This invention is a foldable buffet station comprising supporting legs and a countertop frame mounted on upper ends of the supporting legs. The supporting legs comprise two sets of supporting panels on left and right sides. Each set of the supporting panels comprises a front supporting panel and a rear supporting panel which are rotationally connected. The countertop frame comprises a front beam, a rear beam, and two left and right side beams which form a rectangular frame. The two left and right side beams are respectively fixed at upper ends of the two rear supporting panels on left and right sides. The rear beam is detachably fixed at upper ends of the two back side supporting panels. The front beam is fixed at upper ends of the two front side supporting panels. When it is necessary to fold the buffet cart, the cooking module on the countertop frame is removed first, and then the rear beam is removed; since the front supporting panels and the rear supporting panels are rotationally connected, pushing the two rear supporting panels at this time results in rotation and folding, and the side beams follow the corresponding supporting panels to rotate. As a result, the occupying space of the entire buffet cart can be greatly reduced, which is convenient for transportation and storage.

The disclosure relates to a table (100). The table (100) has a table top (102), a plurality of legs (104) connectable to the table top (102), and an air purifier (106) adapted to be placed below the table top (102). A bottom side of the table top (102) is provided with at least one groove (112) extending in a circumferential direction for preventing liquid from traveling from an outer edge of the table top (102) along the bottom side of the table top (102) and reaching an inner section of the air purifier (106). The disclosure also relates to a method for purifying air using a table (100).

Some implementations of a table system can include a protective member that is positionable below a table to provide protection to both a table and chairs. The protective member can extend lateral beyond a peripheral edge of the table top, for example, to protect the table and accessory furniture while allowing the table top and the peripheral edge of the table top to remain exposed.

The present invention provides an improved table structure, which comprises: a central post, formed as a straight post and composed by plural insertion posts, the top thereof is formed with a head portion, and a power cable is provided inside the central post for being connected to a power source; a table stand, installed at the bottom of the central post, formed in a gradually expanded state; a first layer of table surface, fastened at a proper location on the central post, the center thereof is formed with a through hole; and at least two layers of rotary plates, respectively installed at the portion of the central post defined above the first layer of table surface and at a proper location on the central post defined above the lower layer of rotary plate, the center thereof is formed with a through hole corresponding to the insertion post.

This invention provides a multifunctional lifting table, and the multifunctional lifting table includes a tabletop, an outer frame, an inner frame, and a lifting mechanism. The tabletop includes a tabletop main body and a solar panel, and the solar panel is embedded into the tabletop main body. The solar panel has at least one output interface, and the output interface is located at one side of the tabletop main body. The inner frame supports the tabletop, the outer frame has a containing space therein, and the inner frame is embedded into the containing space of the outer frame. The lifting mechanism is connected with the inner frame and the outer frame, and the lifting mechanism drives the inner frame to rise from the outer frame or to lower the inner frame and allow the inner frame to be hidden inside the outer frame.

A system for magnetically securing an electronics enclosure proximate a surface of a separate structure. The system includes a mounting apparatus that has a first surface, a second surface, and an interface structure that is constructed and arranged to allow the mounting apparatus to be secured to the surface of the separate structure, with the first surface of the mounting apparatus closer to the surface of the separate structure than is the second surface of the mounting apparatus. One or more magnets are fixed to one or both of the mounting apparatus and the electronics enclosure such that the one or more magnets are arranged to magnetically couple the electronics enclosure to the mounting apparatus.

A motorized extendable table having a tabletop assembly, first and second extension assemblies, a frame assembly, first and second extension frame assemblies, a motor housing, a computer assembly, a motor assembly, and a base assembly. In operation, the motor assembly moves the extension frame assemblies from a retracted to an extended configuration. Before reaching a fully extended configuration, the extension assemblies are raised to a same plane as that of the tabletop assembly. To go from the extended to the retracted configuration, the motor assembly moves the system in an opposite direction, moving the extension frame assemblies down and back onto a lower plane. Extension frame assemblies continue moving back until the fully retracted configuration is reached.

A main control board is disposed in an accommodation space, is connected to an interactive display portion, and controls at least the interactive display portion. A power supply board is disposed in an accommodation space, is connected to the interactive display portion and the main control board, and supplies power to the interactive display portion and the main control board. A plug receiving portion is provided on a left plate which is one of a plurality of side plates, is connected to the power supply board, and has connected thereto by the attraction force of a magnet, a magnet-type plug of a magnetic cord that can be connected to an external power supply.

In an embodiment, a method includes wirelessly transmitting power using a transmitter LC tank of a wireless power transmitter, wirelessly receiving power from the transmitter LC tank using a receiver LC tank of a wireless power receiver, interrupting wirelessly transmitting power for a slot period, during the slot period, measuring a receiver signal associated with the receiver LC tank, transmitting receiver data based on the measured receiver signal to the wireless power transmitter, determining a power loss associated with the wirelessly transmitting power based on the measured receiver signal and detecting a metallic object based on the determined power loss.

A smart kettle is disclosed. The smart kettle includes a body that is configured to increase in temperature in response to a magnetic field. The smart kettle further includes a temperature sensor that is located on a bottom of the body and that is configured to measure a temperature of the bottom of the body. The smart kettle further includes a controller that is configured to adjust a strength of the magnetic field based on the temperature measured by the temperature sensor by outputting a control signal.
