A furniture system includes a base and transverse member, with an induction charger provided in the transverse member and/or base, hidden from view and feel. The induction charger can be at least partially secured to either the base frame or the transverse member frame. The induction charger provides induction charging to a device positioned adjacent to a charging surface of the base or transverse member. The charging surface is positioned adjacent to the induction charger. Additionally, the induction charger is positioned between a first and second cushioning material. The first cushioning material is adjacent to (e.g., proximal to or on) the charging surface. The first and second cushioning materials have respective depths.

A furniture system has a longitudinally extending member (2), a component (4) comprising a mounting member (10) and a component mounting system for mounting the component (4) on the longitudinally extending member (2). The component mounting system includes a support member (7), a clamp member (11) and a fixing member (12). In use, the support member (7) is adapted to be located between the component (4) and the longitudinally extending member (2). The fixing member (12) extends through the clamp member (11) and the support member (7) to engage with the component mounting member (10). Engaging the fixing member (12) with the component mounting member (10) causes the clamp member (11) to engage with an engagement formation (24) on the longitudinally extending member (2) to clamp the support member (7) between the longitudinally extending member (2) and the component (4) to mount the component (4) on the longitudinally extending member (2).

A modular sofa assembly described herein includes a plurality of seating modules each having a seat section, a backrest section, and side edge surfaces. The backrest section includes first and second portions coupled for movement between a folded configuration and an extended configuration. An armrest module has an armrest side edge surface configured for mating engagement with a side edge surface of a seating module. The modular sofa is assembled by aligning connectors of the seating modules and armrest module, with each respective connectors slidingly engaged along an axis. After bringing the modules together, these connections are secured with the side edge surfaces in abutting engagement. The modular sofa further may include a power cradle mounted at the sofa's bottom surface. The power cradle includes a cubic power outlet near the front of the sofa, and power cable extending beyond the back of the sofa.

Methods and devices for reading a memory cell using multi-stage memory sensing are described. The memory cell may be coupled to a digit line after the digit line during a read operation. A transistor may be activated to couple an amplifier capacitor with the digit line during the read operation. The transistor may be deactivated for a portion of the read operation to isolate the amplifier capacitor from the digit line while the memory cell is coupled to the digit line. The transistor may be reactivated to recouple the amplifier capacitor to the digit line to help determine the value of the memory cell.

A toolless assembly method for assembling structures having multiple component pieces, including the step of providing a plurality of component pieces, the pieces having cooperating brackets and receivers for slidingly receiving the brackets and rotating latches. In another step, the component pieces are assembled by orienting the components into a desired configuration corresponding to the assembled structure, with adjacent brackets installed into adjacent receivers. In a further step, the component pieces are locked together by rotating the latches so that the latches bear against adjoining component pieces to lock the adjacent component pieces together.

A furnishing having a horizontally oriented base component, a base depth extension, and a vertically oriented side component is disclosed. The base depth extension having a front surface coupled to the horizontally oriented base component and a back surface that is substantially parallel to the front surface. The vertically oriented side component is coupled to the back surface of the base depth extension.

A modular furniture piece with integrated connectors comprises a first module with a plurality of first integrated connectors selectively located thereon. A second module is provided for fastening to the first module, and the second module has a plurality of second integrated connectors located thereon. The first integrated connectors register with the second integrated connectors when the first module and the second module are positioned with respect to each other in their assembled orientation.

Implementations of a magnetic mat with removable cover having rotating magnets (magnetic mat) are provided. In some implementations, the magnetic mat comprises an insert, a cover, pockets, and magnets.

In some implementations, a method for using the magnetic mat comprises assembling two or more of the magnetic mats together in a desired shape configuration.

In some implementations, the method may further comprise disassembling the magnetic mats from the assembled shape configuration. In some implementations, the method may further comprise reassembling the magnetic mats into another desired shape configuration.

A modular furniture assembly includes: a base member having a frame assembly, a transverse member having a frame assembly, a foot configured to contact a support surface, and a mounting platform having a plurality of apertures therethrough. The mounting platform is configured to be mounted on the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly, thereby connecting the frame assemblies. The foot is selectively mounted on the mounting platform, such that the foot is configured to contact the support surface when the modular furniture assembly is in an upright configuration. The mounting platform connects the base and transverse member frame assemblies together and also acts as a platform for receiving a variety of different types of feet.

An adjustable cushion pad locking system may include two cushions, cushion cover with locking mechanisms on each side, and buckles to attach straps to. The cushion covers locking mechanisms has an engaged condition in which they can lock to similar locking mechanism to form alternative uses of the cushion pad.
