Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and method adapted to control or assist the movement of a display screen relative to a screen housing. In some embodiments, a linkage assembly is adapted to move a display screen relative to a screen housing. Also, some embodiments employ a hub movable within an elongated aperture, and can also have a projection engaged with a second elongated aperture to help control the orientation of the display screen relative to the screen housing. Some embodiments according to the present invention employ lift devices, lock devices, and other display control devices, such as clutches and friction assemblies.

Abstract: A module for a battery is disclosed. The module includes a power system in the container. The power system also includes a high voltage battery for powering high voltage loads. The power system also includes a low voltage battery for powering low voltage loads. The module also includes a converter at least partially in the container configured for directing power provided from the high voltage battery to the low voltage battery. The module also includes a device for disconnecting at least one of the high voltage battery from the high voltage loads and the low voltage battery from the low voltage loads. The container is configured to transfer heat from the battery system to an outside of the container. A module for thermal management of a battery system is also disclosed. An energy management system for a battery system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A foldable desk having a working condition and a folded condition. The foldable desk includes a desk top, a plurality of legs and a shelf. The desk top includes a cord managing aperture that permits cords to pass through the desk top when the desk is in the working condition and is useable as a handle when the desk is in the folded condition. The desk top can move between a first orientation when the desk is in the working condition and a second orientation when the desk is in the folded condition. The plurality of legs are coupled to the desk top to support the desk top in the working condition. The plurality of legs lie in a single plane in the folded condition and do not lie in a single plane in the working condition.
