  • Publication number: 20210192606
    Abstract: A system for scanning a body to determine a body measurement data set for creation of a virtual avatar representative of a user's body. The system synthesizes a body-clothing image from clothing measurement data and the body measurement data. An avatar represents the real word user trying on or wearing the real-world clothing article. The system facilitates ordering or purchasing the real-world clothing article and facilitates sharing user data or user profile with other users.

  • Publication number: 20060206166
    Abstract: An apparatus for treating pain by electrical stimulation is disclosed. A lead is placed subcutaneously in the region of pain. The subcutaneous tissue is electrically stimulated to cause paresthesia. The method encompasses subcutaneous placement of an electrical lead near the region of pain and subsequent electrical stimulation of the tissue to cause paresthesia. In particular, an apparatus for treating intractable occipital neuralgia using percutaneous electrostimulation techniques is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5819259
    Abstract: An expert system apparatus employs a rule base and a knowledge base to perform media searching. The rule base is specified by means of a series of selected keywords and phrases which are entered in by a user. The phrases are further selected in conjunction with a General Information display enabling the user to select various phrases concerning a series of newspaper articles or media articles which are placed in the knowledge base of the system. By selecting topics such as article type, individual age level, focus of the article and topics of the article a user can then develop a rule base to enable the inference engine implemented by a computer to search the knowledge base and select those articles which are associated with the particular phrases which are indicated and selected by the user. Each phrase or keyword detected will cause tag words to be provided to further provide categories for the processed article.
