MIRROR MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
An exemplary support structure for a planar faceplate includes ribs extending substantially perpendicular to a bottom surface of the planar faceplate. Spaced apart projections extend from the ribs towards the bottom surface of the planar faceplate and have distal ends that engage and are secured to the bottom surface. Each distal end defines an area with a numerical value that is less than the thickness of the planar faceplate measured in the same measurement units as the area to limit any stress formations induced in the planar faceplate due to thermal changes from reaching a top surface of the planar faceplate. Alternatively, the projections may be spaced apart mesas extending outward from a rigid material.
Exercise storage system
An exercise storage system includes a storage compartment including at least one storage element. Exercise equipment is stored on the storage elements. A door is connected to the storage compartment with a hinge such that the viewing angle of the door is adjustable. A display on the door includes a backlit display and a mirrored display. A user may select exercise equipment from the storage compartment and perform an exercise activity while viewing the display.

Low-profile smart mirror with backside mount
A smart mirror attaches directly to a larger mirror, window pane, or other base structure in a fashion meant to appear as low profile as possible, meaning the smart mirror extends a very short distance outward from the mounting surface of the base structure, and there are no visible attachment devices. The smart mirror appears to be a part of the surface upon which it is mounted and appears to blend in seamlessly when the base structure is a mirror. Additionally, the smart mirror is easy to install onto the base structure with thin adhesive gel pads that leave behind no residue and are completely reusable. This enables the user to mount the device onto any smooth surface and to be able to easily move the device when desired. The smart mirror does not have any integral, built-in camera or microphone, but can be added as separate add-on peripheral modules.

HANGING APPARATUS
An over-the-door hanging apparatus which includes a mirror apparatus having a rear surface, at least one mounting element located on the rear surface of the mirror apparatus, and at least one over-the-door hanger. The over-the-door hanger may include an elongate member, a bracket for engaging a top edge of a door, a first hook punched into the elongate member and being aligned with a first aperture formed through the elongate member, and a second hook punched into the elongate member and being aligned with a second aperture formed through the elongate member. The mirror apparatus may be slidably mounted to the at least one over-the-door hanger through slidable mating between the at least one mounting element on the rear surface of the mirror apparatus and one of the first and second hooks of the at least one over-the-door hanger.

PORTABLE BEAUTY LIGHT KIT
The disclosure concerns a portable beauty light kit, comprising a power management and control unit “PMC” and a plurality of light modules. The PMC comprises: a plurality of charging bays, and a signal transmitting circuit. Each of the individual light modules comprises: a light emitting source, a signal receiving circuit, and a housing. Each of the individual light modules is designed to nest within one of the charging bays of the PMC, wherein they receive a battery charge. Additionally, the light modules are designed to be taken from the charging bays of the PMC and removeably attached to a mirror. The signal receiving circuit of each light module is configured to receive a wireless signal communicated from the signal transmitting circuit of the PMC. The signal receiving circuit modulates a light emitting state associated with each light emitting source based on the signal communicated from the signal transmitting circuit.
MIRROR DISPLAY HAVING TOUCH PANEL
One aspect of the present invention provides a touch panel-equipped mirror display that can reduce distortion and ghosting in mirror images while also reducing the rainbow effect in displayed images. The touch panel-equipped mirror display according to one aspect of the present invention includes, in order from a rear side: a display device that includes a polarizer; a touch panel; and a mirror plate that includes a reflective polarizer and a substrate, wherein the reflective polarizer and the substrate are fixed together, and wherein the touch panel does not create a phase difference in light. It is preferable that the substrate be a glass substrate with a thickness of greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 0.4 mm.
