  • Patent number: 8641003
    Abstract: According to various aspects of the present disclosure, exemplary embodiments are disclosed of systems and methods for supporting hang rods and shelves from support surfaces, such as the walls of a closet or cabinet. In an exemplary embodiment, a system generally includes a pair of end brackets and a plurality of different pairs of interchangeable pieces configured to be selectively coupled to the pair of end brackets. Each pair of interchangeable pieces when selectively coupled to the end brackets, respectively, is operable for supporting a different hang rod from the support surface when the end brackets are coupled to the support surface.

  • Patent number: 8434629
    Abstract: A track assembly for a shelving system is disclosed that includes at least two tracks. The tracks are configured to slide relative to each other in an overlapping manner. Each track has one or more fastener holes along a longitudinal length of the track and one or more portions protruding outwardly from the track. The one or more protruding portions defining one or more recessed portions on an opposite side of the track, such that at least one protruding portion of one track is configured to be slidably engageable within at least one recessed portion of the other track when the corresponding overlapping fastener holes are aligned. The slidable engagement of the one or more protruding portions of one track within the one or more recessed portions of the other track may thus indicate that the tracks have been slidably positioned relative to each other with their overlapping fastener holes aligned.

  • Patent number: 7900783
    Abstract: A shelving system is disclosed that includes two tracks and a standard. The standard has an end portion slidably receivable within an opening one of the tracks, such that the position of the standard relative to the track is slidably adjustable along that track. The rearward portion of each track defines a recess. An elongate member is slidably receivable within the recesses of the tracks such that each track is slidable along the elongate member, whereby the slidable engagement of the elongate member within the recesses of the tracks aligns the tracks and allows slidable adjustment of the relative positioning of the tracks to each other.

  • Patent number: 7555082
    Abstract: A continuously tunable linear phase filter having a ground connection includes a three-terminal Bessel filter having an input terminal for receiving a signal, an output terminal for delivering a signal, a control terminal for receiving a control voltage, and a varactor. Each of the terminals are in signal communication with each other and the varactor is in signal communication with each of the terminals and ground, the varactor being responsive to the control voltage at the control terminal. The capacitance of the varactor is continuously adjustable in response to a change in the control voltage at the control terminal, thereby enabling continuous tuning of the continuously tunable linear phase filter in response to the control voltage.

  • Publication number: 20090139943
    Abstract: A shelving system according to an exemplary embodiment generally includes at least one track and at least one standard. The standard may include an end portion slidably receivable within an opening of the track, such that the position of the standard relative to the track is slidably adjustable along the track. The shelving system may also include one or more of the following, such as a shelving bracket, a hang rod assembly for supporting a hang rod from the shelving bracket, at least one mounting screw, and/or at least one locking member. When in the locked position, the locking member may releasably lock in place a portion of a shelf at least partially supported by the shelving bracket. The mounting screw may have a slotted head with an axial groove.
