Millions of packages get shipped and stolen from home door steps, mail often get placed in wrong mailboxes and sometimes the mailman or package carrier needs to speak to someone at or from the residence, Video Smart Package Pillar” was created with all of these issues of the world in mind, combining the idea of a Pillar, compartmentalized, with two compartments—a mail compartment and package compartment and a one to two doors in rear to obtain packages that have been delivered. While leaving an original mail pull down opening for the mail being delivered.

An apparatus to provide a source of light includes a lighted mirror. The lighted mirror is configured for installation within a building. A single electrical power circuit provides a source of electrical power to the lighted mirror from the building. The single electrical power circuit is either in an ON state or an OFF state. The lighted mirror includes a nightlight system. The nightlight system includes a battery. The battery is electrically connected to charge when the single electrical circuit is in the ON state. The nightlight system includes a first sensor. The first sensor is configured to receive electrical power from the battery and to measure a first value for a first parameter from an area proximate to the lighted mirror. The nightlight system includes a nightlight. The nightlight is electrically connected to receive electrical power from the battery. The nightlight system has an ON state and an OFF state and control logic. The control logic receives the first value and turns the nightlight to an ON state when the first value is above a first threshold, thereby providing a source of light from the nightlight. When the single electrical power circuit is in the ON state, electrical power is inhibited from the nightlight and the nightlight is in the OFF state.

A mirror assembly can include a housing, a mirror, and a light source. In certain embodiments, the mirror is rotatable within a support portion of the mirror assembly. In some embodiments, the mirror assembly 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.

A beverage vessel having an upper opening and a closure element with a locking mechanism and an actuation element, a light distribution element arranged at the closure element, and a light emitter positioned such that the light emitted by the light emitter passes at least a part of the volume of the beverage container before entering the light distribution element. The light emitter may display information relating to the beverage including temperature and fill level. The beverage vessel may be utilized in a method of monitoring a beverage consumption and a consumption of minerals.

A storage cabinet is disclosed. The storage cabinet includes a housing, a movement system and a computing device. The housing includes a plurality of walls and a door. The walls and door define an internal storage cavity. The movement system is operatively connected to the door and configured to control vertical movement of the door. The movement system is configured to move the door between, at least, a fully closed and fully open position based on inputs provided by a user. The computing device is operatively connected to the movement system. The computing device includes a processor and memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive an input from a user, and generate control signal(s) for the movement system based on the input from the user. The control signals cause the movement system to move the door into a different position.

A themed hanger comprises a hook portion and a body in which the hook portion displays an outlined image or silhouette of a theme such as superheroes, blockbuster movies, animals, or letters. The themed hanger can interact with the user using motion technology. The themed hanger is attractive, educational, and useful.

A speech-controlled vanity mirror is provided, which includes a vanity mirror body, a first microphone, a second microphone and a speech recognition control device provided on the vanity mirror body. The speech recognition control device includes a music control device and a speech control device. The first microphone is connected to the music control device, and transmits the audio signal acquired from a loudspeaker to the music control device. A filter in the music control device filters the audio signal to eliminate the interference of the audio played by the loudspeaker in speech instructions of the user. The second microphone is connected to the speech control device, and transmits the speech instructions of the user to the speech control device. The speech control device adjusts and controls a multifunctional device on the vanity mirror body according to the speech instructions. It is convenient for users to operate, and the recognition rate and accuracy of the speech instruction are high.

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.
