Abstract: A column shoe assembly can include a shoe body that defines an internal cavity with a rear wall. A lower rod opening can open into the internal cavity and defines a connection axis. An access opening can open into the internal cavity on an opposite side of the connection axis from the rear wall. A thickened rim can extend along a perimeter of the access opening.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and user interface for a native toolbar that sits within a notification or control center of an operating system (OS) and looks native to the device. The native toolbar allows the user to see the notification at the top of their screen or display and is accessible prior to the user unlocking their device and through the notification center within the OS. The native toolbar provides access to frequently used applications, utility applications, a news feed as well as a search function by sending requests and receiving data from a platform that provides the native toolbar with data related to the device being used by the user to allow the native toolbar to appear native to the device.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and user interface for a persistent notification that sits within a notification or control center of an operating system (OS) and looks native to the device. The persistent notification provides access to frequently used applications, utility applications, a news feed as well as a search function by sending requests and receiving data from a platform that provides the persistent notification with data related to the device being used by the user to allow the persistent notification to appear native to the device.
