Patent number: 11951055Abstract: A patient support apparatus supports a patient and includes a litter. A base is disposed below the litter. A lift mechanism is configured to move the litter and the base relative to one another between extended and collapsed positions. The lift mechanism includes first and second frame assemblies each including an outer frame member and an inner frame member arranged to move within the outer frame member. First and second rollers and first and second slide members are disposed between the outer and inner frame members. The first and second rollers are arranged to roll along at least one of the outer and inner frame members with a load exerted on the lift mechanism from the litter. The first and second slide members are arranged to slide along at least one of the outer and inner frame members with a load exerted on the lift mechanism from the base.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: William Ross Heneveld, Jr., Chad Conway Souke, Michael T. Brubaker, Mackenzie Van Loon

Publication number: 20220215715Abstract: A slot machine, gaming method, and program product are provided to dynamically display visual and audio content to be played in synchronization with a music track. A digital signal processor performs frequency analysis of background music as it is played, and identifies musical beats to create beat events. The beat event is used to trigger additional presentation elements such as visual effects, sounds, and lighting on the beat of the background music. Spectral content information from the frequency analysis is used to create dynamic background graphics.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2022Publication date: July 7, 2022Applicant: Everi Games, Inc.Inventors: Lawrence J. Knipp, Jarim Cardenas, Michael Conway

Publication number: 20210214732Abstract: The present disclosure relates to cells, including stem cells, comprising an autobioluminescent phenotype, wherein the cells emit a luminescent signal in the absence of an exogenous luminescent stimulator. The luminescent signal may be constitutive, inducible, repressible, or tissue-specific. The cells express a synthetically engineered bacterial luciferase (lux) cassette, i.e., the luxCDABEfrp gene cassette. The cells may comprise luxA, luxB, luxC, luxD, luxE, and flavin reductase. The cells may each express a combined expression level of luxC, luxD, luxE, and flavin reductase that is from ten to forty times greater than a combined expression level of luxA and luxB. Further, methods of making and using the cells comprising an autobioluminescent phenotype are disclosed herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2021Publication date: July 15, 2021Inventors: Daniel Close, Steven Ripp, Gary Sayler, Michael Conway
