Abstract: A system and method for generating a proportionately scaled three dimensional model of a user, having an article of clothing fitted is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the method comprises, receiving a plurality of images displaying a body of said user, using said plurality of images to generate one or more measurements of one or more portions of said body of said user, using said one or more measurements to generate said proportionately scaled three dimensional model of said body of said user, fitting said article of clothing to said proportionately scaled three dimensional model of said body of said user; and providing said proportionately scaled three dimensional model having said article of clothing fitted thereon for display on a user interface of an electronic device of said user.

Abstract: Conventional packet network nodes react to congestion in the packet network by dropping packets in a manner which is perceived by users to be indiscriminate. In embodiments of the invention, indiscriminate packet discards are prevented by causing packets to be discarded on lower priority flows and flow aggregates. Further action is taken to reduce the likelihood of packet discards. When an aggregate set of flows raises a congestion alarm, action is taken to try to increase aggregate capacity by excising capacity from pre-assigned donor aggregates. A donor aggregate may be carrying flows, for example, classified as best effort. Another type of donor capacity is donor re-assignable unused capacity. Aggregates may have capacity added either up to a defined limit or, temporarily, exceeding any limit provided there is free capacity available, but removable back to the defined limit when other aggregates need increased capacity and are below their defined limits.

Abstract: Packet network node and method of operating packet network node. Conventional packet network nodes react to congestion in packet network by dropping packets in a manner which is perceived by users to be indiscriminate. In the described system, indiscriminate packet discards are prevented by causing packets to be discarded on lower priority flows and flow aggregates. Further action is taken to reduce the likelihood of packet discards through: (1) classification of flows that are not observable at the point in the network where flow-based packet discards are deployed, but are consuming bandwidth and signaling classification information to flow-based packet discard function or a flow-based monitoring function or network management function; (2) classification of flows making use of extended monitoring functions that are not co-located with a flow-based packet discard function, where extended monitoring functions may perform monitoring of a flow or a group of flows over a period of time.

Abstract: A mirrored photographing system is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a mirrored photographing system comprises a back plate, a mirror, and a camera. The mirror is mounted to the back plate, which provides structural support. The mirror has a viewing aperture and a reflective surface covering at least a portion of the front surface of the mirror for self-viewing by a subject standing in front of the mirror. The camera is positioned between the back plate and the mirror and aligned with the viewing aperture for the camera to view the subject therethrough. The camera is configured for electronic wireless communication with a remote electronic device to at least one of (i) receive directions therefrom and (ii) to forward captured photographs thereto.

Abstract: Conventional packet network nodes react to congestion in the packet network by dropping packets in a manner which is perceived by users to be indiscriminate. In embodiments of the present invention, indiscriminate packet discards are prevented by causing packets to be discarded according to bandwidth allocations that intelligently track flow sending rates. Flows are allocated bandwidth based on policy information. Where such policy information indicates that the flow should be treated as delay-sensitive, the present invention includes means to allocate an initial minimum rate that will be guaranteed and such flows will also have the use of an additional capacity that varies depending on the number of such flows that currently share an available pool of capacity. This provides a congestion alleviation method which is less annoying to users since communications that have been in existence for longer are less susceptible to component packets being deleted.
