An actuated, height adjustable optical table or workstation for use in microscopy, optical research laboratories and similar environments includes fixed and moving parts which combine to create a rigid, height adjustable table structure on which to mount an optical breadboard or similar platforms via optional passive or active vibration isolation mounts. The height adjustment is performed by multiple compact actuators with associated control hardware and software, and allows the user or an application system to perform activities with the table at any heights.

The height adjustment is performed by multiple compact actuators with associated control hardware and software, and allows the user or an application system to perform activities with the table at any heights.

An automatic height adjustment system includes an adjustable desk frame, a first drive assembly operable to control a height of the adjustable desk frame, an adjustable monitor mount, a second drive assembly operable to control a viewing height of the adjustable monitor mount, a transceiver, and a first controller communicatively coupled to the first drive assembly and to the transceiver. The first controller is configured to receive, via the transceiver, a first communication based on the detection of a position of a user from a computing device and to transmit, via the transceiver, a second communication to the first drive assembly to control the height of the adjustable desk frame and movement of the adjustable desk frame and the adjustable monitor mount are synchronized such that an adjustment of the height of the adjustable desk frame causes a corresponding adjustment of the viewing height of the adjustable monitor mount.

A convertible briefcase, which has a first operative orientation in which it functions as a briefcase, and a second operative orientation in which it functions as a SINGLE leg supported workstation/workstation. The singular telescopic support structure is housed within the Base Portion of the Briefcase. In a converted, workstation operative orientation, the single telescopic extendable and retractable leg support structures are in an extended mode perpendicularly away from the Briefcase to support the Briefcase on a support surface, such as a floor or any other base surface. The telescopic leg has wheels on its base, a locking mechanism to lock the leg at the desired height, and the ability to extend out to over three feet in height. The Briefcase having two UBS charging port, a rechargeable battery, a cup holder, a phone holder, Bluetooth speakers, a chair, a voice-activated digital assistant application, and an extendable and retractable workstation top.

A convertible Backpack/bookbag, which has a first operative orientation in which it functions as a Backpack/bookbag, and a second operative orientation in which it functions as a SINGLE leg supported workstation/desk. The singular telescopic support structure is housed within the Base Portion of the Backpack/bookbag. In a converted workstation/desk operative orientation, the single telescopic leg support structures are in an extended mode perpendicularly away from the Backpack/bookbag to support the Backpack/bookbag on surfaces like a floor or other base surface. The telescopic leg has wheels on its base, a locking mechanism to lock the leg at a desired height, and the ability to extend to over three feet in height. The Backpack/bookbag having two UBS charging ports, a rechargeable battery, a cup holder, a phone holder, Bluetooth speakers, a chair, a voice-activated digital assistant application, an extendable and retractable desktop, detachable shoulder straps, a detachable Front and Base portion.

A convertible Laptop bag, which has a first operative orientation in which it functions as a laptop bag, and a second operative orientation in which it functions as a SINGLE leg supported workstation/desk. The singular telescopic support structure is housed within the Base Portion of the Laptop bag. In a converted workstation/desk operative orientation, the single telescopic extendable and retractable leg support structures are in an extended mode perpendicularly away from the Laptop bag to support the Laptop bag on a support surface, such as a floor or any other base surface. The telescopic leg has wheels on its base, a locking mechanism to lock the leg at the desired height, and the ability to extend out to over three feet in height. The laptop bag having two UBS charging ports, a rechargeable battery, an AC outlet, a cup holder, a phone holder, Bluetooth speakers, a chair, a voice-activated, digital assistant application.

A cable management structure applied in a table is disclosed. A revolving column has a first end and a second end. A pair of revolving rollers are disposed in the revolving column and includes a first revolving roller and a second revolving roller arranged spacedly. A pair of supporting columns include a first supporting column forming a first sleeve segment and a second supporting column forming a second sleeve segment. A pair of adjusting rollers include a first and a second adjusting roller disposed in the first sleeve segment and in the second sleeve segment. A cable penetrates the first supporting column and passes around the first adjusting roller, and revolves to the first revolving roller, and passes around the first revolving roller and passes around the second adjusting roller, and revolves to the second revolving roller so as to turn and penetrate into the second supporting column.

A method of registering users in the ambient area of a workstation includes establishing a wireless communication link between an electronic workspace module positioned at a workstation and a mobile device and registering the entry of the mobile device into the ambient area of the workspace module by evaluating the signal characteristics of the communication link between the workspace module and the mobile device.

Disclosed are mobile battery powered workstations, methods of operating these workstations to increase warehouse and retail efficiency (through improved order fulfillment, as a mobile shipping & receiving station, mobile inventory management, and/or as mobile powered quality analysis stations), and methods of calculating remaining battery runtime for these workstations. A mobile battery powered workstation may comprise a wheeled base having a modular battery power bay, an upper workstation having a monitor, a computer, a printer, and at least one adjustable height column coupling the wheeled base to the upper workstation. The workstation may also include a glass overlay display positioned on a top surface of the upper workstation area and configured to provide order fulfillment employees with haptic feedback on remaining battery runtime, calculated via an algorithm for increased accuracy. These workstations may be used in warehouses and retail operations for order picking and fulfillment, shipping and receiving tasks, etc.
