A bamboo seat and a bamboo stool are provided. The bamboo seat includes two side frames and bamboo piece components. The two side frames are spaced apart and are arranged from left to right. Each of the side frames extends from front to rear. Mortises are defined on an inner side surface of each of the side frames. The mortises defined on each of the side frames are arranged at intervals from front to rear. The bamboo piece components are arranged at intervals from front to rear. A gap is formed between every two adjacent bamboo piece components. Two ends of each of the bamboo piece components are respectively inserted into corresponding mortises on the two side frames to be tightly matched and fixed to the side frames. Each of the bamboo piece components is formed by stacking at least three bamboo pieces.

The welding Wood Creeper Recliner is designed for the welding field, focusing on the overhead welding. This creeper comprise on the frame, the back-receiving and the sitting part which are made of wood allowing the use of the electric equipment without the risk of electrocution as would be with metal material. The frame it is the base of the creeper, the seating-part it is mounted on top of the frame which it is elevated to prevent the user to slide forward and the back-receiving has a reclining mechanic system designed to lounge to seven position depending on height of the project. Additionally this wood creeper has a four caster wheels allowing the user to move without stopping the welding procedure.

A chair assembly includes a seat support structure, a back support structure, a back tensioning assembly adjustable between low and high tension positions, an actuator assembly adapted to adjust the back tensioning assembly between the low and high tension positions, a control input assembly actuable by rotating the portion of the control input assembly, and a control link assembly operably coupling the control input assembly with the actuator assembly to adjust the back tensioning assembly between the low and high tension positions upon rotation of the portion of the control assembly by a seated user, wherein a number of rotations of the portion of the control input assembly is not limited by the control link.

The present invention provides a bidirectional energy-transfer system comprising: a thermally and/or electrically conductive concrete, disposed in a structural object; a location of energy supply or demand that is physically isolated from, but in thermodynamic and/or electromagnetic communication with, the thermally and/or electrically conductive concrete; and a means of transferring energy between the structural object and the location of energy supply or demand. The system can be a single node in a neural network. The thermally and/or electrically conductive concrete includes a conductive, shock-absorbing material, such as graphite. Preferred compositions are disclosed for the thermally and/or electrically conductive concrete. The bidirectional energy-transfer system may be present in a solar-energy collection system, a grade beam, an indoor radiant flooring system, a structural wall or ceiling, a bridge, a roadway, a driveway, a parking lot, a commercial aviation runway, a military runway, a grain silo, or pavers, for example.

A table can be made entirely from tempered glass. Structural components including the table top, end pieces, and a stabilizing cross piece can be made from glass. Glass connectors can be used to attach the structural components. The structural components of the table can be shaped to provide shapes that can become an integral part of the design. Rubber feet can be used to protect the glass and floors. The glass can be printed using a high temperature printing process to provide visual appeal to the overall design. The table can be particularly suited to outdoor use due to its durability and ease of cleaning. The table can also incorporate bent tempered glass to provide strength and alternative design options.

A portable seat that is compact for storage and could be easily carried by a user. The portable seat can be switched to a functional state that allows the user to sit at ground level while supporting a back of the user. The portable seat includes a base that has a proximal portion and a distal portion. A longitudinal cut divides the distal portion into a left section and a right section, wherein each of the left section and the right section can flex upwards or downwards, and the left section and the right sections can be pulled towards each other in an overlapping manner. Suitable fasteners can retain the distal portion in the overlapping manner. The distal portion in the overlapping manner is contoured upwards to support the back of the user.

A sofa belonging to a technical field of household sofas and being simple in assembly and disassembly and suitable for small dwelling-size apartment is provided. The sofa includes a bottom box, two groups of wing-type armrests, a backrest, two groups of seat cushions, and two groups of backrest cushions. The two groups of the wing-type armrests expand outward and are symmetrically connected to side walls of the bottom box. The backrest is connected to the two groups of the wing-type armrests. The two groups of the seat cushions are disposed on the bottom box. The two groups of the backrest cushions abut against the backrest. Bottom sides of the two groups of the backrest cushions abut against upper surfaces of the two groups of the seat cushions.

A process (1) for producing an article (2) from a plant-based material (3) includes providing (4) genetically modified microorganisms (5) in which the genetic modification (12) results in overexpression of at least one adhesive protein (6); mixing (7), preferably blending, of the plant-based material (3) with the genetically modified microorganisms (5), which are preferably held in a culture medium (11), to obtain a mixture (8); expressing of the adhesive protein (6); and hardening (10) of the mixture (8).

The present invention relates to a kit for items of furniture, consisting of at least one bearing trestle (2, 8, 9, 10, 19, 20, 25) and at least two bearing struts (1, 14, 15, 16, 17), wherein the bearing trestle (2, 8, 9, 10, 19, 20, 25) and the bearing struts (1, 14, 15, 16, 17) are formed from laminar foldable materials, wherein the bearing trestle (2, 8, 9, 10, 19, 20, 25) has slots (3) in the bearing area (5) for inserting the bearing struts (1, 14, 15, 16, 17), and wherein the bearing struts (1, 14, 15, 16, 17) are insertable in folded form into the slots (3), wherein the bearing struts (1, 14, 15, 16, 17) has at least one folding mark (6) in longitudinal direction, along which the bearing strut (1, 14, 15, 16, 17) can be folded by up to 180.
