  • Patent number: 11164381
    Abstract: An improved system to provide a clothing model in augmented reality and/or virtual reality is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system provides a fully simulated garment, on the user's device, in an augmented reality or virtual reality display. In one embodiment, the process uses a parameterized smart garment model which enables real-time interaction with the garment on a device such as a mobile phone or tablet, with limited memory and processing power. In one embodiment, the system permits nearly instantaneous alteration of garment sizes. Because the garment is modeled to accurately reflect physical details, the lay of the garment changes as the size of the garment or body changes.

  • Patent number: 8726393
    Abstract: An overall cyber security risk diagram is generated from a hierarchy of determined KPI's by combining a Procedures and Protocol KPI determined from values assigned to answers to questions presented to organization personnel implementing a control systems, with a Group Security Policies KPI that is determined from system-wide policy information and settings of the automation system by an automated processing device tool, and a Computer Settings KPI determined from device setting data collected from individual system devices by the automated processing device tool and relevant to cyber security. The device setting data comprises service areas unique to each device that are not assessable by review of the domain data collected and used to determine the Group Security Policies KPI. Each level of the hierarchy of determined KPI's may be used to generate a representation of relative risk of a cyber-security attribute.

  • Publication number: 20110317222
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for dynamically halftoning image data, substantially in real-time. Halftone threshold values are calculated and stored in memory, and halftone output values are calculated for the portions of the image data that will be displayed on a display device. Halftone screen parameters may be modified, and new halftone screen threshold values may be calculated for any affected halftone screens. For unaffected halftone screens, the previously stored threshold values may be retrieved from memory. In addition, the portion of the image to be displayed may be modified, and the halftone output values of the new portion may be calculated and then displayed.

  • Patent number: 6741262
    Abstract: A method and interface for displaying and configuring color management settings for printing devices is provided. The user interface provides a graphical representation of the color workflow as it takes place on the printing device. From the user interface, the user configures various page elements and color models; such as RGB, CMYK, Spot Color and Black using pull down menus of options and other interface elements. Available options include color space transformations, color corrections and printing methods. Interface mapping changes in real time to reflect the user's modifications to the color management settings at the various points of the workflow.
