  • Patent number: 11744376
    Abstract: A method and system for temperature control of a microclimate device are disclosed. The temperature control can be integrated into a reservation system for the microclimate device. A user interface can receive a user input of a temperature control setting. The user interface can be integrated into the microclimate device. A processor can receive the user input and control a heating and/or cooling device to execute the temperature control setting.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230240443
    Abstract: A wall mount bracket assembly includes a first bracket having a vertical flange and a horizontal flange and a second bracket having a vertical flange and a horizontal flange. The horizontal flanges of the first and second bracket are adjustably coupled such that a gap defined between the vertical flanges of the first and second brackets may be varied, wherein the first and second brackets define a downwardly opening channel.

  • Patent number: 11647834
    Abstract: A display support system includes a display support system having a pair of posts spaced apart in a first direction and upper and lower vertically spaced beams extending in the first direction. Each of the upper and lower beams has first and second ends coupled to the posts. A pair of receivers are carried by each of the upper and lower beams, wherein the receivers open upwardly in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and wherein the receivers are movable relative to the upper and lower beams in at least the second direction. A plurality of mounting members, each having an insert portion, are removably received in one of the receivers, wherein the mounting members are adapted to be coupled to the display.

  • Patent number: 11561000
    Abstract: A lamp assembly includes a base, a support arm coupled to the base, a housing coupled to the support arm, a mirror supported by the housing, a light arrangement supported in the housing, wherein the base, the support arm, and the housing are reconfigurable between a first configuration where the housing is located vertically above the base and a reflective surface of the mirror is parallel with a worksurface, a second configuration where the housing is located vertically above the base and the reflective surface is perpendicular to the worksurface, and a third configuration where the housing is located at least partially rearward of the base and the reflective surface is substantially perpendicular to the worksurface. The lamp assembly may further include a support member configured to cooperate with the base to support a personal communication device, and a rotatable portion of the housing which controls a light intensity.
