  • Publication number: 20130254963
    Abstract: Two-piece drysuit whereby the top is combined with the lower section by means of a series of overlapping flaps that combine to create a less bulky seal with greater flexibility and comfort to the wearer. The present invention also allows the use of materials in the seal between the 2 pieces that are more stable in ultraviolet light and salt water than those required by the inventions mentioned above thereby providing improved durability.

  • Publication number: 20130036628
    Abstract: An article of footwear for providing traction on a wet surface having a water-durable upper made from an elastic flexible material and configured to conform to a foot, a slip-resistant sole, a lacing system, and a heel support. The footwear has a stretchable foot entry opening which encircles and substantially conforms to an ankle of a wearer, keeping out water. The upper is made from an elastic flexible composite which is constructed from a neoprene foam, and fabric laminated to the foam. The foam may have perforations which may not extend through the fabric, allowing liquids and vapor to escape the footwear. The fabric may be coated or treated to provide functions, such as hydrophobicity or oleophobicity.

  • Publication number: 20120276332
    Abstract: Composite materials for use in garments or footwear, and a process for manufacture, and use thereof. Composite materials may have one or more functional properties including water repellency, antimicrobial function, insulation, moisture wicking, directional moisture transfer, body heat reflection, exterior heat reflection, body heat redistribution through conduction, as well as prevention of body heat loss through heat conduction.

  • Publication number: 20060265207
    Abstract: A computer system localizes programming models. Given a model having one or more elements, each element has an element name, and each element name is in a language of an author of the model. For each element name, the invention system stores corresponding character strings (or string values) for generating the element name in different languages. During display of the given model in a certain locale, the present invention obtains the stored respective character strings of each element name in the language of the certain locale and uses the obtained character strings to display each element name in the language of the certain locale.

  • Publication number: 20060117037
    Abstract: Computer method and apparatus provides lightweight stereotypes in a programming model. An alternative to applied profiles is disclosed. A keyword list or list of strings is recorded as an annotation to a model element. The keywords are indicative of applied stereotypes of the model element, where the stereotypes are empty or are used as labels. The list of strings effectively augments the collection of applied stereotypes of the model element.

  • Publication number: 20060101379
    Abstract: Computer method and apparatus implements redefinition of features in a programming model. The invention method includes (i) providing a model element having a feature with a redefinition such that the feature is a redefined feature; (ii) storing indications of the redefinition; and (iii) interpreting the stored indications and generating therefrom a model that implements the redefined feature. Redefined features include redefined property names, redefined property type and redefined multiplicity of a property.

  • Publication number: 20060101381
    Abstract: A computer method and system for implementing subsetting properties and subsets constraints in a programming model. The method and system provide a model element having a subsetting property or a property with a subsets constraint. The invention stores subsets constraints information as annotations to the model element. An interpreter member interprets the stored information and generates therefrom a model that implements subsetted properties with their superset of values and implements subsetting properties with their subset of values.

  • Publication number: 20060101380
    Abstract: A computer method and system preserves derived union constraints and enforces the same in generated target code. The method includes (a) providing a model element having one or more derived union properties, (b) tracking derived union constraints from the derived union properties of the model element, and (c) interpreting the tracked derived union constraints and generating therefrom an implemenation that enforces the derived union constraint. Tracking may be by annotating the model element accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20060101376
    Abstract: Computer method and system improves implementation of modeling language profiles. The invention method and system enables user definition of an extension and application of the defined extension to a model element. During runtime, a metamodel object is dynamically created for representing the defined extension, and a link is dynamically generated. The link provides a reference between the metamodel object and the model element.
