  • Patent number: 12183306
    Abstract: Systems and methods permit or cause content to be displayed by a plurality of gaming displays, such as gaming machine displays and/or external displays. Content may be synchronously displayed by multiple gaming displays, such as one or more EGM displays and one or more external gaming displays, where the content which is displayed by the different displays may be the same or be different, and may be provided by a content controller and/or may be provided or triggered by a gaming machine. The systems and methods permit or cause content to be synchronously displayed across multiple gaming displays, such as in time and/or space. In some examples, the content is configured as a content “package” which is associated with one or more displays.

  • Publication number: 20240407922
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to transcatheter stented prosthesis delivery devices including a handle assembly connected to a shaft assembly on which a stented prosthesis is loaded and compressively retained with a plurality of elongate tension members. The delivery devices include a cutting assembly that can sever the elongate tension members after the stented prosthesis is expanded at a target site so that the delivery device can be withdrawn from the patient. Certain embodiments position the cutting assembly at least within the shaft assembly and others position the cutting assembly over the shaft assembly. Various disclosed cutting assemblies are actuated with the handle assembly or the like, which draw the tension members across the blade or vice versa.

  • Publication number: 20210065124
    Abstract: An online system server determines changes in employment stages for the employees of an organization, where the organization may have multiple employees. The online system server may store employee record in an employment history database, and implement an employment history database schema facilitate the determination of the employment movement. The employment history database schema may define that the rows of an employee history database table includes pointers, where the pointers indicate a prior employer or a subsequent employer. Using formulated queries with the employment history database schema, the online system server allows an organization to more accurately log the changes in employment stages for the employees of the organization.
