  • Apparatus and method for sharing data among multiple terminal devices
    Patent number: 8438239
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for propagating data between multiple terminal devices includes determining the functional operability of a plurality of devices to assess which devices are properly configured. If a device is properly configured, operating the device in a transmit-mode to transmit functional operability data. If a device is not properly configured, operating the device in a receive-mode to receive the functional operability data. Coupling a transmitting device and at least one receiving device to a plurality of ports that are operably connected together so that the transmitting device and receiving device share the functional operability data.
    Type: Grant

  • Programmatic fitting algorithm in garment simulations
    Publication number: 20020130890
    Abstract: A method to programmatically map similar virtual garment panels onto a virtual body generally including the steps of selecting a first virtual garment panel, positioning the first virtual garment panel on an area of the virtual body, selecting a second, similar garment panel, and programmatically mapping the second, similar garment panel onto the first virtual garment panel.

  • Targeted force application in clothing simulations
    Publication number: 20020126132
    Abstract: Disclosed is a programmatic use of targeted forces to reduce non-realistic effects in simulating clothing on a body. These forces are applied adaptively to instances of clothing-body and clothing-clothing interaction to compensate for behavior of the simulation system that produces effects that do not reflect the actual look of a person wearing that article of clothing.
