A disposition system and method uses software and/or hardware tools to bring persons sharing common interests face to face. In one aspect, a system is used which includes disposition devices such as seating or standing supports and/or counter/table arrangements. The system is adapted to dispose at least three persons in which a guiding system guides relative movement of at least one person of the at least three persons to place the at least one person so as to successively face one of the at least two remaining persons for a desired time period. The system facilitates networking in a manner which reduces awkward situations and provides discipline and efficiency in facilitating contact with a plurality of users. A controller controls the disposition for improved networking, including considering occupancy on the disposition devices.

A smart office desk interactive with the user, defined on the basis of an individual work desk (M) and various hardware and software elements applied to it and whose main hardware components comprise a working desktop divided into two zones, one which can be raised at an angle, motor-driven legs which raise and lower the desktop, a footrest tray and a series of sensors integrated into the desktop structure and in the legs. The smart office desk learns from the user by machine learning algorithms, and proposes physical actions in accordance with what has been learned. The table collects information from the user concerning their postures and working habits, using various physical sensors, and by their interactions with the software application displayed onscreen. It is thus a table controlled by a computer system which receives data on the user and the working environment as inputs. The system's outputs take the form of recommendations made to the user, automatic implementation of actions on them, and statistics the user can consult about their daily work.

A configurable workstation for communication equipment has a primary support assembly and may have one or more secondary support assemblies behind the primary support assembly to define separate zones that are automatically adjustable in elevation by a motor drive system independently of one another and in synchronization with each other. The primary support assembly may have a work deck, an equipment rack, or a conference table. Each secondary support assembly has an equipment rack. The zones are separated by gap regions permitting recessed positioning of equipment and heat dissipation from a base of the workstation in which computer equipment may be stored. The configurable workstation allows operators to see and be seen, and facilitates ergonomically beneficial positioning of equipment.

A leg assembly for a table includes an elongated body portion having a wireway extending along a length of the body portion and configured to receive electrical power and communication lines therein, one or more wire retaining assemblies located within the wireway of the body portion, each of the one or more wire retaining assemblies movable between a first position, wherein electrical power and communication lines are retained within the wireway, and a second position, wherein electrical power and communication lines may be readily removed from within the wireway, and wherein the one or more wire retaining assemblies remain at least partially within the wireway in the first position and in the second position, and a cover member releasably connected to the one or more wire retaining assemblies.

A presentation and display system comprising a pedestal mounted on a plinth and a display screen or monitor carried by the pedestal, in which the individual components of the system are secured together by manually operable releasable fasteners.

Retractable screen (1) and keyboard (2) assembly for tables, comprising a supporting structure provided with a frame (3) defining a housing (4), and with a supporting frame (5) on the table, the screen (1) being able to rotate from a position in which it is stowed inside the housing (4) and flush with the supporting frame (5) to an elevated use position, a platform (6) arranged in the housing (4) on which the keyboard (2) rests, means for guiding (G) the platform (6) vertically from a lower position which leaves space for the stowed screen (1) and an upper use position, and further comprising a base (7) for the screen (1) which can rotate about a fixed axis () in relation to said frame (3), the screen (1) being mounted on said base (7), the screen (1) and base (7) assembly being able to rotate about said axis () from the stowed position to the use position.

A monitor support assembly comprising a base designed to rest on an ambient floor surface, the base having a rear end, an upright frame structure mounted to and extending vertically upward from the base spaced forward of the rear end, the frame structure including first and second vertical members and at least a top frame member that extends horizontally between the first and second vertical members, a shroud assembly mounted to the upright frame structure including at least a first central wall member and first and second additional wall members, the first and second additional wall members extending from the first and second lateral edges in the same direction, the first central wall member and the additional wall members forming a receiving space, and a mounting plate mountable to the rear surface of a displays screen and releasably supported by the upright frame structure within the receiving space wherein a depth dimension of the receiving space is sufficient to accommodate a display screen mounted therein via the mounting plate.

An aircraft table configuration includes a first table section and a second table section. The first and second table sections are hingedly connected along a first hinge line so that the second table section is configurable between a deployed, opened position and a folded, closed position. The first table section presents a first angled side and the second table section table presents a second angled side. The first angled side defines a first angle with respect to the first hinge line, and the second angled side defines a second angle with respect to the first hinge line. The first angled side and the second angled side are opposite to one another on either side of the first hinge line, wherein the first and second angled sides are adapted to define an aisle width in the aircraft. The aisle width does not change between the open position and the closed position.
