Abstract: A wall panel assembly for mounting to a support is disclosed. The support includes a support-defined communicating module that includes a support-defined counterpart of a connecting structure and a support-defined conductor. The wall panel assembly comprises a wall panel that is mountable to the support, and a wall panel assembly-defined communicating module that includes a wall panel assembly-defined counterpart of the connecting structure that is configured for releasably coupling to the support-defined counterpart of the connecting structure, and a wall panel assembly-defined conductor. In response to the releasable coupling of the wall panel assembly-defined and the support-defined counterparts of the connecting structure, the wall panel assembly-defined conductor becomes disposed in operable communication, for example, electrical communication or data communication, with the support-defined conductor.

Abstract: A privacy panel system is disclosed, and comprises a privacy panel. The privacy panel comprises a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a transmittance layer between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The transmittance layer has a transmittance that is responsive to an electrical field between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. A first conductor is electrically connected to the first conductive layer, and a second conductor is electrically connected to the second conductive layer. While the electrical field is applied across the transmittance layer, the transmittance layer has a uniform transmittance.
