  • Patent number: 9955789
    Abstract: Exercise treadmill chair platform that resides horizontally over a treadmill when it is not in use to stabilize an office chair while it resides beneath the desk. The platform has a top and bottom flat plate, aligned, square or rectangular shaped, and of a low profile, that slides over the treadmill to cover the belt when the treadmill is not in use, thus enabling the user to safely sit at the desk without having to store away the treadmill. The platform may further comprise a right and left side wall; and, four corner wheels to assist the user in moving the platform, and two bumpers to protect the wheels from entanglements. The top flat plate further comprises oval shaped grooves arranged in a circle, designed to house the wheels of a variety of types of swivel chairs in order to keep the chair from rolling off of the platform.

  • Patent number: 9700135
    Abstract: An electric height adjustable desk with synchronous moving footrest, method of use, and a rotatable footrest assembly. The desk comprises: a desktop; two electric height adjustable desk leg members; two horizontal base members; and a rotatable footrest assembly. The rotatable footrest assembly comprises: two footrest frame members; two pivot spring connection units; and a rotatable footrest unit comprising a U-shaped foot bar member connected on each end to a pivot spring connection unit. Each spring connection unit comprises: a gas spring; a tension member; and both are connected to a pivot plate member. The tension member and the gas spring work together to rotate the footrest unit to a horizontal position while the desktop rises, and to a vertical position while the desktop is lowered. The tension member may further comprise an extension member to delay rotating the footrest unit until the desktop has reached a selected height.

  • Publication number: 20170071332
    Abstract: Height adjustable desks with a keyboard tray system that is irradiated by an ultraviolet light disinfectant unit. The ultraviolet light unit resides parallel to and above the keyboard tray while being rigidly affixed to the underside of the desktop. The ultraviolet light unit also has the ability to irradiate the keyboard tray top when it is extended for typing and/or when it is retracted under the desktop for storage. And the ultraviolet light unit may be manually activated using a power switch located, for example, with the telescopic desk legs user control panel. And/or the ultraviolet light unit may be automatedly controlled, such as by being connected to a motion sensor to detect when a user is within close proximity to the keyboard, and thus turn off the UV light; and/or via a timer mechanism that activates the UV light unit for a regularly scheduled eradiation session.

  • Patent number: 9515470
    Abstract: A grommet assembly, such as for height adjustable desks, comprising the components: a universal cylindrical desktop grommet; a grommet flat plate (optional) with a centrally located aperture, and affixed to the underside of the desk aperture; a grommet fabric sleeve configured as a vertically oriented housing suspended downward from the desktop aperture comprising a cylindrical exterior and interior side wall; and, an internal retaining ring encased between two folds within the sleeve interior side wall by folding the sleeve top end inward and downward, the retaining ring functioning to hold the sleeve in position with the desktop aperture. The grommet assembly allows cables to move up/down within a grommet sleeve easily, unimpeded while protecting the cable(s) from damage due to abrasive surface contact and bending of the cable. This is especially suitable for height adjustable desks to allow free movement of the cable as the desk moves up/down.

  • Patent number: 8131703
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described that provide for generating ordered search results based on dynamic web analytics data that allows a resulting list of records that is responsive to a query to be ranked in a fashion that improves user satisfaction and conversion success rate. The system interrogates a target website to build a database of products and services. The individual pages/products in the database of products and services are ranked based on analytics data. Responses to searches of the target website are ordered as list of records that reflects the analytics data, which improves the ordering of the list of records based on criteria such as web page popularity, product popularity, or conversion success rate. Further embodiments provide for the generation of appropriately ordered search engine feed data based on the ranked database of products and services for the target website as well as the generation of search engine sitemaps with an appropriate priority attribute based on the analytics data.
