Abstract: A method and apparatus for positioning one component relative to another component. First metrology data may be identified for a first component and second metrology data may be identified for a second component. First locations of first features may be identified on the first component using the first metrology data. Second locations of second features on the second component may be identified using the second metrology data. A transformation may be computed based on the first locations identified and the second locations identified for use in modifying a movement plan of a robotic system for positioning the second component relative to the first component.

Abstract: A method for automated provision of build images is disclosed. The method includes identifying the network location of build scripts that provide information regarding the installation of installation files and copying the build scripts from the location on the network to a memory, e.g., a disk drive of a target computer system. In addition, the method includes copying installation files that correspond to the build scripts to the drive of the target machine. The installation files are subsequently installed on the target machine to create the build image.

Abstract: A modular approach to creating a software configuration and to allowing recovery of a configuration. Initial configuration tools can be applied or executed selectively and in different orders at a time of manufacture or shipping of a computer system. Foundation images and modules are stored in a flat directory structure, in one directory, with unique names to make management of, and access to, the images and modules more efficient. Records are used to identify image and module compatibility on specific hardware platforms, or sets (i.e., computer system hardware). In one embodiment a text format is used for the records and other database information to describe and define the images and modules. A hardware set is identified by an identification (ID) code. A recovery set of tools allows a user to selectively restore a system to an original configuration, or to restore selected modules or components.

Abstract: The present invention provides an XML-based programming language, toolkit, and development environment that can be readily used and understood without the need for formal software programming skills to assemble a complete software suite for a computer.

Abstract: A cap holder for supporting the brim of a baseball type cap. The cap holder includes a bracket supporting a cap support member. The cap support member is composed of a substantially continuous frame member defining a substantially U-shaped opening shaped and dimensioned to selectively receive and retain the brim of a cap when bent and positioned through the U-shaped opening.
