  • Patent number: 11700959
    Abstract: A drinking vessel configured to have an integrated first light source and a second light source so as to broadcast light in a first direction and a second direction. The drinking vessel of the present invention includes an integrally formed bottom and wall wherein the wall has an exterior surface. The first light source is secured to the exterior surface of the wall and is operable to project a light beam outwards from said body. The second light source is circumferentially disposed around the body proximate the lower end of the body. The second light source is configured to broadcast a light beam downwards from the vessel and around thereto. A handle is provided and the handle has a power supply disposed therein and is further configured with a switch to operate the first light source and second light source.

  • Patent number: 10928407
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic automation are provided. An automation module may receive at least one map template that is selectable by a user. Based on the map template, the automation module may dynamically generate a robot deck layout map and/or procedure and also generate a series of robotic commands for a robot. The robotic commands may then be passed to the robot to carry out the automation. Accordingly, the automation may be entirely dynamic, without the need for a user to pre-program or pre-assemble all of the robotic commands prior to the automation. The automation module may thus be able to build, in real-time and/or on the fly, the robotic commands based only on the at least one map template that was selected by the user.

  • Patent number: 9776847
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring safety of work vehicles and worksites. Work vehicles and worksites may be provided with target object sensor units for detecting a condition regarding safety determinative aspects of the work vehicle or worksite. The target object sensor units communicate data regarding the safety determinative aspects to a data acquisition and communication unit that produces safety status data. The safety status data is analyzed to determine whether to issue a notification to a notification unit to alert workers of an unsafe condition. The data acquisition and communication unit transmits the safety status data to a server/processing unit for further analysis. The server/processing unit may track the safety status data regarding each worksite or work vehicle and generate statistical data regarding the safety status data. The server/processing unit may communicate with user interface to display notifications and statistical data.
