  • Patent number: 11137017
    Abstract: A suction mounting device includes a unitary body of soft or rigid plastic having an interior and an exterior portion connected by a hinge. The exterior portion is movable between first and second positions about the hinge, the first position a pre-mounting position in which a gel material of the exterior portion contacts a mounting surface to form a cavity between the mounting device and the mounting surface, and a second mounting position in which the exterior portion is rotated about the hinge toward the mounting surface to create a larger cavity and a partial vacuum therein to hold the suction device to the mounting surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 5, 2021

  • Patent number: 8762186
    Abstract: A method of creating an analogous workflow is provided. A first workflow is received at a first device, the first workflow including a plurality of first modules that are connected. A second workflow is received at the first device, the second workflow including a plurality of second modules that are connected. A third workflow is received at the first device, the third workflow including a plurality of third modules that are connected. An analogy workflow is determined based on a difference between the received first workflow and the received second workflow. The determined analogy workflow is applied to the received third workflow to define a fourth workflow. A method of identifying a workflow of a plurality of workflows is provided. A query workflow includes a plurality of modules that are connected. A workflow is identified that at least partially matches the received query workflow.

  • Publication number: 20110276915
    Abstract: A method of automatically completing a workflow is provided. An indicator of a partial workflow is received in a computing device. The partial workflow includes a module configured to process data. A workflow completion is determined for the partial workflow based on the partial workflow and a plurality of workflows stored in a computer-readable medium. The workflow completion is configured to further process the data. A workflow is presented in a display operably coupled to the computing device. The workflow includes the determined workflow completion and the partial workflow.
