  • Publication number: 20240011285
    Abstract: A wall panel for a workspace system includes a monolithic wall portion and a cover carried by the monolithic wall portion. The monolithic wall portion includes a first surface, an aperture including a wall opening formed on the first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface. The cover includes a channel adjacent to the first surface, and the channel and the aperture together define an internal chamber. The cover further includes a cover opening coupled to the channel. The wall panel further includes an electrical assembly carried in the internal chamber. The electrical assembly includes a receptacle that is accessible via the cover opening.

  • Patent number: 8548889
    Abstract: A system for graphically differentiating user preferred securities from one another is disclosed. The system comprises a server system (12) and a client system (14). The server system (12) is in communication with a security data source (26) that provides security data on a plurality of securities. The client system (14) is in communication with the server system (12) and provides M user specific criteria to the server system (12). The server system (12) then analyzes the security data based upon the M user specific criteria and identifies user preferred securities from the plurality of securities. The server system (12) provides the client system (14) with data relating to the user preferred securities. The client system (14) uses N user specific parameters received from an input device (16, 18) to generate an N dimensional graph that is populated with icons representing the user preferred securities, thereby graphically differentiating the user preferred securities from one another on a display device (20).

  • Patent number: 8033059
    Abstract: A paneling system for use as a wing and/or return panel for dividing large open office areas into smaller work stations. The paneling system includes a frame having top and bottom surfaces, and side surfaces. Attachment assemblies are used for removably attaching one or more paneling system to one or more of a spine wall, post, wing panel, return panel, and work surfaces.

  • Patent number: 7970694
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems of executing securities trades. An exemplary system comprises a server system that is in communication with a client system, a security data source, and a trade execution location. The security data source provides security data relating to a plurality of securities to the server system. The client system provides user specific criteria to the server system. The server system then analyzes the security data based upon the criteria, identifies user preferred securities from the plurality of securities, and provides the client system with data relating to the user preferred securities. The client system uses N user specific parameters to generate and display an N dimensional graph that is populated with icons representing the user preferred securities. After a user preferred securities is selected from the graph and an order is requested, the client system sends the order to the server system.

  • Patent number: 7962398
    Abstract: A system for executing trades in a user preferred security comprising a server system (12) in communication with a client system (14), a security data source (26) and a trade execution location (30). The security data source (26) provides security data relating to a plurality of securities to the server system (12). The server system (12) analyzes the security data based upon M user specific criteria, and identifies user preferred securities from the plurality of securities and provides the client system (14) with data relating to the user preferred securities. The client system (14) uses N user specific parameters to generate and display an N dimensional graph that is populated with icons representing the user preferred securities. After a user preferred security is selected, the server system (12) routes the order to a trade execution location (30).
