A system automatically generates apparel collection imagery from user-provided imagery. The user-provided imagery includes images of people wearing one or more garments. The system uses segmenting analysis to analyze the user-provided image to identify locations of the garment. From the locations of the garments, the system can determine which garments from an apparel collection can be used to replace those in the user-provided imagery. The system uses pose estimation on the user-provided imagery and modifies a preview image of a replacement garment from the collection. This modified replacement garment image is used to replace the garment in the user-provided imagery.

A tool allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs in three dimensions before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. Based on a laser input file with a pattern, a laser will burn the pattern onto apparel. With the tool, the user will be able to create, make changes, and view images of a design, in real time, before burning by a laser. Input to the tool includes fabric template images, laser input files, and damage input. The tool allows adding of tinting and adjusting of intensity and bright point. The user can also move, rotate, scale, and warp the image input.

A structure has spaces that can accommodate at least two International Organization for Standardization compliant shipping containers. The structure has studs, joists, and rafters connected together above, besides, between, and in front of the spaces for the shipping containers. The structure provides for an attractive outdoor retail space with shading, allowing for signage, decorations, product display, ergonomics, and other retail design features. In an implementation, the structure is for a mobile retail space that is tailored for customizing and manufacture of the customized apparel, especially the laser finishing of products like jeans. The mobile retail space can be relocated to and deployed easily at various events, such as sports events and music festival venues.

Mannequin for the surface treatment of pants. Mannequin for the surface treatment of pants, comprising an upper support structure from which two legs extend, wherein each of said legs has an inflatable balloon arranged at its rear part. Each of said inflatable balloons has its outer lateral section folded upon itself at least once around a folding line extending from the upper edge to the lower edge of the balloon. The upper edge is fixed to the rear upper end of the corresponding leg and the lower edge is fixed to a rear intermediate point of the corresponding leg, such that the parts of the edges corresponding to the outer lateral section are also fixed to the leg of the mannequin.

A method for preparing a modified rubber introduces a reactive group into a high-performance short fiber by irritating the short fiber by ultraviolet light, and modifies the short fiber by a coupling agent to increase the compatibility of the short fiber with a rubber matrix, and finally, utilizes the charge repulsion of sodium lauryl sulfate to effectively avoid the agglomeration of the short fibers in the rubber matrix, which is benefit for obtaining the modified rubber. The present disclosure further provides a modified rubber prepared by the method and a bulletproof and puncture resistant tire prepared by the modified rubber, wherein a buffer layer is made by the modified rubber, and at least one of a tread, a belt ply and an inner liner is made by the modified rubber, and a cord ply is woven by twisted high-performance long fibers.

The present invention provides a chargeable sheath/core-structured fiber that contains a polypropylene-based resin as a main resin, wherein the sheath part contains (a) a carboxylic anhydride-modified polyolefin and (b) at least one antioxidant selected from the group consisting of a combined antioxidant a phenolic antioxidant and a phosphorus-based antioxidant, and sulfur-based antioxidants; and (c) an oil containing a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether represented by the general formula (I) as a finishing oil is deposited on the outer surface of the sheath part, and that can satisfy heat resistance and charge retainability. (In the formula, R.sup.1 represents a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 10 to 30 carbon atoms; R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and k is an integer of 1 to 4.)

The present invention relates to a surgical suture having excellent biocompatibility and low friction, and to a method for manufacturing same. The suture according to the present invention has excellent biocompatibility and low friction, thereby reducing pain that may occur in a patient during suturing and minimizing the occurrence of inflammation in cells at a suture site, and also has excellent contact properties with cells, thereby capable of being used for various medical and surgical operations.

A method of treating a fabric, where the method includes the steps of contacting a fabric with a treatment composition, where the treatment composition comprises a population of delivery particles having a shell that includes a polymeric material that is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and chitosan, and exposing the delivery particles that are on the surface of the fabric to ultraviolet (UV) light. A consumer product that includes such treatment compositions in containers that block or absorb ultraviolet light.
