Abstract: An integrated application setup enables the implementation of application customizations through patch technology. A customization patch extends a typical patch file format such that the customization patch serves as a container for application customization data useful for customizing an application using different underlying technologies. The contents of the customization patch can include transforms, cabinet files, and XML content containing customization information.

Abstract: An integrated application setup enables the generation and expression of application customization intent in a generic manner that is indifferent to the way in which the customization intent is implemented. A customization application integrates the process of customizing a target application with the standard setup process for the target application. The customization application allows a user to review customization options for the target application and to specify customization intent through an application configuration user interface (UI). The customization application then generates customization XML that expresses the user's customization intent.

Abstract: A universal connection kit for installing a bath spout having an internal coupling at the discharge end to a wall pipe. The connection kit is made up of a conduit and a number of adapters for connection to varying types of wall pipe. The components are connected together via corresponding threaded sections. The particular adapter used depends upon the type of wall pipe present since each adapter allows connection to one of the common types of wall pipe. The universal connection kit provides a flush fit of the bath spout against the wall, regardless of which adapter is used, if any.
