  • Publication number: 20250172919
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are improvements to a user interface for building recipes for batch processing. In one embodiment, when a user hovers over phase, the user interface provides a mechanism for the user to either add or edit a transition. If the user hovers over a transition, the user is provided with a mechanism for adding a step. In another embodiment, a user can add comments that are linked to a phase. The user can then either retrieve the comment for a phase, or a phase linked to a comment. In yet another embodiment, the user can add an automated deferment to another level.

  • Patent number: 10065446
    Abstract: A folder and method of making a panel with a plurality of foldable tab extensions. The extensions include first and second regions extending away from the panel, and having scored fold lines therebetween. The uppermost tab region has a releasable adhesive as does a portion of the panel. The panel has a releasable coating or surface such when the tab extensions are folded, either at the first or second region along the fold lines, adhesive on the second region will mate with surface on the panel. To reduce memory effect at the fold, the score lines can be triple scored by parallel two or three parallel score lines. The central score line can be shallower than the parallel scores on either side thereof.
