  • Patent number: 12257659
    Abstract: An assembly for controlling waste material during a hybrid subtractive and additive manufacturing process is disclosed, including a machining tool held in a holder, a shroud disposed around the machining tool, and one or more ports configured to create a negative pressure within the shroud. A method of constraining waste material during a hybrid subtractive and additive manufacturing process of a part includes adding an amount of material to a part being additively manufactured, transforming the amount of material that was added, manipulating a tool to machine a portion of the part being additively manufactured and generating a waste material, sealing a portion of the tool and covering a portion of the part with a shroud, and applying a negative pressure to create an airflow to prevent the waste material from exiting the shroud.

  • Patent number: 11417168
    Abstract: An overhead display assembly includes a display monitor coupled to a monitor tray. The monitor tray is positionable in an operational position and a maintenance position. A support stanchion has an anchoring part, a coupling part, and a stanchion body extending from the anchoring part to the coupling part. The anchoring part is coupleable to a fixed vertical or horizontal supporting structure. A counter-balanced hinging mechanism has one or more pivots upon which monitor tray is configured to rotate with respect to said support stanchion. A force producing device is configured to apply a variable amount of force to the monitor tray based upon a position of the display monitor, the variable amount of force being at least a force sufficient to maintain the monitor tray stationary in an intermediate position between the operational position and the maintenance position.

  • Patent number: 11011010
    Abstract: A gaming machine island includes a plurality of electronic gaming machines and one or more pedestals upon which the gaming machines are positioned and supported. A support stanchion supports one or more components associated with the gaming machines. The support stanchion has a first anchor end, a second coupling end, and a stanchion body extending therebetween. The first anchor end is coupled to a supporting structure different from the one or more pedestals. A counter-balanced hinging mechanism is coupled to the second coupling end of the support stanchion and at least one monitor frame. The counter-balanced hinging mechanism has first and second arm linkage assemblies that permit the monitor frame to pivot. At least one bias member is coupled to the first and second arm linkage assembly. The at least one bias member applies a variable amount of force to maintain the monitor frame stationary in intermediate positions.
