Shaped Fit Sizing System

Номер: US20130312273A1
Автор: Tulin Kris
Принадлежит: LEVI STRAUSS & CO.

A revolutionary, new sizing and fitting system for jeans is based on the concept of shape, not size. This sizing and fitting system is organized around some basic body shapes categories: e.g., slight curve (straighter figure, flatter fanny), demi curve (evenly proportioned hip and seat) and bold curve (smaller waist, larger seat). To use the system, the consumer finds their shape using a shape measuring tool. The shape measuring tool calculates a shape category based on a differential of two measurements in the seat area. With this shape category information, the consumer can easily locate a pair of form-fitting jeans. The sizing and fitting system is also applicable to pants, shorts, skirts, and other clothing where form fit is desirable in the seat and hip area. 1a first sizing classification for pants, corresponding to fit for a first differential value between first and second body measurements in a first range, wherein the first body measurement is at a first position of a person, and the second body measurement is at a second position relative to first position;a second sizing classification for pants, corresponding to fit for a second differential value between first and second body measurements in a second range; anda third sizing classification for pants, corresponding to fit for a third differential value between first and second body measurements in a third range,wherein first pants of a given size in the first sizing classification has a first girth measurement at a first position at a first distance below a top of the pants,second pants of the given size in the second sizing classification has a second girth measurement at the first position at the first distance below the top of the pants,third pants of the given size in the third sizing classification has a third girth measurement at the first position at the first distance below the top of the pants, andthe first, second, and third girth measurements of the pants is about the same,wherein first pants ...

Disclosed embodiments provide a way to measure the size of an object using an electronic fabric. Embodiments are particularly well suited for measuring human body parts such as legs, arms, feet, and the like. The measurements are acquired simply by wearing a garment comprised of the electronic fabric. Electrical properties such as resistance and capacitance are measured. These electrical properties are converted to distance measurements.

An image forming apparatus may include a first and second mode. In the first mode, the image forming apparatus uses a second charging member to charge toner that remains on an intermediate transfer member and then transfers the charged, remaining toner to an image carrier in a primary transfer portion. In the second mode, the image forming apparatus transfers the remaining toner adhered to the second charging member in the first mode to the intermediate transfer member. Also in a second mode, the image forming apparatus controls so that a surface potential of the image carrier that reaches the primary transfer portion at a timing at which the remaining toner transferred to the intermediate transfer member passes through the primary transfer portion has a same polarity as that of a surface potential of the image carrier in the first mode and also has an absolute value smaller than that thereof. 1.

Using uv unwrapping to create manufacturing patterns for custom prints

Номер: US20150100145A1
Автор: Balamurugan Selvarajan
Принадлежит: Balamurugan Selvarajan

This invention is a method for automating the generation of manufacturing patterns for apparel and accessories directly from designs created on a 3-dimensional (3D) model. This differs from existing models in which users design “2D slices” of a 3D image created at various pre-defined angles. This invention includes the steps of: 1) Making the UV map of the 3D model exactly match the manufacturing pattern in shape and scale; 2) Positioning the various components in the UV map to facilitate the desired image or text flow; and 3) Using a UV unwrap method to produce the manufacturing patterns with the exact art and text on each component. Images and text are thereby allowed to span across seams and be accurately manufactured. Automation of this process ensures that the images and text on the manufacturing patterns are the exact same as that which the user designed.

A system determines an object-design for a three-dimensional model of an object. The object-design may exhibit a design continuity. The system breaks the object-design in to spatial patterns corresponding to the discrete surfaces making up the outward surface of the object. The system then generates flattened patterns by projecting the spatial patterns into a two-dimensional plane. The system prints the flattened patterns on to designated regions of material sheets in an orientation that preserves the design continuity of the object-design. The regions may be extracted from the sheets and then joined at their edges to form a cover for object that exhibits the continuity of the object design.
