A mirror system includes a base mirror assembly and an adjustable mirror assembly. The adjustable mirror assembly is coupled to the base mirror assembly. The adjustable mirror assembly includes an adjustable hinge system that facilitates movement of the adjustable mirror assembly relative to the base mirror assembly. The adjustable hinge system includes a first bracket, a second bracket, a hinge, and a third bracket. The first bracket is coupled to the base mirror assembly. The second bracket is coupled to the first bracket. The hinge is coupled to the adjustable mirror assembly. The third bracket is coupled to the hinge and the second bracket. The third bracket is coupled to the second bracket via a first screw such that the base mirror assembly is coupled to the adjustable mirror assembly. Rotation of the first screw causes movement of the adjustable mirror assembly relative to the base mirror assembly.

Disclosed is a drinking device comprising an image element configured to produce a lighted image against the drinking device.

A modular display case having a chamber for holding an item to be displayed, such as a folded flag, as well as a chamber for housing an illuminating LED strip within the base of the case. The case is made from multiple layers of material spaced apart with ring spacers between the front panel and back panel which are connected with fasteners. The front panel of the case is removably attached to the body of the case and is seated within a tray in the integrated base. The item held in the display chamber is visible through slats between the layers as well as through the viewing windows on the front and rear panels of the case. The rear panel of the case is generally solid whereas the front panel is removably attached to the body of the case and thereby permits access to the display chamber.

The invention discloses portable beverage vessel for storing beverage to be consumed by a human, having a beverage container in which the beverage is stored; and an electronic device having a vessel controller, a transmitter and a receiver, said vessel controller being adapted to communicate with a beverage dispenser by exchanging messages using the transmitter and receiver of the electronic device; wherein the vessel controller is adapted to send an identification message to the beverage dispenser, by which the beverage dispenser can identify the portable beverage vessel. The invention also discloses a communicating between the portable beverage vessel and a fluid dispenser and a personal electronic device.

A mirror assembly can include a housing, a mirror, and a light source. In certain embodiments, the mirror includes a light pipe configured to emit a substantially constant amount of light along a periphery of the mirror. In some embodiments, the mirror assembly includes a sensor assembly. The sensor assembly can be configured to adjust the amount of emitted light based on the position of a user in relation to the mirror. Certain embodiments of the mirror include an algorithm to adjust light based on the position of a user relative to the mirror, the level of ambient light, and/or the activation of different light modes.

An artificial lighted tree is presented with power routed through the trunk and three-wire safety grounding. The tree comprising a fused electrical plug having improved safety features comprising: a body portion surrounding respective first ends of a first, a second and a third electrical wire, the body portion further comprising a fuse holder embedded within an upper region of the body portion, and a fuse adapted to be releasably secured within the fuse holder via releasable securing means, a live blade in communication with the first end of the first electrical wire, a neutral blade in communication with the first end of the second electrical wire, a ground pin receptacle in communication with the first end of the third electrical wire, wherein the body portion surrounds and maintains the live blade, neutral blade, and ground pin receptacle in spaced apart orientation corresponding to polarized sockets on an electrical wall outlet.

Provided is a carpet having transmissiveness and capable of retaining quality including the light transmissiveness, where in one embodiment, the carpet comprises a pile layer in which a plurality of pile yarns are tufted on the front face of a primary base fabric; and a backing layer disposed on the back face side of the primary base fabric, wherein the total light transmittance of the carpet is 0.5% or higher; the lightness when the carpet is viewed from the front face side of the primary base fabric is 30 or higher; and the thickness loss rate under dynamic loading accompanied by friction of the carpet is 25% or lower.

Disclosed is an artificial tree having a plurality of electrified tree sections that couple together to provide power and/or command signals to devices connected thereto. One or more tree sections may have a trunk portion, one or more electrical connectors having a plurality of terminals, branches, a light string, and an electrical distribution system located at least partially within the trunk portion. A first tree section may be configured to couple to a second tree section such that an electrical connector of the first tree section is in electrical connection with an electrical connector of the second tree section, thereby mechanically and electrically connecting the first tree section to the second tree section such that power and/or the control data are transmitted to the second tree section. Further, each trunk segment may include an axial electrical connector that permits adjacent trunk segments to connect in a plurality of radial orientations relative to each other.
