Secure wall hanger and methods of use
A secure wall hanger having lateral supports is described. In at least some embodiments, the secure wall hanger includes a main body, two lateral supports projecting from the main body, a penetrating element at one end of the main body, and retaining element on an end of the main body opposite to the penetrating element. In some embodiments, each of the lateral supports, as well as the end of the main body having the retaining element, has a securing flap.
METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A FRAME
A method of assembling a frame which includes positioning a first frame member adjacent to a second frame member, the first and second frame members having channel with a mounting surface; providing a reinforcement bracket having a plate with a front surface and a rear surface, a first mounting element extending from the rear surface of the plate, and a second mounting element extending from the rear surface of the plate; applying an adhesive along at least one of: (1) the mounting surfaces of the frame members; and (2) the first and second mounting elements of the reinforcement bracket; and positioning the first and second mounting elements into the channels and pressing the first and second mounting elements against the mounting surfaces to adhesively attach the reinforcement bracket to the first and second frame members and thereby couple the first and second frame members together.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCATIONAL IMAGE PROCESSING
Mobile data processing Systems (MSs) interact with systems in their vicinity, and with each other, in communications and interoperability. Graphical objects are recognized in an image field of view, for example to calculate, determine, or confirm location information.

Reflective video display apparatus for interactive training and demonstration and methods of using same
A smart mirror can show live or recorded streaming video of an instructor performing a workout in a package that is attractive and unobtrusive enough to hang in a living room. The smart mirror includes a mirror surface with a fully reflecting section and a partially reflecting section. A display behind the partially reflecting section shows the video when the smart mirror is on and is almost invisible when the smart mirror is off. The smart mirror also has a speaker, a microphone, and a camera to enable a user to view the video content and interact with the instructor. The smart mirror may connect to the user's smart phone, a peripheral device (e.g., a Bluetooth speaker) to augment user experience, a biometric sensor to provide biometric data to assess user performance, and/or a network router to connect the smart mirror to a content provider, an instructor, and/or other users.
Network setup for digital picture frames
A picture frame and methods of setup, gifting, and/or use. Network connection allows digital frames to be set up remotely by a first user for a second user. The first user can upload photos from electronic devices or from photo collections of community members before the second user receives the frame device. The frame is thus ready for display upon powering on by the second user. An integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer and can capture gesture-based feedback. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers. The photos can be filtered and cropped at the receiver side. Clustering photos by content is used to improve display and to respond to photo viewer desires.

Mirror with illuminated extruded frame
A frame lit mirror component includes an extruded frame member. The extruded frame member further includes a mirror mounting edge. The mirror mounting edge extends along a longitudinal direction of the extruded frame member. The mirror mounting edge is sized to receive an edge of a mirror. A light source volume extends along the longitudinal direction of the extruded frame member. An angle exists between the mirror mounting edge and the light source volume. The light source volume is sized to receive a light source, such that when the light source is in an on-state light radiates from the light source volume.

System for mounting objects to a structure
A system for mounting an object on a structure includes a pivoting mounting bracket portion and a rail portion. The mounting bracket portion includes a front plate that is pivotally coupled to a back plate. The rail portion is shaped in the form a C-channel. The back plate is sized and shaped to snugly fit within the C-channel of the rail portion. The rail portion is configured to be attached to the structure, and the front plate is configured to be attached to the object.
