20090102429 | Input source detection for a battery charger - A system and method for determining if a USB port can source sufficient current to charge a rechargeable battery at a predetermined peak current level. Detection circuitry is disposed between the USB port and the battery. The detection circuitry includes a current source that is controlled to provide to the battery an increasing current that is sourced by the USB port. As the source current is increased from an initial value to a predetermined peak current source value, the output voltage of the USB port is monitored. If the USB port output voltage drops below a specified threshold voltage before the current source has ramped to the peak current source value, the load current is removed from the battery and an indication is provided that the USB port cannot provide the specified current. The detection process is then repeated after a specified delay interval. If the current source ramps up to the peak source current value and the USB port voltage has not decreased below the specified threshold voltage, charging of the rechargeable battery from the USB port continues at the peak source current. | 04-23-2009 |

20130170715 | GARMENT MODELING SIMULATION SYSTEM AND PROCESS - The present invention is directed to a system and method of simulating modeling a garment, comprising the steps of providing a dictionary having a plurality of figure frameworks, the plurality of figure frameworks comprising varying body characteristics and measurements, with each of the figure frameworks comprising at least one image and body reference data. The system providing a garment database comprising images and pairing data for a plurality of garments. It receives a user image and a garment selection and selects a figure framework in response to user input and garment selection. It extracts the facial region and determines a skin tone identifier from the user image. It renders a three dimensional user model from the user image and the selected figure framework to form a user model, shading based on the skin tone identifier. It the overlays and scales the selected garment on the user model, whereby the user model simulates the user wearing the selected garment. | 07-04-2013 |
