  • Patent number: 12677757
    Abstract: A plant display device is disclosed which can be anchored within a window and is capable of supporting several potted plants simultaneously. The plant display device comprises a pair of independent vertical bars aligned vertically on opposite sides of the window and clamped into place. Then, multiple horizontal bars are installed at different heights along the vertical length. Each horizontal bar can support several potted plant holders held in place by a nut and bolt fixture. Users can screw the nut and bolt fixtures onto the horizontal bars to display their potted plants within the circular holders. Users can display their plants in a custom manner without worry of the plants being dropped or knocked over by children, pets, etc.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8718371
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for image-based measurement and inspection of pre-engineered structural components, such as building trusses and wall panels. A system can include: a light source; a camera; a first memory storage; a second memory storage; and a processing unit configured to (i) detect a characteristic of the structural component, (ii) compare the characteristic to a corresponding characteristic of at least one reference data, and (iii) indicate a result of the comparison. A method can include: causing a light source to illuminate a portion of the structural component, receiving a reflection of the light source from the illuminated portion of the structural component, and storing data corresponding to the intensity of the reflection; comparing the stored data to at least one reference data; and indicating a result of the comparison.
