Abstract: A magnetic mounting apparatus, comprising a first modular support member having an interchangeable first module configured to slide onto a second module, and a second support member. The first module includes a first receptacle having a first channel of a first width and a second channel of a second width greater than the first width. The first and second channels form a cavity with an opening at a first surface of the first module and which proceeds toward a second surface of the first module opposite to the first surface. The first module also includes a keyed housing channel and a catch. The second module includes a first magnet and a key for attachment to the first module. The second support member includes a second magnet that is oriented to mate with the first magnet of the first modular support member.

Abstract: A magnetic mounting apparatus for mounting objects having a first support member comprising a receptacle for receiving an accessory item to be mounted and a first magnet, and a second support member comprising a second magnet with an unlike polarity that creates an attractive force between the support members. The second and first magnets are configured so that placement of the second support member near the first support member causes the support members to secure each other in place on a surface via friction through their magnetic force and hold an object in place with the surface sandwiched in between the first and second support members.

Abstract: A method for providing personalized nutrition information to an individual comprising the following steps: (a) inputting personal data relating to an individual; (b) inputting data identifying at least one food product which the individual intends to purchase or consume; (c) accessing prestored information relating to the at least one food product which the individual intends to purchase or consume; (d) generating and outputting information about the at least one food product which the individual intends to purchase or consume pertinent to the input personal data.
