Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for the mapping of behavior to data. Multiple behavior elements from a code library that are compatible with one or more data elements of a document are determined according to a data contract associated with each one of the behavior elements. Each of the behavior elements is configured to consume one or more data elements and produce a user interface feature. One or more of the behavior elements are selected according to one or more rules. A mapping of the selected behavior elements to the data elements is generated.

Abstract: Systems 1000, methods, and machine-executable coded instruction sets for the fully- and/or partly automated handling of goods. In particular, the disclosure provides improvements in the storage and retrieval of storage and delivery containers in order processing systems.

Abstract: A solar device alignment system enabling greater adjustment of solar devices during installation is provided. The alignment system enables both translational and rotational adjustments in multiple degrees of freedom, allowing solar device installers to make greater adjustments to allow greater tolerances in installing solar devices and limit the need for extensive and expensive surveying and/or redesign of the installation to account for those tolerances.

Abstract: End of arm tooling system and a method for manufacture is provided. The end or arm tooling system provides automated material handling, part manipulation, preforming and transferring of a pre-impregnated carbon fiber material. A robot is connected to end of arm tooling for automated material handling and transfer operations from at least a lower preform tool system where light compression is applied to a molding press. The end or arm tooling system includes a cured silicone membrane as well as vacuum and air blow off, allowing for robotically preforming, picking up and dropping-off pre-impregnated carbon fiber materials which are notoriously sticky and difficult to handle.

Abstract: An integrated drive leg and mount suitable for solar power devices, such as trough solar concentrators or PV panels. A drive system including a linear actuator is integrated into the support structure. A pulley assembly converts the linear force into rotational motion, thereby providing tracking adjustments for a solar power device following the sun avoiding larger external electric drive motor which are situated between successive solar power devices. The integrated nature enables a smaller gap between solar power devices in solar installations, reduces the effect of induced shadowing, and enables greater collection of solar energy.

Abstract: A robotic object handling system and robotic load handling device for operation thereon is disclosed. The object handling system includes a number of robotic load handling devices operational on a grid-like structure, the structure having sets of parallel tracks, disposed above a hive of stacked bins. The bins contain inventory items to be picked by the system. Load handling devices capable of carrying multiple bins of a single grid-spacing size or single bins of a multiple grid spacings are operational on the grid and retrieve and transport bins under the control of a computerised order picking utility.

Abstract: A modified compression moulding arrangement where the compression moulding tool has been modified to allow for the use of pre-impregnated pre-form sheets in order to produce class A automotive structural parts in high volume. The pre-impregnated pre-form has continuous un-chopped fibers that extend across an entire length of the pre-impregnated pre-form. The pre-impregnated pre-form is then placed in an open compression moulding tool that has a bottom half and a top half that are movable between an open position and a closed position. When the mould tool is in the closed position, the top half and bottom half create a forming cavity that is defined by a forming surface of the top half and a forming surface of the bottom half. The forming surface of the bottom half has a boundary defined by a run-off edge and an upshear that is necessary for forming a class A structural automotive component using pre-impregnated pre-form material.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments involving access to guest orders in an electronic commerce application. In one embodiment, a request to access a guest account is obtained from a client. The request specifies a destination network address and an order identifier. A message is sent to the destination network address in response to verifying that the destination network address and the order identifier are associated with the guest account. The message includes a link that facilitates access to an order management function for the guest account.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments involving access to guest orders in an electronic commerce application. In one embodiment, a guest order is generated for the purchase of a product in a server based on interaction with a client over a network. The guest order is stored in a data store in isolation with respect to a plurality of user accounts and in isolation with respect to a plurality of other guest orders stored in the data store. Client access is provided in the server to order data associated with the guest order to facilitate at least one customer action with respect to the guest order.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for the mapping of behavior to data. Multiple behavior elements from a code library that are compatible with one or more data elements of a document are automatically determined according to a data contract associated with each one of the behavior elements. Each of the behavior elements is configured to consume one or more data elements and produce a network page feature according to a behavior. One or more of the behavior elements are selected automatically according to a plurality of rules, thereby producing one or more selected behavior elements. A mapping of the one or more selected behavior elements to the one or more data elements is automatically generated.

Abstract: A stringed musical instrument having a pickup system including at least one dual coil pickup, each coil having first and second end terminals and at least one tap to a portion of the coil between the first and second end terminals. A first or mode switch selectively connects first and second output terminals of a pickup circuit to (a) the first end terminals of both coils, (b) the first and a second end terminals of one of the coils, and (c) the at least one tap of both coils. Selection (c) allows for a selection of less than two full coils. The musical instrument includes additional pickups and a second or pickup selector switch to selectively connect the pickups and the first switch to the first output terminal of the pickup circuit.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for tracking a signal source using an antenna with a predetermined beamwidth. The method includes the steps of measuring a signal level from the signal source along an arc within the beamwidth of the antenna, determining a rate of change of the measured signal level along the arc and solving for a position on the arc where the determined rate of change of the signal level substantially equals zero.
