  • Patent number: 12000528
    Abstract: The invention is a monitor arm assembly including a rotation limiter that includes movable tabs to set the rotation limits of the arms with respect to each other or other assemblies. The rotation limiter may include exterior ring activators and outer visual references for the set limitations. The monitor arm assembly also includes a plurality of slide tracks to allow the monitor attached to the arm to take a plurality of lateral positions. The assembly may further include a connector to join adjacent slide tracks. The monitor arm assembly may include a double slider arrangement where a first track slides within a second track. A plate for connection to a monitor arm or monitor bracket may slide within perimeter channels of the first track.

  • Publication number: 20240130529
    Abstract: A rail system for a workspace. The system may include at least one mounting mechanism and an elongated rail. Each mounting mechanism is configured for attachment to the rail and configured for attachment to an edge of, or a surface of, a table or desk, so that the mounting mechanism(s) support the rail relative to said surface. The elongated rail is configured to extend horizontally relative to and above the surface of the table or desk. The elongated rail has at least a front surface, a bottom surface/edge, and a back surface, as well as mounting slots. In some instances, a channel (or trough) is defined between the front and back surfaces, which extends between first and second ends of the elongated rail. The rail accommodates placement of electrical cords to/from a power source, for mounting components (e.g., clamps, brackets, release mechanisms) and/or for connecting accessories thereto.

  • Patent number: 11035232
    Abstract: An industrial machine including a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to sense a characteristic of a fluid of the industrial machine. Wherein the characteristic is indicative of a contaminant level. The controller has an electronic processor and a memory. The controller is configured to receive a signal from the sensor indicative of the contaminant level, compare the contaminant level to a threshold, and upon the contaminant level crossing the threshold perform at least one selected from a group consisting of output an alert, and commence a shutdown procedure of the industrial machine.
