  • Publication number: 20230375169
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a bathroom mirror lighting system comprising a mirror, a light source, a sensor, and a control circuit operably coupled to the light source and the sensor. The control circuit receives a sensor signal from the sensor indicative of at least one of a user's distance from the sensor, a user's position, a user's posture, a motion of the user towards or away from the sensor, or a task being performed by the user. The control circuit then transmits a control signal to the light source causing the light source to alter its light output based on the sensor signal from the sensor.

  • Publication number: 20220178122
    Abstract: A sink system is provided. The sink system is configured for coupling within a recessed cabinet space. The sink system includes a cabinet module and a sink module coupled to an upper end of the cabinet module. The sink module includes a sink basin and a faucet. The sink system further includes a water delivery system configured to receive a flow of water from a utility line and selectively provide the flow of water to the sink module based on a control signal received from a controller. The controller may be a wired or wireless puck that is positioned near the sink basin. The water delivery system may further include a water filtration system, and the digital control valve may provide the flow of water to the water filtration system before the flow of water is provided to the sink module.

  • Patent number: 7614405
    Abstract: A cosmetic compact includes a base and a lid. The base defines an inside surface and at least one receptacle for storing a cosmetic item extending from the inside surface into the base. The lid is coupled with the base in a manner allowing the lid to rotate relative to the base about a rotational axis. The rotational axis is substantially perpendicular to the inside surface of the base. The lid is configured to rotatably transition from a closed position where the lid covers the at least one receptacle and an open position where the at least one receptacle is accessible by a user. Other cosmetic compacts and associated methods are also disclosed.
