Abstract: A pet footwear article includes a sole and an upper. The upper is formed at least partly of fabric and having a top edge defining a top opening for receiving a paw of a pet and a lower edge being joined to the sole. A set of elastics bands extend laterally about the upper and provides a compressive force to the upper. The stretchable upper can promote a snug fit of the upper about the paw of the pet. The upper can have a vamp portion and a shaft portion, both of which are stretchable.

Abstract: An adjustable animal garment, the garment comprising a tubular body defining a front opening, a rear opening, a chest portion and a back portion. The garment further comprises a plurality of discrete elasticized areas formed along a length of at least the chest portion or the back portion and configured to render said at least chest portion or back portion stretchable substantially transversely to the length of the chest portion or the back portion between an extended position and a rest position; and a fastening system connectable to the chest portion or the back portion, said fastening system being adjustably closing an opening along the length of the chest portion or the back portion.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for using ant theory to personalize a workflow are described. One or more path segments in a data structure that represents a workflow may be identified, the one or more path segments corresponding to a path traversed by a user. A weight associated with each of the identified one or more path segments in the data structure may be increased. One or more weights in the data structure associated with a plurality of path segments may be decreased based on a temporal decay rate. A guidance activity that directs a user to a more heavily weighted path at a workflow decision point may be established.
