Digital workspace ergonomics apparatuses, method and systems ('DWE') transform user multi-element touchscreen gestures via DWE components into updated digital collaboration whiteboard objects. In one embodiment, the DWE obtains user whiteboard input from a client device participating in a digital collaborative whiteboarding session. The DWE parses the user whiteboard input to determine user instructions, and modifies a tile object included in the digital collaborative whiteboarding session according to the determined user instructions. The DWE generates updated client viewport content for the client device. Also, the DWE determines that client viewport content of a second client device should be modified because of modifying the tile object included in the digital whiteboard. The DWE generates updated client viewport content for the second client device after determining that the content of the second client device should be modified, and provides the updated client viewport content to the second client device.

Ergonomic digital collaborative workspace apparatuses, methods and systems

A reconfigurable work station includes a work surface supported atop a pedestal and base. A linkage arm is affixed to the base or pedestal at a first end and pivotally connected to a fixed member at a second end. The work station can pivot, with the linkage arm, about the fixed member to be selectively positioned in multiple positions. The pedestal may be height adjustable and the work surface may be rotatable atop the pedestal. Alternatively, the work station can include two pedestals and the linkage arm can be rotatably connected to one of the pedestals to rotate the work station, as well as to pivot the work station about the fixed member. A work space includes the work station and at least one wall panel, and a work space system includes multiple work spaces. Work stations within respective work spaces can be selectively positioned in focused or collaborative configurations.

Digital whiteboard collaboration apparatuses, methods and systems

A space-dividing covered work space arrangement including a pair of opposed side modules each of a three-wall construction defined by an upright panel arrangement and a pair of upright end walls disposed at opposite ends thereof and projecting inwardly therefrom. A pair of canopies project inwardly from each of the opposed modules and are attached along inner edges thereof so as to define a continuous canopy assembly which overlies and encloses the work space from above.

A floor raceway and monument arrangement extends from a cable inlet location to one or more remote locations at which a floor mounted monument is provided, the latter typically being provided with power receptacles and communication jacks. The raceway arrangement may include an elongate rigid section suitable for extending across a walkway, which rigid section protectively encloses both power and communication cables therein, yet enables such cables to be readily laid therein and accessed. The raceway arrangement also typically includes one or more elongate flexible sections intended primarily for use in non-walkway areas. Each flexible section is defined by a plurality of cable clips which are disposed in directly adjacent relationship and are supportingly engaged on the floor. Each clip has a downwardly opening channel part which embraces a conduit-type power cable, and the clip additionally has at least one channel for receiving communication cables.

Rim top table

A cable storage bag formed of a single unitary sheet of flexible material which includes a plurality of flaps that are foldable one over the other to define a pouch-like hollow interior. The folded flaps define a cable bag having a closable top cover flap having separate independently closable halves to permit entry and exit of cables being stored within the hollow interior. The cable bag includes upper and lower cable ports generally disposed near the upper and lower corners of the cable bag and a central cable port formed between the independently movable halves of the cover flap. A plurality of straps are provided within the cable bag interior so as to facilitate storage and restraining of excess cabling therein as well as electrical components and accessories.

Storage cabinet

A storage cabinet arrangement which involves independent upper and lower cabinets of compatible design and cross section. The lower cabinet can be provided with access through one of the side walls thereof, such as by providing drawers which open through the front or narrow side of the cabinet. The upper cabinet can be provided with an access opening through the side or depth dimension of the cabinet so as to be accessible from and open directly over an adjacent worktop. The upper cabinet can be horiozntally rotated 180.degree. relative to the lower cabinet so as to open either rightwardly or leftwardly relative to the lower cabinet. The upper and lower cabinets stack together through intermediate reveal strips which are removably mounted on the top edges of the lower cabinet. One of the reveal strips can be removed and a worktop support bracket positioned in its place, which bracket projects sidewardly beyond the cabinet and has structure for securing one end of a worktop.

Storage cabinet-worksurface arrangement

A furniture component, such as a cabinet structure, having corner recesses extending vertically of the cabinet structure and each adapted to receive a vertically elongate corner trim element. The corner trim element preferably has a rounded convex configuration on one side thereof, and a generally square corner configuration on the other side thereof. The corner trim element can be positioned in the respective recess in two different orientations so that either the rounded or square corner configurations can be exteriorly exposed. When the square corner configuration is exposed, then the corner trim element also defines therein an accessible vertically elongate groove which accommodates one-half of a connecting element, such as a vertical hinge element, for permitting the corner of the cabinet to be secured to another furniture component, such as another cabinet or an upright wall panel.

Cabinet with panel-attachment corner detail

A raceway structure for a prewired wall panel, which structure provides a raceway formed by a single upwardly opening channel-shaped member which releasably attaches to the lower edge of the panel frame. Each leg of this channel member forms an openable side cover. At the end of a series of panels, a one-piece end cover snappingly engages the end of the channel member to close off the channel member and to provide a sturdy structure having a highly desirable appearance. When two such panels are joined to define a 90.degree. corner, then similar end covers can again be utilized, which end covers can be cut along predetermined score lines to define either windows or doors which readily accommodate either a flexible electrical connector joining the two panels, or communication cables which extend between adjacent panels.
