Abstract: Indigo-dyed garments are treated with an anti-ozone agent to prevent ozone-related degradation of the garments before laser finishing. Without treatment, the garments can exhibit color loss (e.g., color change or fading) from exposure to ozone in the atmosphere. The indigo-dyed garments with anti-ozone treatment can serve as base templates in a laser finishing process flow. The anti-ozone treatment of the base templates can include a rinse including an ascorbic acid or vitamin C constituent during a base preparation process. Then quantities of these base templates can manufactured and stored for periods of time without exhibiting ozone-related degradation effects.

Abstract: Delayed finishing of apparel products, such as by way of laser finishing, allows an operating model that reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduce product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Improved aspects include design, development, planning, merchandising, selling, making, and delivering. The model uses fabric templates, each of which can be used to produce a multitude of finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mandarin phonetic inputting apparatus by using sixteen keys. It achieves the purpose of conveniently operating for those people are not skilled in typewriting, and provides a capability of detecting ambiguous tones in mandarin language for degrading reentering caused by misunderstanding the ambiguous tones, and furthermore, to serve as a user input interface in a handhold calculator with more economical efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for recording user behavior information when an inputting scheme of any kind of language is applied. To extract the user behavior information in the future for achieving the purpose of degrading disadvantage of reentering that caused by misunderstanding or inputting errors. The present invention structurally includes an inputting unit, a word and phrase database unit, a user behavior database unit, a word and phrase generating unit, and a word and phrase outputting unit. After inputting words and phrases information from the inputting unit, the word and phrase generating unit generates meaningful words or phrases by using the words and phrases information, and in accordance with the information of word and phrase database unit, and information from the user behavior database unit. Finally, the word and phrase outputting unit outputs the meaningful words or phrases to the user.
