Patent number: 11978303Abstract: An integrated active control system includes gaming devices, a server, and a network connecting the server and gaming devices. The gaming devices include gaming terminals and gaming tables. The integrated active control system aggregates gaming transaction information from the gaming devices and determines, for example, the effectiveness of the gaming establishment's floor configuration. Based on this effectiveness determination, at least one of the gaming devices are instructed to change their configuration. Staffing information may also be considered and reconfigured. The integrated active control system further monitors and configures gaming chips. The gaming chips are programmable, and may store monetary chip value and chip identification information. The programmable gaming chips are monitored for tracking the wagers made with the chips as well as for detecting their location.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Aristocrat Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gareth Stuart Phillips, Kent Reisdorph, Lattamore D. Osburn, Scott Olive, Gary Frerking, Jeffrey S. Topham, Michael Dugan, John Denlay, Christine Judith Denlay

Patent number: 11921326Abstract: An optical rotary joint includes a first annular portion and a second annular portion configured to rotate with respect to each other. Optical receivers on a receiver face of the second annular portion receive from optical transmit beam launchers on an emitter face of the first annular portion. The transmit beam launchers transmit optical signals to the optical receivers as the second annular portion rotates with respect to the first annular portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Sanmina CorporationInventors: John Michael Dugan, Curtis Pastor, Mark Alt

Patent number: 11765835Abstract: A radar system includes two circuit boards, a first carries an array of antenna elements and the second carries power circuitry to power the circuitry of the first board. To provide adequate cooling whilst minimising the size of the system the two circuit boards are mounted in a sandwich arrangement on opposite sides of a heat sink. Data and power connections between the two boards are provided by a plurality of electrical cables that extend through apertures in the heat sink.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: LEONARDO UK LTDInventors: Anthony Kinghorn, Paul Thompson, Michael Dugan

Patent number: 11602088Abstract: A shield assembly includes a closing structure configured to be disposed over an opening of an enclosure. The closing structure includes an inner surface configured to face an inside of the enclosure when the closing structure is closed and a finger bracket structure mounted on the inner surface, the finger bracket structure having a bracket and one or more finger gaskets coupled to the bracket. An electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielded gasket disposed along a portion of the opening of the enclosure shields an edge of the opening of the enclosure or a radio frequency (RF) fence bracket coupled to a frame disposed around the opening of the enclosure creates a narrow path between the frame and the closing structure, the narrow path attenuating RF signals passing through the narrow path and shielding an edge of the opening of the enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2022Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: CAREFUSION 303, INC.Inventors: Michael Rahilly, Edward Stephen Ferner, Jr., Brendan John Burgess, Scott Riley, Michael Dugan Joyce, Noe Arroyo, Chris Pedersen

Patent number: 11304345Abstract: A door assembly is described. The door assembly includes a door structure that is mounted over an opening of an enclosure. The door structure includes a body that includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first surface may face an inside of the enclosure when the door structure is closed. The door structure includes a number of finger bracket structures mounted on the first surface. Each one of the finger bracket structures includes a bracket and one or more finger gaskets coupled to the bracket. The finger gaskets of the finger bracket structures may contact enclosure brackets mounted around an edge of the opening of the enclosure when the door structure is closed. A combination of the finger gaskets in contact with enclosure brackets may create an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield at the edge of the opening of the enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: CAREFUSION 303, INC.Inventors: Michael Rahilly, Edward Stephen Ferner, Jr., Brendan John Burgess, Scott Riley, Michael Dugan Joyce, Noe Arroyo, Chris Pedersen
