Abstract: An integrated power supply system with audio and electronic communication and connection capabilities for being retained relative to a work surface. The system has a system base, power outlets, electronic data connectivity ports, and speakers. The connectivity ports can comprise USB, USB-C, LAN, HDMI, telephonic, or other ports. A telephone connectivity subsystem enables telephone communication, and a wireless connectivity subsystem enables wireless operation. A central engaging portion of the system base is received into positive engagement in a selective position along a mounting collar and within an aperture in the work surface, and a mounting bracket clamps the work surface between the system base and the mounting bracket. A detachable electronic command console is operative to control electronic operation of the system base and electronics coupled to the system base. The command console is further operative to permit control and operation of the telephone connectivity subsystem.

Abstract: A wire management system for managing electronic wiring in relation to a structure. An elongate mounting track has a spine and locking ribs forming first and second longitudinal locking formations, and a wire management cradle has a panel of mesh forming a central cradle section and first and second attachment sections with receiving channels forming first and second longitudinal locking formations for being selectively attached to the first and second longitudinal locking formations of the mounting track. A proximal portion of one of the attachment sections can be divided into plural segments separated by openings to allow the passage of wires. An accessory rail can selectively and adjustably retain accessories, including wire management clips and power units. The wire management clip and other accessories have retaining formation corresponding in shape to the shape of a retaining formation of the accessory rail.

Abstract: A pivoting mechanism with a first member, a second member pivotally engaged with the first member to pivot about a pivot axis, and pivoting resistance mechanism with a spring housing disposed in the first member spaced from the pivot axis, a spring disposed in the spring housing, and a deflecting member that projects from the second member spaced from the pivot axis to engage the spring disposed in the spring housing. The first member can be a chair mechanism body, and the second member can be a pivoting support, such as for a chair bottom or back. A height adjustment mechanism has a movable member, and a locking member, such as a screw, can be operative as a height locking mechanism with a first, restraining condition wherein actuation of the movable member is prevented and a second, non-restraining condition wherein actuation of the movable member is permitted.

Abstract: A pivoting mechanism with gross and fine adjustment with a housing, an elongate shaft pivotally retained by the housing, resiliently deformable members retained by the housing, cam members coupled to the shaft wherein the cam members are disposed to deform the resiliently deformable members when the cam members are pivoted, and a locking slide bar for selectively causing the cam members to pivot with the shaft to produce gross adjustments in pivoting resistance. First and second ends of the shaft can act as an output interface for outputting the pivoting resistance exhibited by the shaft to a seat back structure, a seat bottom structure, or some other structure. A threaded rod rotated by a handle can adjust an initial deformation of the first resiliently deformable member for fine pivoting resistance adjustment.

Abstract: A mobile task chair with a mobile base structure, a control mechanism, a seat bottom, and a seat back. A physical setting control mechanism is adjustable to control a physical setting of the mobile task chair, and a visual indicator provides a visual indication, such as an illuminated visual indication, of the physical setting of the mobile task chair as adjusted by the physical setting control mechanism. The physical setting control mechanism can be pivoting resistance adjustment mechanism, and the visual indicator can indicate a selected pivoting resistance based on a resistance sensed by a resistance sensor. Multiple physical setting control mechanisms and a corresponding multiplicity of separate visual indicators can be provided. The visual indicator can be selectively induced as by touch and can be effective for a given time period. Recommended settings can be provided and automatically or selectively induced.

Abstract: A product information communication system comprising a product, a product identification device retained relative to the product, product identifying information retained in electronic memory regarding the product, and a communication network permitting electronic access to the product details including the retained product identifying information. Identifying information can be accessed by wireless communication and rendered available by a central server with electronic access to product identifying information. Product details can include product characteristics, functions, construction, maintenance, performance, usage, warranty information, and instructions. Electronic tracking, analysis, and recommendation regarding product usage by sensors can be selectively induced.

Abstract: A seat with pelvic support having a seat bottom, a panel of elastomeric material retained under an initial tension spanning a framework of the seat bottom, and a resiliently deflectable pelvic support structure retained in spaced relation from the panel of elastomeric material. The resiliently deflectable pelvic support structure provides supplemental support to the seat occupant when the panel of elastomeric material is sufficiently deflected. The resiliently deflectable pelvic support structure can be formed by a plurality of resiliently deflectable fingers. The fingers, which can have different deflection resistances to establish hyper-localized resistance control, can project outboard from a central member or inboard from the framework. A U-shaped rigidifying member can be secured to the framework, and a seat back can retain a support and positioning member in a fixed angular orientation relative to the seat bottom.
