HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE PLATFORMS AND ASSOCIATED MECHANISMS
A mobile workstation can include a head unit assembly. A worksurface can be coupled to the head unit assembly and configured to translate with respect to the head unit assembly between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A glide can be rotatably coupled to the head unit assembly and engaged with the worksurface. The glide can include a latch configured to translate with respect to a glide body of the glide. The mobile workstation can include a worksurface opening mechanism having a locking configuration and an unlocking configuration. The worksurface opening mechanism can include a latch release handle moveably coupled to the head unit assembly. Movement of the latch release handle can transition the worksurface opening mechanism between the locked configuration and the unlocked configuration. A release assembly can selectively engage with the first latch. A lift system can bias the worksurface away from the head unit assembly.
Height-Adjustable Table
In a table having a height-adjustable table top and supporting structures, the table top is secured on the supporting structures so that the supporting structures support the table top. The supporting structures are placeable on a floor. The table includes at least one band which connects the supporting structures and the table top to each other, so that the table top is supported by the supporting structures in that it hangs at the supporting structures with the aid of the band. The table according to the invention permits a simple, convenient, quick and precise adjustment of the height of the table top according to the needs of the respective user of the table.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED OPERATION OF MOVEABLE ROBOTIC ELEMENTS
Embodiments of this application describe improved techniques for operating moveable furniture items. The techniques can include configuring a moveable furniture item such that it will not pivot of tip over during normal operating conditions. The techniques can also include certain passive safety features, such as selecting components that experience a fail condition if a certain threshold condition is reached. In some embodiments, the furniture item can be programmed to operate in various modes, desirable in certain circumstances. The techniques described herein can improve both the functionality and the safety of moveable furniture items.

Display positioning apparatus and method
An apparatus for positioning an electronic display can be combined with an existing work surface to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases, the apparatus includes a mounting portion configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The mounting portion may be movable with respect to the work surface between multiple positions, including for example, a sitting position and a standing position.
Height adjustable stand and a table comprising the same
Disclosed is a height adjustable stand for supporting an object, such as a table leaf or a camera. The invention also relates to a table including the stand. The stand includes at least a first leg, at least a first locking device and at least a first central operating device including at least a first elongated operating element that is arranged to allow the first locking device to be transferred from a locked resting state to an unlocked state in which the height of the stand is adjustable. The construction of the stand is lean and robust allowing height adjustment and stable positioning of the stand and thereby the table, even on uneven supporting surfaces simultaneously. User comfort is improved as precious time can be saved especially when installing multiple stands or tables.

WORKSTATION HEIGHT-ADJUSTMENT MONITORING
A workstation including a height-adjustable work surface is described. The workstation includes a frame, and the work surface is configured to translate relative to the frame to vary a height of the work surface. A lift assembly configured to assist translation of the work surface relative to the frame. The lift assembly includes a moveable component and translation of the moveable component results in a translation of the work surface relative to the frame. A translation sensor is coupled to one of the frame or the movable component, and it is configured to measure translation of the moveable component relative to the frame. A control circuit is in communication with the translation sensor to determine an amount of translation of the work surface relative to the frame.
