  • 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: 8484771
    Abstract: A tub enclosure includes a back wall and a first side wall attached to the back wall. The first side wall and the back wall establish an interior of the tub enclosure. An interior side of the first side wall extends past an interior side of the back wall to establish an offset between the first side wall and the back wall. A caulk joint extends along the offset between the back wall and the first side wall. The caulk joint is obscured from vision when viewed in a direction toward the interior.

  • Patent number: 8095999
    Abstract: Shoulder supports extend from a shower enclosure wall and support a shower accessory. The shoulders have an attachment on the side for the shower accessories. The selected shower accessory would have a mating attachment on each of its ends to correspond to two shoulders extending from the enclosure walls. The attachment is preferably a male/female indentation on one of the shoulders and shower accessory and a corresponding attachment on the other. The indentations provide a non-permanent attachment of the shower accessory to the supports so that the chosen accessory may later be removed and replaced if desired.
