  • Patent number: 11738597
    Abstract: An electronic gaming machine includes a cabinet and a pair of retractable wheel assemblies mechanically coupled to the cabinet. Each retractable wheel assembly includes a first retractable wheel and a second retractable wheel. The first retractable wheel and the second retractable wheel of each retractable wheel assembly are movable, independently of one another, between a retracted position, in which the pair of retractable wheel assemblies allow the cabinet to contact an external surface, and an extended position, in which the pair of retractable wheel assemblies support the cabinet above the external surface.

  • Publication number: 20230062587
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to embodiments of a kiosk including a chassis having a patient compartment and a medication compartment. A patient does not have access to the medication compartment in the patient compartment. A dispense structure extends from the patient compartment to the medication compartment such that a dosage of medication may be dispensed to the patient when within the patient compartment. After the medication is dispensed to the patient, a medical professional observes the patient ingest the medication through a video conference display within the patient compartment. A biometric scanner may be in electrical communication with a lock in mechanical cooperation with a door hingedly coupled to the chassis to limit access to the medication compartment. An insulated safe with an internal chamber wherein the internal chamber's temperature is regulated.

  • Patent number: 11298978
    Abstract: An electronic gaming machine includes a cabinet and a pair of retractable wheel assemblies mechanically coupled to the cabinet. Each retractable wheel assembly includes an elongated structural member including an upper receiving surface and first and second inverted U-shaped portions depending from the upper receiving surface, a first pusher plate pivotably coupled to the first inverted U-shaped portion, a second pusher plate pivotably coupled to the second inverted U-shaped portion, a first retractable wheel mechanically coupled to the first pusher plate, and a second retractable wheel mechanically coupled to the second pusher plate. The first retractable wheel and the second retractable wheel are movable between a retracted position, in which the pair of retractable wheel assemblies allow the cabinet to contact an external surface, and an extended position, in which the pair of retractable wheel assemblies support the cabinet above the external surface.

  • Patent number: 10780739
    Abstract: An electronic gaming machine includes a cabinet having an internal frame and a pair of retractable wheel assemblies mechanically coupled to the internal frame. Each retractable wheel assembly includes a first retractable wheel, and a second retractable wheel. The first retractable wheel and the second retractable wheel are movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The first and second retractable wheels of each of the pair of retractable wheel assemblies support the cabinet above an external surface when each are in the extended position, thereby facilitating movement of the cabinet across the external surface. Further, the first and second retractable wheels of each of the pair of retractable wheel assemblies allow the cabinet to contact the external surface when each are in the retracted position.

  • Patent number: 10138610
    Abstract: A process for forming an artificial reef includes forming a form having a geometric shape, applying at least one blockout onto a surface of the form such that the blockout extends outwardly of the surface of the form, applying a sprayable concrete over the form and over a portion of the blockout, curing the sprayable concrete on the form for a period of time so that the sprayable concrete adheres to the blockout, and removing the cured sprayable concrete and the adhered blockout together from the surface of the form. The sprayable concrete is applied over the form until the depth of the sprayable concrete is approximately equal to a depth of the blockout. The blockout is a cinder block.

  • Publication number: 20020083134
    Abstract: A dynamic collaborative-browsing system enables client programs connected to a computer network to join and leave groups or sessions, to collaboratively browse together as a session, to communicate with other client programs in the session. Each client program in the session may act as a session leader, or may just follow a session leader as it browses network sites of the computer network. The system includes client programs, typically executing on client computers and server software, typically executing on one or more main servers. Network servers, such as Web servers, host a number of network sites each having a location or uniform resource locator (URL). The main server groups into server-defined cells.
