  • Patent number: 11969578
    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for inter-app communications between software applications on a mobile communications device. In one aspect, a computer-readable medium on a mobile computing device comprising an inter-application communication data structure to facilitate transitioning and distributing data between software applications in a shared app group for an operating system of the mobile computing device includes a scheme field of the data structure providing a scheme id associated with a target software app to transition to from a source software app, wherein the scheme id is listed on a scheme list stored with the source software app; and a payload field of the data structure providing data and/or an identification where to access data in a shared file system accessible to the software applications in the shared app group, wherein the payload field is encrypted.

  • Patent number: 5816467
    Abstract: An apparatus for final assembly of framed artwork includes a conveyor for translating a plurality of art frames past a robot arm assembly. A fastener driver module is supported by the robot arm assembly, the module including a support plate and a magazine secured to the support plate by a pivot assembly at the upper end of the magazine, with the freely pivoting lower end of the magazine depending from the support plate. A pneumatic actuator extends laterally from the support plate to rotate the lower end of the magazine to impinge on the art frame, and another pneumatic actuator supported on the magazine is coupled through a lever arrangement to a driver blade extending through the lower end of the magazine. The driver blade engages the lowermost fastener in the magazine and ejects it forcefully, driving it into the interior opening of the frame on the table.

  • Patent number: 5605270
    Abstract: An apparatus for final assembly of framed artwork includes a table supported on a structural frame, and a pneumatic actuator for raising and lowering the table. Two pairs of tubular rectangular beams extend in rectangular array superjacent to the table, and are secured at opposed ends to the upper ends of respective vertical supports. Clamping sleeves secured to the ends of the lateral beams engage the longitudinal beams, so that the lateral beams may be slidably positioned along the longitudinal beams. A plurality of modules are provided for installing tabs in a picture frame supported on the table, each module including a support plate having a dogleg cutout which is adapted to receive one of the longitudinal or lateral beams, and an adjacent clamp to secure the support plate at any point along the beam. A magazine is secured to the support plate by a pivot assembly at the upper end of the magazine, with the freely pivoting lower end of the magazine depending from the support plate.
