The authors recall definitions and basic properties of structures important in quantum theories (such as orthomodular poset, orthoalgebra, set of effects, difference poset) and connections between them. They state when a subset of a difference poset is orthomodular by means of triangle closedness and give several characterizations of observables with a Boolean range. This generalizes results of \textit{P. Lahti} and \textit{M. Maczyński} [J. Math. Phys. 33, 4133-4138 (1992; Zbl 0769.60101)]. They study Boolean powers (bounded, resp.) of difference posets: show that it is a difference poset and investigate properties of the embedding of a difference poset into its Boolean power and the existence and properties of product states on Boolean powers. Since a Boolean power is a special kind of a tensor product, its connection with quantum measurement is discussed.
