20140108208 | PERSONALIZED VIRTUAL SHOPPING ASSISTANT - A personalized virtual shopping assistant system and method includes a plurality of individualized avatars which can be used by shoppers to see how various articles of clothing or accessories would look on themselves. The individualized avatars are created from a 3D body scan of all or a portion of the shopper to create an avatar which accurately reflects the size and shape of the shopper. When performing online shopping, the shopper retrieves his or her avatar for display on a display screen of a smartphone, tablet, computer, kiosk, or other device or system, and places computer representations of articles of clothing or accessories on the avatar. The computer representations are provided by the manufacturers or retailers or other sources. In some configurations, the computer representations may be manipulated to shrink or expand to fit the avatar. The personalized virtual shopping assistant system and method permits the shopper to “see” how a particular product or group of products “looks” on their body since they will be presented with the item(s) on an avatar of themselves. | 04-17-2014 |

20090278486 | Motor Controlling Method for Rotating a Lift Arm of an Adjustable Bed according to a Predetermined Bending Angle of the Lift Arm - In an adjustable bed, a bending angle of a lift arm is precisely adjusted according to generated signals corresponding to a wheel rotated by a motor of the adjustable bed or according to a current state related to the wheel. The signals are generated according to whether light is obstructed by gratings, according to whether a magnetic force is detected, or according to a change of a magnetic field. The current state is current resistance of a variable resistor disposed near the wheel. | 11-12-2009 |

20150220966 | RESTAURANT RESERVATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A mobile App enables customers and restaurants to communicate with one another to negotiate reduced costs for meals at specified reservation times when the restaurant is otherwise light for business. As an example, the App enables the customer to specify either a percentage reduction on the total bill or a budget price for the entire meal. The restaurant may either accept the offer or provide counteroffers. Once agreed upon, if the customer is a no show, the customer compensates the restaurant for operational costs in saving the table by paying a previously agreed upon penalty fee. | 08-06-2015 |

20100147418 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MARKING PLASTIC CONTAINERS - An apparatus for marking plastic containers, comprising a marking device which applies a marking to the containers and a checking device which checks for the presence of the marking on the container. According to the invention, the checking device comprises a temperature-sensitive sensor. | 06-17-2010 |
20120032364 | Method and Apparatus for Operating a Plant for the Treatment of Containers with Controlled Parameter Selection - A method of operating a plant for the treatment of containers may include treating the containers with pre-set treatment parameters by a first treatment unit of the plant. The treatment parameters are capable of being altered at least in part and depend at least in part upon product parameters—characteristic of the container—of the containers to be treated. At least one product parameter characteristic of the container is determined by detecting a recognition mark associated with the container, and at least one treatment parameter is altered on the basis of this characteristic product parameter. | 02-09-2012 |
20120067502 | APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING STRIPS OF LABELS AND METHODS OF PROCESSING STRIPS OF LABELS - An apparatus for processing strips of labels includes a strip of labels having a plurality of individual labels following one after the other.
