  • Publication number: 20230389695
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting position and/or orientation of a height adjustable desk are disclosed. The system receives data from one or more sensors, comprising sit and stand periods associated with a user of the height adjustable desk. The system further calculates a physical condition profile for the user, based on a pre-configured set of rules obtained by a network-connected health application. The physical condition profile is based on the sit and stand periods associated with the user. Further, the system creates a sit and stand schedule for the user based on the calculated physical condition profile and transmits a signal to an electric motor connected with the height adjustable desk, to adjust the height of height adjustable desk according to the sit and stand schedule.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cross-brace (4) having an elongate rod portion (41) and two claws (42), in the case of which a second grip-around portion (423) of the claws (42) can be moved relative to a first grip-around portion (422) of the claws (42) between an open position, in which a rod-form element is accommodated by the claws (42), or can be removed from the claws (42), and a closed position, in which the claws (42) can grip around the rod-form element. The first grip-around portion (422) and the second grip-around portion (423) are designed here such that they grip around the rod-form element in the closed position in such a manner that a gap (S) remains between a free end (4224) of the first grip-around portion (422) and a free end (4231) of the second grip-around portion (423). Furthermore, the claws (42) comprise an arresting mechanism, which is designed to keep the first grip-around portion (422) and the second grip-around portion (423) in the closed position.

  • Publication number: 20230389704
    Abstract: A gas cylinder tank storage rack uses groups of load cells to sense the presence and fill state of tanks in storage locations on shelves. Tanks can be stored lying down horizontally on parallel rails. The rails are hinged to a crossbar of a frame of the rack and rest at an opposite end upon load cells attached to another crossbar of the frame. Multiple tanks can also be stored upright upon platforms resting upon at least one pair of load cells affixed to front and/or back crossbars of the frame. Sensor outputs from pairs of cells are processed in tandem to yield an average load value. The measured load in relation to threshold values determine the number and fill state of tanks on the shelves. Tank inventory can be communicated to a server to handle ordering of replacement tanks when needed.
