Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for controlling movement of a desk or table. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include a housing arranged with the desk or table and a lever configured to initiate raising or lowering of the desk in response to a force applied by a user.

A lifting column (3) for a lifting system (2) of a furniture is provided. The lifting column (3) comprises at least two tube portions (4, 5) displaceable with respect to one another like a telescope, a high-voltage direct-current motor (6) and a transmission (7) for transforming a rotational motion into a linear motion, wherein the high-voltage direct-current motor (6) and the transmission (7) are arranged inside at least one of the at least two tube portions (4, 5) displaceable with respect to one another like a telescope.

A table frame for a table has a first column and a second column for supporting a table top, a cross member of hollow profile construction by which the first column and the second column are interconnected with each other and a first cantilever support mounted on the top end of the first column and a second cantilever support mounted on the top end of the second column. The first and the second column each have two projections at respective top ends thereof. The cross member, at each end section thereof, has a pair of oblong holes disposed on its lower side and through which the two projections of the respective column extend into the cross member. Each cantilever support has a first and a second flange which are arranged spaced-apart from one another, each of the flanges abutting the cross member on a lateral side portion thereof.

A height-adjustable table with concealed wiring design is provided herein, which includes table surface, table leg, table foot, driving mechanism, and control device. The table leg is connected between the table surface and the table foot and includes a telescoping tube structure. The driving mechanism includes motor, first threaded rod, and connecting tube. The first threaded rod screwed to one end of the connecting tube and the connecting tube are disposed in the telescoping tube structure. The motor is configured to drive the first threaded rod to alter the length of the telescoping tube structure. The control device includes wiring and a control interface. The wiring is disposed in the telescoping tube structure and spirals around the connecting tube. The wiring transmits power to the driving mechanism and transmits a control signal from control interface to the motor to drive the driving mechanism.

Electrical operating unit comprising a first and a second part, where the two parts can be mutually adjusted. The Operating unit (1) comprises a first part constructed as a housing (2), which contains the electric equipment with at least one electric switch and a second part constructed as a mounting unit (3) for the first part. The two parts are interconnected about a shaft (17), so they can rotate mutually. When the operating unit is mounted the housing (2) will assume a first position, an initial position. By pressing the housing (2) it rotates about the shaft (17) and is brought into a second position, an activation position, where the switch(es) is/are activated in that they are pressed against the second part (3). With this embodiment of the operating unit the piece of furniture can be adjusted in either direction by pressing the housing (2). The housing (2), besides from functioning as a switch, can also be equipped with other switches and displays.

A furniture system with an electrically height-adjustable table which has at least one electrically height-adjustable frame, in particular an electrically height-adjustable table leg, with at least one electric motor via which a height adjustment of the table top is possible, and a motor control device for controlling the at least one electric motor as well as at least one sensor device for temporally detecting a value of at least one motor characteristic of the at least one electric motor, a communication module with a control and evaluation device, which is coupled to the at least one sensor device, for evaluating the values of the at least one motor characteristic, which values are detected by means of the at least one sensor device, with regard to a deviation from a respective motor characteristic reference value, which communication module is coupled to the motor control device via a data connection, and a remote computer, in particular server, preferably with a web interface, which can be connected to the communication module via a data network and has a data storage device as well as means for expanded remote fault diagnosis for the at least one electrically height-adjustable table.

Aspects of dynamic workstation apparatus, methods, and systems are disclosed. One aspect disclosed herein is an apparatus comprising a frame; an equipment support that is operable with the frame to position a piece of exercise equipment at a plurality of different equipment support heights relative to the frame; a work surface that is attachable to the frame and selectively positionable at a plurality of different work surface heights relative to the frame, the plurality of different work surface heights including at least a standing height and a seated height; and an actuator that is attachable to and operable with the frame to move the work surface within a range of movement including the plurality of different work surface heights while maintaining an orientation of the work surface relative to the frame.

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.

A control circuit applied to a lifting platform controls a motor to adjust the height of a platform. The control circuit includes an AC/DC conversion circuit, a DC/DC conversion circuit, a detection unit, and a control unit. The detection unit detects an output end of the AC/DC conversion circuit and provides a detection signal. The control unit provides a PWM signal according to the detection signal to control the DC/DC conversion circuit so that the DC/DC conversion circuit converts a DC voltage to an output voltage. When the control unit realizes that the DC voltage or a DC power provided by the AC/DC conversion circuit is less than a power supply threshold according to the detection signal, the control unit decreases a duty cycle of the PWM signal to maintain the DC voltage or the DC power to be greater than or equal to the power supply threshold.
