EVERETT, WASH.—The United States Patent and Trademark Office granted Electric Mirror patent US 8,835,789 B2 for its invention of KeenT Technology. KeenT is an energy-saving, environmentally-friendly technology that can be incorporated into any of Electric Mirror’s Lighted Mirrors. KeenT has three capacitive touch buttons that give hotel guests full control over eight light dimming settings, including a Night Light. KeenT has an intelligent sensor that causes the mirror to automatically dim after being on for one hour, offering almost a 60 percent reduction in lighted mirror energy costs.
Officially titled, “Apparatuses And Methods For Using A Capacitive Touch Controller With A Conductive Surface,” the recently awarded patent was filed in 2011.
“Innovation is paramount to us at Electric Mirror,” said Jim Mischel Jr., Electric Mirror President and CEO. “Our priority is to provide the best lighted mirrors and mirror TV technology in the world. Keen’s patent, like many of our others, represents a tremendous amount of engineering work, man hours, capital, and lastly, and maybe most importantly, jobs here in America.”
KeenT Technology, when added to any of the company’s lighted mirrors, can save hotels thousands of dollars a year in lighted mirror energy costs. “In addition to energy savings, hotel owners love KeenT for its functionality,” said Jon Johnston, Electric Mirror Senior Vice President. “Guests are blown away by having the ability to control the light level of their mirror with a simple touch.”
