Desk with User Selectable Adjustments for Hot Desking
A desk includes a work surface, a casing, a carriage, a stand, and a plurality of actuators. The actuators are operable to selectively adjust a vertical position of the work surface, the stand between at least a stored position and a deployed position, and a lateral position of the carriage. The casing is mounted to the work surface and defines an interior volume sized for receipt of a display. The carriage is mounted to the stand and is configured for supporting the display. A controller is in operative communication with the actuators and is configured for receiving data corresponding to a desk configuration over a wireless network and activating one or more of the actuators to correspond to the desk configuration.
FUNCTIONAL RAIL AND WORKSURFACE SUPPORT
A functional rail system is mounted to the top of a modular office panel and supports a worksurface on the rail with the worksurface locked in position along the rail. The rail includes a channel in the upper surface for receiving an accessory, and a side accessory slot for mounting the worksurface. The worksurface may be mounted via an upper bracket and a lower bracket interfitted with each other and the side accessory slot to frictionally lock the brackets in place along the longitudinal length of the slot.
DEPLOYABLE SCREEN SYSTEM
A workstation assembly that can be opened when needed is disclosed. When closed, the workstation assembly can be aesthetically pleasing and can have a reduced footprint. When opened, the workstation assembly can include a deployable screen system capable of deploying an interior screen from a door section of the workstation assembly. The screen can provide a backdrop for videoconferencing, can provide improved isolation (e.g., sound isolation, visual isolation, shared airflow isolation, and the like) for an individual within the opened workstation assembly. The deployable screen system can also include an exterior screen for providing an aesthetically pleasing exterior and improved isolation while the workstation assembly is in use. The workstation assembly can also include a surround frame with openings and light sources to provide diffuse illumination to the environment surrounding the workstation assembly, which can be especially useful when natural light is unavailable.
Fastening mechanism and a furniture assembly
A fastening mechanism configured to connect a first member to a second member may have a clamp member having an enclosure for enclosing the first member. The mechanism may also have engagement sheets extending from two side edges of the enclosure. Each engagement sheet may have a first engagement portion. The mechanism may also have a locking member having slots where the engagement sheets of the clamp member may be configured to be inserted through the slots. The mechanism may also have an actuating and tensioning device having a main body portion provided with second engagement portions engaged with the first engagement portions, and a force application mechanism affixed to the main body portion for applying a force on the locking member to shift the relative position between the locking member and the clamp member. A furniture assembly using the fastening mechanism is also provided.
Workstation Divider with Lighting, Privacy, and Power
A portable workstation divider is disclosed. The workstation divider functionally integrates a lighting fixture with at least one privacy panel and a power outlet or outlets. The lighting fixture typically uses LED-based lighting elements. A single, long privacy panel may be wrapped around and attached to the lighting fixture in some embodiments, while in other embodiments, the lighting fixture may carry elements that establish a sliding track for two privacy panels. The power outlet or outlets may offer either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) power for user devices, and may be of any known type, including traditional AC outlets, USB and USB-C outlets, and proprietary types of outlets. Some workstation dividers may be entirely mobile.
MODULAR OUTDOOR CLASSROOM DESKS
A set of modular classroom desks configured for outdoor use is presently described. Each classroom desk includes a bench seat; a table unit having a top surface; and first and second legs, each of which is coupled to both the bench seat and the table unit. The classroom desks of the set are configured to be releasably attached together in either a side-by-side orientation or a face-to-face orientation. In the side-by-side orientation, the top surfaces of the classroom desks form a planar tabletop surface, and the bench seats of the classroom desks form a planar seating surface. In the face-to-face orientation, the top surfaces of the classroom desks form a planar tabletop surface. In this manner, a number of classroom desks may be attached together, for instance to form a picnic table.
Furniture system and method for arranging the same
The present invention relates to a furniture system and a method for arranging the same capable of improving a space efficiency using a rectangular pillar. In accordance with the present invention, a plurality of tables can be arranged efficiently in a limited space without sacrificing the convenience and privacy of the users of the tables.
Table and lectern furniture system
A table assembly comprising a top member forming a substantially flat top surface circumscribed by an outer edge and at least a first leg support member supporting the top member in a substantially horizontal position, a table dock secured to the top member and forming an elongated channel having a dock length dimension and at least a first display panel circumscribed by a panel edge and having at least one straight edge having a panel length dimension, the dock length dimension less than panel length dimension, wherein at least a portion of the straight edge of the panel is receivable within the dock channel with the panel extending out the open first and second ends of the channel to support the panel in a substantially upright orientation with at least a portion of the display panel extending to a height above the flat top surface.
ADJUSTABLE POWER AND DATA RAIL FOR DESKS
An adjustable power and data rail for static height and vertically adjustable desks. The adjustable power and data rail fits between the static height and vertically adjustable desks and expands as needed either horizontally or vertically to match the installation configuration with paired multiple desks. The power and data rail provides connectivity for each of the static height or vertically adjustable desks to data and power connectors.
SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR VISUAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE
A computer-implemented method for identifying discrepancies between a design image of a user interface for an application and a screenshot of the user interface as displayed by the application includes performing a first comparison between the design image and the screenshot to identify one or more discrepancies between the images, excluding from the discrepancies those corresponding to visual elements on the screenshot that include dynamic content, and generating an image of the screenshot, wherein the image includes a visual indication of every discrepancy detected by the second comparison as the identified discrepancies between the design image and the screenshot.
