Systems and methods for controlling an interactive workstation based on biometric input
Systems and methods are disclosed for moving a tabletop of a workstation based on biometric input associated with a user, the method being performed by a controller that is configured to send control signals to actuators to move the tabletop. One method includes: accessing a user profile associated with a user device; determining parameters for moving the tabletop, based on the user profile, for eliciting desired biometric inputs from the workstation user at one or more times during the movement of the tabletop; and repeating one or more iterations of: moving the tabletop based on the parameters, by sending control signals to the actuators of the tabletop; receiving, into a data storage device, actual biometric inputs from the workstation user; comparing the received actual biometric inputs with the desired biometric inputs; and if the parameters do not elicit the desired biometric inputs, adjusting the parameters.
Reconfigurable work station, work space, and work space system
A reconfigurable work station includes a work surface supported atop a pedestal and base. A linkage arm is affixed to the base or pedestal at a first end and pivotally connected to a fixed member at a second end. The work station can pivot, with the linkage arm, about the fixed member to be selectively positioned in multiple positions. The pedestal may be height adjustable and the work surface may be rotatable atop the pedestal. Alternatively, the work station can include two pedestals and the linkage arm can be rotatably connected to one of the pedestals to rotate the work station, as well as to pivot the work station about the fixed member. A work space includes the work station and at least one wall panel, and a work space system includes multiple work spaces. Work stations within respective work spaces can be selectively positioned in focused or collaborative configurations.

Adjustable multidimensional jigsaw puzzle table
A table dedicated to facilitating the comfort, efficacy, and enjoyment of assembling a jigsaw puzzle which may be adjusted for height, tabletop tilt angle and tabletop rotation, and location. The table has a specialized surface to hold the puzzle pieces in place, an accessory bracket to add accessories such as trays, puzzle box top holder, magnifying glass and other implements to enhance the assembly experience. Trays for sorting puzzle pieces may be attached and detached from a specialized bracket mounted on a support structure. The tabletop may be positioned high enough to be used while standing upright. The use of this table apparatus for other activities is anticipated.

Under-bed storage unit
An under-bed storage unit is disclosed in which a freestanding structure is disposed under a bed frame and bears a generally circular platform thereon. The platform has a cut edge configured to be flush with the margin of the bedframe so that when the platform is not in use, it does not extend beyond the bed frame and is therefore out of the way. However, upon rotation, the arc of the circular platform is exposed and the stored contents of the platform are visible and accessible. The platform is rotated until the desired stored item is located and is then returned to its stored position. A number of variations of under-bed storage units utilizing freestanding supports, platforms of various sizes and shapes, structural and aesthetic platform feature, and associated support structures are also disclosed.
