  • Patent number: 12048374
    Abstract: A mobile workstation with adjustable height of the present disclosure may comprise a top assembly, an adjustment assembly, and a bottom assembly. Adjustment assembly may comprise telescopically engaged segments. One or more pulleys or pulley assemblies may be disposed within one or more of the segments to allow for withdrawing and retracting segments from one another at the same rate. Actuation of the raising or lowering of the overall height of the mobile workstation may be realized through either a manual actuation or an electronic element such as a linear actuator.

  • Publication number: 20240112789
    Abstract: A system for optimizing resource allocation includes and/or interfaces with: a set of contextual data sources; a decision-making subsystem; and a set of schedules. Additionally or alternatively, the system can optionally include and/or interface with a set of user interfaces, memory, a set of data collection, and/or any other suitable components. A method for resource optimization includes: receiving a set of inputs; and processing the set of inputs and/or contextual data with a set of models to produce a set of schedules. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include any or all of: training the set of models; pre-processing the set of inputs to supplement the set of contextual data; dynamically adjusting the set of schedules; triggering a set of actions based on the set of schedules; updating the set of models; and/or any other processes.
