo space, depending on how you watched it).
No Claire Danes
Various time changes
Is it on at 10pm? Is it on at 9pm? Is it on at 8.05pm? Who knows?
CBS say there are NO plans for series 2
I could have told you that SIX/ SEVEN months ago as they've been DRAGGING the series out for 15 episodes. Nina Tassler from the US network confirmed that the show wouldn't be renewed.
She told US publication TVGuideMagazine: "Hostages had its challenges, but we stuck with it and it had its run and we learned a lot [in terms] of telling story."
Yes, Nina, Hostages did have it's challenges, didn't it.

Obviously, you didn't buy your C1500 Suburban unless you wanted to buy horsepower and American style both rolled up into one automobile. Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to locate the best parts to repair your C1500 Suburban. It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Power Steering Line - Pressure for your automobile. Anyone who drives a Chevrolet knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do.
Never underestimate the importance of your power steering system and all of its parts. If you think you have a leak in your Chevrolet C1500 Suburban power steering pressure hose, turn the engine on and crank the wheel all the way to the right and then all the way back to the left. If you see hydraulic fluid pouring out from under the driver's side of the car or front of the engine, then you've found the leak. Without a power steering pressure hose, you might as well be driving a car from the 1950s. That's because the power steering pressure line on your Chevrolet C1500 Suburban takes the hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering pump and sends it to the steering gear box. From there, the rack and pinion use the pressure to convert the relatively easy motions you make when steering to very powerful forces that act upon the tie rods... all thanks to the power steering pressure hose.
Ordering new Chevrolet parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement C1500 Suburban parts on the internet. When your Chevrolet needs a top quality replacement Power Steering Line - Pressure, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. All the Chevrolet C1500 Suburban Power Steering Line - Pressure parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992.
