MULTI-USE CONFERENCING SPACE, TABLE ARRANGEMENT AND DISPLAY CONFIGURATION
A conferencing assembly, the assembly comprising a first table assembly including (i) a first table top having oppositely facing front and rear edges, (ii) at least a first display screen supported adjacent the rear edge of the first table top, a second table assembly including (i) a second table top having oppositely facing front and rear edges and (ii) at least a second display screen supported adjacent the rear edge of the second table top. The system also includes first and second controls enabling first and second users to selectively take control of one of the first and second displays and to present information from a computer device on a selected one of the first and second displays. The table tops are arranged with front edges facing and spaced apart from each other, and the second display screen is substantially parallel to and facing the first display screen.
CABINET APPARATUS
A cabinet apparatus including a housing having a cavity, a door that closes the cavity, and a support assembly that is coupled to the cabinet assembly. The support assembly may be movable in accordance with several different types of movement. For example, the support assembly may be movable upwardly and downwardly relative to the cabinet assembly along a vertical axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cabinet assembly. The support assembly may be rotatable about a first rotational axis to move a holding component of the support assembly between a stowed position in which the holding component is stored away and a deployed position in which the holding component protrudes from a periphery of the cabinet assembly. The support assembly may be rotatable about a second rotational axis to adjust an angle at which the holding component protrudes from the periphery of the cabinet assembly.
DIGITAL JUKEBOX DEVICE WITH IMPROVED USER INTERFACES, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
Certain exemplary embodiments relate to entertainment systems and, more particularly, to systems that incorporate digital downloading jukebox features and improved user interfaces. For instance, a smart search may be provided, e.g., where search results vary based on the popularity of songs within the venue, in dependence on songs being promoted, etc. As another example, a tile-based approach to organizing groupings of songs is provided. Groupings may involve self-populating collections of songs that combine centrally-promoted songs, songs in a given genre that are popular across an audiovisual distribution network, and songs that are locally popular and match up with the given genre (e.g., because of shared attributes such as same or similar genre, artist, etc.). Different tile visual presentations also are contemplated, as are different physical jukebox designs. In certain example embodiments, a sealed core unit with the “brains” of the jukebox is insertable into a docking station.

SMART WALL
Disclosed herein is a smart wall including a frame structure including a mounting cell, an electronic appliance disposed in the mounting cell, a first moving art wall positioned in front of the mounting cell and configured to move in a thickness direction, a second moving art wall positioned in front of the mounting cell and configured to move in a vertical direction, a horizontal driver configured to drive the first moving art wall, and a vertical driver configured to drive the second moving art wall. The smart wall may be equipped with multimedia devices, such as a display device and an audio devices, and household appliances, such as an air cleaner and a humidifier, on a wall, thereby minimizing the exposure of the home appliances.
RECORD HOLDER SYSTEM AND METHOD
A record holder system includes a frame of two ends and two sides, a fixed end attached to one of the ends of the frame, and a selectively adjustable end slidably connected to the frame. The frame connects to a track. The adjustable end includes a clamp that engages the track to retain the adjustable end in select position along the track. A handle connects to the clamp. The handle is manually pressed to disengage the clamp from the track, thereby allowing the adjustable end to be varied in relative position with respect to the fixed end. Records or other items may be stacked upright and retained in the system.
