Mirror with integral light pipe illumination
A vehicle vanity visor assembly including an illuminated mirror. The assembly includes a component including a mirror portion and a light pipe portion, with the two portions separated by an air gap. The component may be a single piece of mirror stock. The light pipe portion includes one or more corners extending around the mirror portion, and the light pipe portion defines air gaps in the corner to assist in guiding light through the corners.
Mirror with zone of selected magnification and discretionary illumination
A method and a mirror selectively magnify an image reflected by a discrete portion of a reflective area of the mirror while an image reflected by the remainder of the reflective area outside the discrete portion remains unchanged. A light-transmitting area is placed within the reflective area, outside of and adjacent to the discrete portion, and a light source is located for directing light through the light-transmitting area to illuminate a space adjacent to and confronting at least the discrete portion of the reflective area.

PORTABLE CONTAINER FOR CONTAINING FOUNDATION CREAM
A portable foundation cream container includes a container main body having a lid. An inner container has a space for accommodating a cosmetic liquid therein. An upper plate covers the cosmetic liquid accommodating space, and a push plate for supporting the cosmetic liquid and pushing up the cosmetic liquid. A puff is at the upper plate. An air inflow passage is formed in the container main body to allow air to be introduced from outside of the container main body into the inner container. A one-way check valve is provided at one side of the air inflow passage. A shape resilient body is formed outside the container main body, wherein the shape resilient body has a vent hole at the center of the shape resilient body and is compressible and recoverable.

Mirror for mobile devices
A mirror for a mobile device, the mirror configured as a flexible multilayered laminate electrostatically and removably adhered to a viewing screen or other smooth surface of the mobile device. The laminate has at least one reflective layer adhered to an optically transparent bottom layer made of a plastic-silicone material. In another embodiment, the laminate includes a switchable film layer that when current is applied becomes optically opaque, allowing a split screen use of the viewing screen. For instance, when current is applied to the laminate, half of the viewing screen is a mirror and the other half allows use of software and other features of the mobile device. In yet another embodiment, a true mirror is created using software to create a reflective surface beneath a glass of the viewing screen. Control of the mirror using software and physical switches are also provided. LED lighting is also provided.

ADAPTIVE LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR A MIRROR COMPONENT AND A METHOD OF CONTROLLING AN ADAPTIVE LIGHTING SYSTEM
An adaptive lighting system (100), a (virtual) mirror arrangement, a method of controlling light sources of an adaptive light sources, a method of controlling a virtual mirror and a computer program product are provided. The adaptive lighting system is for a mirror component that is configured to show a mirror image of the user at the mirror surface of the mirror component. The adaptive lighting system comprises a plurality of individually controllable light sources (111 . . . 119), a sensor (102), and a controller (104). The sensor detects a relative orientation of the head of the user with respect to the mirror surface. The controller generates control signals (121 . . . 129) for the individually controllable light sources on the basis of the sensor signal. The controller generates the control signals to obtain a lower emission of light towards eyes of the user if the sensor signal indicates that the head is turned left sidewards, upwards, right sidewards and/or downwards.
