摘要： A workstation holding one or more electronic devices, e.g., a display, keyboard, or the like, can be mounted on a structure, e.g., a wall, using an articulating arm assembly including one or more arms. The one or more arms can be rotatingly coupled to the structure on one end and a work surface can be coupled to the other end. At least one of the one or more arms can be height adjustable. The workstation can rotate about a horizontal axis between a use configuration and a storage configuration. The one or more arms can be configured to translate the workstation between a contracted orientation and extended orientation. The height adjustable arm can include a counterbalance mechanism to counter a weight of the one or more components coupled to the workstation. A tension of the one or more springs contained in the counterbalance mechanism can be adjustable.

摘要： A coupling system between the frame and the leg assembly of a workstation is described. The coupling system can be configured to selectively attach and detach the leg assembly from the frame. The leg assembly can include an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism, can be configured to adjust the length of the leg. The leg assembly can include a leg coupling feature and the frame can have a frame coupling feature. The leg coupling feature can be configured to engage with the frame coupling feature, for instance to attach the leg to the frame. The workstation can include a latch configured to engage with the leg assembly. Engagement of the latch with the leg assembly can secure a position of the leg with respect to the frame.

摘要： A workstation including a height-adjustable work surface is described. The workstation includes a frame, and the work surface is configured to translate relative to the frame to vary a height of the work surface. A lift assembly configured to assist translation of the work surface relative to the frame. The lift assembly includes a moveable component and translation of the moveable component results in a translation of the work surface relative to the frame. A translation sensor is coupled to one of the frame or the movable component, and it is configured to measure translation of the moveable component relative to the frame. A control circuit is in communication with the translation sensor to determine an amount of translation of the work surface relative to the frame.

摘要： Techniques for distributing electrical power to a plurality of electrical loads can include coupling an existing group of electrical loads to a common power source through a load management system, measuring an aggregate group current drawn by at least the existing group of electrical loads and comparing the measured aggregate group current to an aggregate group current threshold value. When the measured aggregate group current exceeds the aggregate group current threshold value, increase a number of subgroups of the existing group, using subgroups that are formed without requiring information about individual current associated with the individual electrical loads, sequentially apply power to individual subgroups during non-overlapping time periods, sequentially measure at least a corresponding current drawn by the individual subgroups while power is applied to the subgroups, and sequentially comparing the measured current to a threshold value.

摘要： A lift force of a height adjustable assembly can be estimated using a potentiometer or other position sensor coupled to a counterbalance mechanism. The estimated lift force can be communicated to the user, e.g., presented on an electronic display, and the user can continue adjustment of the lift force, if needed, to substantially balance the lift force with the weight of the components coupled to the assembly.

摘要： A display mounting system including a support column, a moving bracket, an arm assembly, and a tilt assembly is described. The display mounting system includes one or more display attachment brackets to support one or more electronic displays. The display mounting system is used to hold one or more electronic displays over a work surface or in front of a wall, and it allows the user of the display mounting system to easily change the orientation of one or more electronic displays according to user's preferences.

摘要： In one example, a height adjustable desktop system is described that can include a work surface, a foot assembly and a linkage assembly that adjustably connects the work surface to the foot assembly allowing vertical adjustment of the work surface. The linkage assembly can include a pair of adjustment assemblies, each having a transverse linkage that maintains the work surface in a horizontal orientation as the work surface is elevated or lowered. A biasing mechanism, such as an extension spring or a torsion spring, biases the work surface toward the elevated position.

摘要： An apparatus for positioning an electronic display is described. The apparatus can be combined with an existing work surface to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases, the apparatus includes a mounting portion configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The mounting portion may be movable with respect to the work surface between multiple positions, including for example, a sitting position and a standing position. Methods for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard are also included.

摘要： A height adjustable table can include a plurality of legs, a lower portion, a worksurface, a height adjustable surface, and a linkage. The worksurface can be supported by the plurality of legs and can include a fixed surface and a height adjustable surface. The fixed surface can be secured to at least one of the lower portion and the plurality of legs, and the fixed surface can define a recessed portion. The height adjustable surface can be movable between a raised position and a lowered position so that the height-adjustable surface retracts into the recessed portion when in the lowered position so that the height adjustable surface is coplanar with the fixed surface. The linkage can be configured to move the height adjustable surface between the lowered position and the raised position so that the height adjustable surface remains parallel to the fixed surface.
