Abstract: A furnishing unit includes at least one surface configured support weight of a user of the furnishing unit, an identifier conveyance unit configured to convey furnishing unit identifier data of the furnishing unit; and a furnishing processing system. The furnishing processing system is operable to receive experience selection data generated by a client device associated with the user based on user input by the user to an interactive user interface, where the client device generates the experience selection data based on determining the furnishing unit identifier data for the furnishing unit via an identifier input element when in proximity to the furnishing unit. The furnishing processing system is further operable to configure output of at least one experience facilitation element of a set of experience facilitation elements associated with the furnishing unit based on the experience selection data.

Abstract: A client device includes a 3D slicer that operates by: automatically generating fin support data based on a selected print angle corresponding to at least one fin support configured to support the object during printing via a 3D printer, the at least one fin support including a vertical triangular fin element having a leading edge corresponding to the angular deviation of the planar surface from a vertical axis and a horizontal base element; generating updated model data by updating the model data to correspond to the print angle, to include the fin support data and further to include sprue data corresponding to a plurality of sprues that couple the leading edge of the vertical triangular fin element to the planar surface at multiple points, wherein the plurality of sprues facilitate separation of the at least one fin support from the object after printing via the 3D printer.

Abstract: A seating unit operates by receiving, via a communication interface from a client device associated with a user, communications that include selection data generated by the client device based on user input by the user to an interactive user interface of the client device, wherein the selection data includes a target temperature; receiving, via at least one processor, an ambient temperature associated with an environment surrounding the seating unit; selectively adjusting, via the at least one processor, the target temperature based on the ambient temperature; and delivering power to a first heating element of the seating unit and a second heating element of the seating unit responsive to the target temperature.

Abstract: A seating unit includes: a seat back having a front side and a back side, the seat back constructed of first composite stone material; a seat bottom having a top side and an underside seat bottom constructed of second composite stone material; a first heating element, attached to the back side of the seat back, and configured to deliver first heating through the first composite stone material of the seat back to a user while seated in the seating unit when electrically powered; a second heating element, attached to the underside of the seat bottom, and configured to deliver second heating through the second composite stone material of the seat bottom to the user while seated in the seating unit when electrically powered; circuitry configured to facilitate delivery of power to the first heating element and the second heating element; and a drainage element having a drainage element cavity at the back end of the seat bottom.

Abstract: A seating unit includes a seat back having a front side and a back side, and a seat bottom having a top side and an underside. A first heating element of the seating unit, attached to the back side of the seat back, can be configured to deliver first heating through the seat back to a user while seated in the seating unit when electrically powered. A second heating element of the seating unit, attached to the underside of the seat bottom, can be configured to deliver second heating through the seat bottom to the user while seated in the seating unit when electrically powered. The seating unit can further include circuitry configured to facilitate delivery of power to the first heating element and the second heating element.

Abstract: An article of manufacture includes at least one concrete member formed from a concrete mix including a ternary mixture of pozzolanic materials. The ternary mixture includes: a combination of a first pozzolanic supplemental cementitious material and a second pozzolanic supplemental cementitious material; and a pozzolanic supplemental aggregate material.
