In some embodiments, the body can be configured to bend about the elongated recesses to different configurations. A plurality of stand elements can be connected to the bottom of the body to permit the body to be free standing. In other embodiments, a plurality of connectors can be connected to the body for connecting the body to an article of furniture, such as a tabletop or a desktop.

A partition assembly for subdividing a floor plan area that includes a beam assembly including a beam member including an upper wall, a pair of side walls, a bottom wall, first and second ends, and a pair of channels extending between the first and second ends, each of the channels positioned closer to one of the pair of side walls than to a longitudinally-extending center line of the beam member, a lower frame member located below the beam member, and vertical frame members extending between the beam member and the lower frame member, a work tool positioned above the beam assembly, and a connector assembly connecting the work tool to the beam assembly, where the connector assembly is coupled to the work tool and engages the pair of channels of the beam member.

Systems, methods and devices for use with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). A central controller is coupled to the autopilot system for a UAV. Navigation is implemented by using two GPS antennas and obtaining a difference between the locations from these two antenna to arrive at a high precision bearing or direction of travel. This single GPS derived bearing is used to trigger all the various subsystems on the UAV for imaging or mapping. Areas and locations to be mapped and imaged are determined by geolocation and mapping and imaging equipment are triggered based on the single GPS signal derived from the two GPS antennas. To reduce vibration effects on navigational and imaging or mapping equipment, these are positioned as close as possible to the vehicle's center of gravity and are deployed in a shielded box on vibration isolation mounts.

A modular panel system including a plurality of posts where each post includes a front face, a rear face, and opposed lateral faces. A central channel is formed in the front face where the central channel has a linking opening, a first ledge and a second ledge. Cutouts are formed in the ledges. The rear face includes a panel receiving channel that receives an edge of a panel. A linking element is configured to be secured in the linking opening. The head of the linking element is sized to fit within the first and the second cutouts and be secured by the first and second ledges to couple the first post to the second post. The lateral faces of the coupled posts together form a first side central channel and a first side central channel cutout that is configured to receive a second linking element to couple a third post to the coupled first and second posts.

A pedestal for supporting a partition and a method for a partition. The pedestal includes a base for mounting onto a floor, the base having a peripheral outer surface. The pedestal also includes a body having a first end opposite a second end and an inner surface proximate the first end interfacing with the base peripheral outer surface. A cap is coupled to the body proximate the second end, and a bracket is coupled to the cap for coupling with a partition. The method includes connecting a base to a floor, coupling a body of to the base, coupling a sleeve to the base on which is coupled a bracket, and coupling the partition to the bracket.

A metal fabric (10) uses warp metal wires (40) as the warp, and weft metal wires (50) as the weft, where the warp metal wires (40) and the weft metal wires (50) are composed of different metal materials. A curtain (100) as an interior decoration uses the metal fabric (10). A partition member (200) is configured to have the metal fabric (10) and a frame (210) which supports the outer circumference of the metal fabric (10). A clothing is configured to contain the metal fabric (10), and an electromagnetic shielding member is configured to contain the metal fabric (10).

An innovative, low-density, highly-insulating modular panel for use in many applications and industries. The panel has a frame that may be preformed or bent and may be made of rigid or flexible material, and a panel covering comprising at least one pocket of thin, low-density shade fabric that has the capability of sufficiently stretching to surround the frame when the pocket is pulled onto it. The pocket may be then secured, along any previously open end where the frame was inserted, by various fastening devices. The panel covering pocket may have additional features added, as described herein. The panel is durable and cost-effective, and has good solar-control and insulating qualities. It is also a windbreak panel, a noise-reduction panel, an impact protection panel, a water-resistant panel, a fall protection panel, and a pollution-control panel. Two or more panels can be joined to create a structure-protecting panel assembly or system.

A wall segment is stood upon a surface by first positioning a curved wall segment upon the surface. The wall segment has a lower ground contacting surface, an upper surface opposite the lower ground contacting surface, left and a right side surfaces each extending from the lower surface to the upper surface, one or more panels, and a curved frame including at least one frame segment sized and dimensioned to retain a panel, the frame defining a curved outer periphery where the segment contacts the surface. A vessel is positioned proximate the curved frame, the vessel being shaped to conform and nest into the curvature of the outer periphery of the frame where the segment contacts the surface. The vessel is attached to the frame, and weight is added to the vessel.

An acoustic tile used for a modular wall system includes a substrate layer having a plurality of holes that extend at least partially through the substrate layer, and a veneer layer having a plurality of microholes extending at least partially therethrough. The two layers are attached together and configured for attachment to a frame of a modular wall system such that they provide desired acoustic properties to the modular wall system.

Implementations of the present invention relate to apparatuses, systems, and methods for constructing and installing architectural walls that are secured to a floor and/or a ceiling and include one or more leveling mechanisms. The leveling mechanisms may allow the architectural wall to be selectively adjusted vertically relative to the floor and/or ceiling so that a horizontal positioning of the wall may be achieved. The leveling mechanisms may also allow the architectural wall to fit securely to a floor and/or ceiling.
