Abstract: A system is provided comprising a robotic instrument for use with a tool. In some versions, the robotic instrument comprises a hand-held portion to be held by a user and a tool support movably coupled to the hand-held portion to support the tool. The robotic instrument further includes an actuator assembly operatively attached to the tool support and the hand-held portion and configured to move the tool support relative to the hand-held portion in a plurality of degrees of freedom. The robotic instrument may includes a handle alignment member extending from the hand-held portion. At least a portion of the handle alignment member and a tool plane defined by the tool are aligned when the tool support has an optimal range of motion relative to the hand-held portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle roof top lamp in the form of an automotive vehicle roof spoiler wherein one or more lights are encapsulated within the body of a translucent aerodynamic housing. The preferred embodiment includes a housing having a base portion and a cover portion which are mated to conceal one or more lamps therein such that upon activation of the lamp means the spoiler becomes illuminated.

Abstract: Provided is a combination for partitioning a pick-up truck bed defined by a front wall, a rear tailgate, first and second laterally spaced side walls, first and second wheel house inners, and a floor into smaller compartments. The bed includes a first plurality of vertically disposed channels integrally formed in the first side wall, a second plurality of vertically disposed channels integrally formed in the second side wall and at least one bulkhead member. The bed further includes a vertical channel disposed in both the first and second wheel house inners. The bulkhead members are adapted to be slidably inserted into a pair of corresponding opposing coplanar channels. The vertically disposed channels extend a substantial portion of the vertical length of the first and second side walls.

Abstract: A storage container primarily for use as a tool or utility box for pick-up trucks. The container is located in the space between the rear wall of the truck cab and the front wall of the truck bed. The container is generally box-shaped with a mechanism to enable access within the container and a mechanism to releasably lock the container. The container also has a hollow lower bin with a mechanism to enable access to the bin. The lower bin can be used to store tools, small objects or containers of liquid which have a tendency to spill.
