A launder cover comprising one or more flexible sheets can be disposed over at least a majority of the launder channel. Each of the sheet(s) can have opposing inner and outer edges, the inner edge coupled to the inner wall and the outer edge coupled to the outer wall, and can be configured such that, when a single one of the inner and outer edges is decoupled from the inner and outer walls, the sheet is deformable to at least partially uncover the launder channel.

Abstract: A data model metadata editor is described that may be integrated within a customer data platform. The editor enables a user to create and/or edit data model metadata by implementing a graphical user interface (GUI) that prompts the user to provide input and make selections in a manner that accords with rules concerning what information such metadata must include and how the contents of such metadata should be organized and formatted. Furthermore, the editor may perform syntax checking, validate such input and selections against the aforementioned rules, and flag any detected errors and/or potential problems to the user. Still further, the editor may apply the data model metadata (e.g., data schemas) to actual customer data and present the results to the user within the editor GUI so that the user can visually confirm that changes made to the data model metadata accord with the customer data.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for designing/creating, preparing, and installing a natural stone tiled surface at a site that provides a perception of randomness to the observer while actually following a predefined pattern that facilitates simple installation by unskilled trades and allows for the advanced preparation of the stone tiles used. Advanced preparation of the stone tiles allows the offloading of at least some cutting, preparation and installation steps normally required onsite, to an offsite location. In this way, significant time and cost savings can be achieved by shifting time and resources to an offsite location, which minimizes disruptions onsite, allows the building of an inventory of standard shapes, all without compromising the aesthetics or quality of the installation. The system relies on the tessellation or tiling of a specific outline of an irregular concave polygon, that itself includes an internal set of irregular convex polygon shapes.

Advanced preparation of the stone tiles allows the offloading of at least some cutting, preparation and installation steps normally required onsite, to an offsite location. The system relies on the tessellation or tiling of a specific outline of an irregular concave polygon, that itself includes an internal set of irregular convex polygon shapes. The tessellation of an outline that includes such a set of shapes provides an optical effect that makes it difficult for an observer to recognize the repeating nature of the stones within the patterned outline. The system can include one or more orthogonal reference lines to align with reference edges.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for storing data in, and reading data from, machine-readable optical labels are disclosed. A machine-readable optical label includes a data storage layer and a substrate having a reflective surface. The data storage layer defines a plurality of data storage patterns in each of a corresponding number of absorption bands. Each of the data storage patterns encodes a portion of the data stored in the label as a reflectivity of the label in the absorption band of the data storage pattern. The label is read by capturing images of the label in each of a plurality of color channels, with each color channel including one absorption band and excluding the other absorption bands. The data stored by each data storage pattern is then decoded from the image in the corresponding color channel.
