A system and method is presented for virtually fitting clothing, jewelry, hats, or eyewear frames utilizing 3D scans of a user's face and/or body. The system and method include inputting a 3D scan of a user's face and a 3D model of the item into the software. The 3D image of the item to be fitted is placed on the face or body image resulting from the 3D scan and is iteratively moved until collision is detected between the 3D model of the item and the 3D model of the face or body. A recommendation engine can be used to recommend different items to the user based on the virtual fit. Eyewear frames may be recommended based on testing each model to determine if temple pieces are long enough to get over the ear and if flex is too great or too small.

A method of installing an acoustical system that provides a desired sound attenuation includes attaching an acoustical panel having a first density, a first porosity and a first void volume to the substrate. A first finishing layer is prepared with first particles, a first binder, a first rheological modifier and water which are combined, applied to the substrate and dried. The first finishing layer has a first density. When the first sound attenuation changes to a second sound attenuation a second finishing layer is prepared to include second particles, a second binder, a second rheological modifier and water. The dried second finishing layer has a second density. If the second density is less than the first density, the second sound attenuation is greater than the first sound attenuation. If the second density is greater than the first density, the second sound attenuation is less than the first sound attenuation.

The present invention is directed towards a kit for improving the repair of a transmission. The kit contains the components in a fashion that is well organized. Further, while some individual components are stored in the kit, others are preassembled into subassemblies. For example, a subassembly can be preassembled to factory level tolerances. Thus, during the repair, the defective subassembly can be removed and the preassembled replacement can be installed. This saves a great amount of time for the repair. It also makes the refurbished transmission less likely to fail. If the kit contains all of the transmission parts, then it is likely that all or only a portion of the parts will be used during the repair. In the event that all parts are not used, the repair man can place the unused parts back into the kit, along with the used parts, and the kit can be returned for a partial refund or a credit.
