  • Patent number: 9717357
    Abstract: A monitoring system including one or more processors communicatively connected with a memory, one or more output interfaces, one or more connectivity interfaces and one or more sensors, is attached to a clothing frame. The one or more sensors sense one or more indicators of a status of a clothing item attached to the clothing frame, the one or more sensors attached to the clothing frame and connected to one or more processors, one or more output interfaces, and one or more connectivity interfaces. The monitoring system determines the status information for the clothing item based on the one or more indicators. The monitoring system selectively adjusts an output interface to display the status information. The monitoring system communicates the status information to one or more additional clothing frames via the one or more connectivity interfaces.

  • Publication number: 20160321547
    Abstract: A computer receives information detailing the wardrobe of the user, including apparel and accessories, stored in a wardrobe database. The computer receives the schedule of the user and searches the schedule for keywords associated with dress codes and locational information in order to identify the dress code and locations of scheduled events. The computer cross references the determined dress code and weather conditions with suitable clothing in the wardrobe of the user then sends a signal to receivers in the wardrobe to indicate to the user which articles of clothing are appropriate for the weather and occasions of a particular day.

  • Publication number: 20160079059
    Abstract: An approach to manufacturing an elliptical semiconductor wafer includes a structure for an elliptical semiconductor wafer with a crystal direction, wherein the crystal direction is provided by a seed crystal orientation. The structure of the elliptical semiconductor wafer has a minor radius for the elliptical semiconductor wafer and a major radius for the elliptical semiconductor wafer wherein the major radius is greater than the minor radius.
