A method of operating a desk including receiving, at a desk controller, a message from a chair, and determining a position of a user based on the message. The message includes an indication of a sensed rotation of the chair. The method also includes generating, via the desk controller, a control signal for a motor based on the position of the user. The motor is coupled to a support framework of the desk. The method further includes changing a height of the support framework of the desk according to the control signal.

Aspects of dynamic workstation apparatus, methods, and systems are described. One aspect is a workstation apparatus that includes a frame including overhead frame elements defining a covered workspace. The apparatus may include a raisable and lowerable work surface that may be configured to be movably attached to the overhead frame elements and may be selectively positionable in the covered workspace at a plurality of different vertical heights including a standing height and a floor height. A first actuator may be attached to and operable with the frame to move the raisable and lowerable work surface between a range of movement including the standing height and the floor height while maintaining an orientation of the raisable and lowerable work surface relative to the frame such that the raisable and lowerable work surface may remain relatively level. Aspects of related methods and systems also are described.

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for controlling positioning of a desk. An exemplary apparatus includes a tabletop, expandable legs, motors, position sensors, a processor, and a memory configured to store instructions. The motors alter a length of one of the expandable legs. The position sensors identify current position of each of the plurality of expandable legs. The instructions cause the processor to receive a sensor signal, a communication signal, or a command signal, receive the identified current position of one or more of the expandable legs, determine a projected length value for the one or more expandable legs responsive to the received sensor signal, the communication signal, or the command signal, and command one or more of the plurality of motors based on the projected length value for the one or more expandable legs and the identified current position of the one or more expandable legs.

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to identify a context associated with a user and to alter a height of an electronic desk based on the context.

The invention relates to an electric motor-driven furniture drive mechanism (4) for adjusting moveable components of an item of furniture (1), in particular functional furniture, comprising at least one electric motor-driven adjustment drive mechanism (4a, 4b) having a control device (5) and at least one operating device (6), a monitoring device (7) having at least one detection device (10) for monitoring at least one monitoring region (9) and forming an anti-trap protection system for the associated item of furniture (1). The electric motor-driven furniture drive mechanism (4) is characterised in that the at least one detection device (10) has at least one sensor unit (11) which is in the form of or comprises a piezo cable. The invention also relates to an item of furniture having an electric motor-driven furniture drive mechanism (4).

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.

The present application relates to a height-adjustable table including a table plate. a table leg is fixedly connected to a side surface of the table plate, two brackets are arranged oppositely on the side surface of the table plate, and a retaining plate is fixedly connected to opposite inner sides of the two brackets, respectively. A control box is provided, a retaining clip is fixedly connected to the control box, and the retaining clip is detachably connected to the retaining plate.

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.

The present disclosure relates to a table top, a leg and a worktable comprising a table top and legs. The table top has a honeycomb structure which extends along a main extension plane of the table top, with one or more areas being cut out from the honeycomb structure in accordance with a predetermined layout for receiving electrical and/or mechanical components. The leg has one or more decorative elements each having an areal main extension, the one or more decorative elements extending along their areal main dimensions over at least part of the surface of the leg and being fixed to the leg. Further, a worktable having such a table top and such a leg is described. A system comprising a worktable with a table top and legs of this type as well as a packaging for packing the worktable is also described.
