Abstract: A furniture system includes vertical and horizontal frame members, and a connection assembly that includes a T-shaped slot located within the vertical frame member, a T-shaped tab extending from the horizontal frame member and configured to engage the at least one T-shaped slot, at least one locking slot located within the vertical frame member, a locking member configured to engage the locking slot, and a fastener configured such that when the fastener is secured to the locking member the T-shaped tab is driven into engagement with the T-shaped slot and the horizontal frame member is pulled toward the vertical member so as to connect the horizontal frame member to the vertical frame member.

Abstract: A furniture system includes a furniture member including at least one slot, the furniture member having a first portion defining a first width of the at least one slot and second portion defining a second width of the at least one slot, the second width greater than the first width, a pair of support members each having a pair of recesses, each of the support members rotatable between a first position where the support member may be inserted into or removed from the at least one slot, and a second position where the recesses of the support member engage the first portion of the furniture member preventing removal of the support member from the at least one slot, and a screen member engaging the pair of support members thereby preventing the support members from rotating from the second position to the first position.

Abstract: A cap assembly having a clutch mechanism which permits independent rotation of a stemmed applicator when the cap is in a closed position and prevents rotation when the cap is removed. The cap assembly in combination with a housing, particularly for cosmetics applications, is also disclosed. The stemmed applicator may have shaft having a non-circular cross-section, when taken perpendicular to its longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An article of furniture is disclosed. The article of furniture comprises a stool configured to be used on a generally horizontal surface such as a floor. The stool comprises a seat and a base comprising a rounded bottom surface configured to rest upon the floor. A mass is positioned beneath the seat so that the base is at equilibrium in a first tilted orientation relative to the floor. The base can be tilted to second tilted orientation relative to the floor by tilting the rounded bottom surface of the base relative to the floor.

Abstract: A system and method for storing and managing digital content is disclosed. Uncompressed digital content is obtained and automatically stored on a memory device, such digital content becoming immediately available to a user from the memory device. Imperceptibly to the user, the digital content is compressed, the compressed content is stored on the memory device and the uncompressed content is deleted from the memory device. The user shall have complete access to the digital content at all times, and is unaware in what format (compressed or uncompressed) such content is present.

Abstract: An off-module connector system for a partition system which detachably connects a first partition with a second partition in a non-parallel, angular relationship at a location on the first partition between the opposite side members thereof. The off-module connector system includes top and bottom connector brackets, which engage the attachment slots on the panel frames to securely, yet removably, mounting the two partition panels in an off-modular relationship.
