Modular units for forming structures, such as furniture assemblies or other structures. The modular units being interconnectable by magnetic connectors that have a cage with an end cap, and a bridge connected to the cage and spaced from the end cap to define a magnet void in the cage between the end cap and the bridge. A magnet is movably positioned within void, and a magnetic mass is coupled to the cage with the bridge is between the mass and the magnet. The magnet is movable in the cage void between a shielded position held against the bridge by a first magnetic attraction between the magnet and the mass, and a locked position held against the end cap by a second magnetic attraction that is greater than the first magnetic attraction.

A method of allocating radio resources for uplink transmissions in a wireless telecommunications system, the method including: a first terminal device communicating a request for an allocation of radio resources to a base station; the base station determining there is an association between the first terminal device and a second terminal device based on their having similar predicted traffic profiles for uplink data; and the base station establishing a radio resource allocation for the second terminal device based on the resources requested by the first terminal device, and consequently transmitting radio resource allocation messages to allocate radio resources to the first and the second terminal devices for respective uplink transmissions based on the request for an allocation of radio resources received from the first terminal device.

Three-dimensional structure is provided that includes an internal structure and an external structure configured to receive the internal structure. The internal structure includes a plurality of walls forming an accommodation opening and a magnetic element configured to be affixed or located within on the plurality of walls. The external structure includes a set of two surfaces having a first configuration of protrusions where the two of two surfaces are adjoining. Another set of two surfaces have a second configuration of protrusions, where the surfaces form at least one opening configured to allow insertion and removal of the internal structure. The set of two surfaces and the another set of two surfaces are configured for mating engagement with another external structure having substantially the same configurations, where the first configuration and the second configuration are configured to couple to each other.

In accordance with an embodiment, a hybrid modular furniture and container unit includes a base shell, a base core layer, and a set of base inner panels. The base shell has a shell bottom, a first shell wall, a second shell wall, a third shell wall, a fourth shell wall, and upper flaps associated with each of the respective walls. The base core layer has a core bottom, a first core wall, a second core wall, a third core wall, and a fourth core wall. The core layer is disposed within the base shell. The base inner panels include a first inner panel wall, a second inner panel wall, a third inner panel wall, and a fourth inner panel wall. The inner panel walls disposed within the shell and each upper flap is folded over a respective core wall and inner panel wall.

A stand-alone display case module is provided. Each display case module has a first modular connector and a second modular connector mounted to opposing vertical walls, wherein a rod member may slidably engage the nesting of the first modular connector of one display case module and the second modular connector of another display case module so as to form a pivotal modular connection between at least two adjacent display case modules, and wherein the adjacent display case modules are pivotably connected in horizontal and/or vertically stacked configurations.

A furniture assembly system that includes a first furniture assembly, a casegood furniture assembly, and a coupler, the coupler selectively connecting the first furniture assembly and the casegood furniture assembly.

A modular cabinet assembly includes a first cubby element having a box shaped configuration and bounding a first compartment, the first cubby element having a front face extending between a first side and an opposing second side and encircling an opening to the first compartment. A second cubby element is similarly configured. The cubby elements can be stacked, or positioned side-by-side. A removable clip can secure the first cubby element to the second cubby element. In an embodiment, various cubby elements, of related widths can be provided, e.g., a first cubby element of width (x), a second cubby element of width (2), a third cubby element of width (3), and/or a fourth cubby element of width (1.5). An embodiment can include a false back defining a hidden cavity and/or stacking brackets, for securely stacking cubby elements.

A modular tile adapted for mounting onto a flat surface, comprising an edge connector; an edge receiver configured to accommodate the connector; and a plurality of flat units, wherein each unit comprises a central opening with two dimensions with a first dimension smaller than a second dimension. The modular tiles are connected by releasably securing an edge connector of a first modular tile to an edge receiver of a second modular tile.

A multi-cube room organizer which may be easily and rapidly assembled using different panels and different fastener types.

A folding storage cabinet is provided. The folding storage cabinet includes a back plate, two folding side plates, a frame, a bottom plate, and a top plate. Left and right sides of the back plate are respectively pivoted with one side of each of the two folding side plates, and the other side of each of the two folding side plates are pivoted with two sides of the frame. The folding side plates are capable of being bent to folded, such that the back plate may be close to the frame after the two folding side plates are folded, and the top plate and the bottom plate are respectively pivoted with the top portion and bottom portion of the back plate. The top plate and the bottom plate may be opened and closed relative to the back plate.
