  • Patent number: 8295970
    Abstract: Customers obtain customized textile materials by selecting style, shape, size, pattern and color for an undyed textile product. Based on a selection made by the customer, the textile product is transformed by a dyeing operation performed on a single item (or multiple items selected to be dyed the same) to yield a product, such as a shirt, pants, or jacket, which has a color and pattern of his or her own choosing, in the size and style he or she desires. The process can be performed in a retail setting using a dye apparatus which allows the process to be viewed by the customer. To enhance the educational and entertainment experience of the customer, the dyeing operation can be performed in a transparent tank or water kettle in the retail outlet so that the customer can view, for example, the garment as it is being dyed to the customer's specifications.

  • Publication number: 20110157251
    Abstract: A method of reducing power consumption caused by leakage current in an interface circuit between modules that are driven by different power sources is disclosed. The interface circuit includes an output driver that operates by a first power supply voltage in a first mode and does not operate in a second mode in which the first power supply voltage is prevented from being applied, an input buffer that is operated by a second power supply voltage in the first and second modes, and a transmission line that connects an output terminal of the output driver to an input terminal of the input buffer. The interface circuit further includes a current leakage prevention circuit that prevents, in the second mode, a current leakage in the input buffer between a second power supply voltage source that supplies the second power supply voltage and a ground voltage source.

Based on a selection made by the customer, the textile product is transformed by a dyeing operation performed on a single item (or multiple items selected to be dyed the same) to yield a product, such as a shirt, pants, or jacket, which has a color and pattern of his or her own choosing, in the size and style he or she desires. The process can be performed in a retail setting using a dye apparatus which allows the process to be viewed by the customer. Preferably, the textile material is constructed from yarns which include cationic cellulosic fiber alone or in combination with natural or synthetic fibers, and using anionic dyes, such as a fiber reactive dye, such that the dye is exhausted during the process and effluent from the dye machine is environmentally friendly without excess dye, salts, and alkalis.
