Title: A shoe midsole
Inventor: TRUELSEN EJNAR
IPC: A43B13/14
Filed: 2001-08-08
Granted: 2010-01-19
Abstract: A shoe midsole (1) for shoes with exceptional walking comfort, eg hiking shoes. The shoe midsole is provided with a shock absorber (6) in its heel zo ne (4) and a bead (8) behind and adjacent the heel zone, said bead completely o r partially following a U-shape and forming a side support for the heel of the wearer. The sole is flexible about at least two slightly curved bending line s (12, 14), which are inclined relative to the longitudinal axis (10) of the sole, said lines being defined by channels or grooves (12, 14) in the sole material. The bending lines do not intersect each other and their cavities face away from each other. The sole (1) has a particularly elastic portion (16) of a hand-like shape with at least two finger-shaped zones (18a, 18b, 18c) pointing towards the toe end (30) of the midsole. As a result the shoe midsole offers a considerable degree of flexibility during the wearer's walking motion. More readily than known it conforms to the organic tissue of the wearer's foot in motion such that the shoe, of which the sole is to be part, is particularly comfortable to use for walking.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de coupe permettant de couper une partie de fibre ou de guide d'ondes optiques à l'aide d'un faisceau laser. La technique de coupe proposée tire profit du bord tranchant d'un faisceau laser généré de manière à présenter une distribution d'intensité asymétrique prédéterminée. En fonctionnement, une proportion prescrite de la distribution d'intensité du faisceau est appliquée sur la partie de fibre ou de guide d'ondes, provoquant ainsi l'ablation ou la vaporisation de la partie de fibre ou de guide d'ondes, de telle sorte que la coupe effectuée sur la partie dépende de la proportion de distribution d'intensité appliquée. Il ne se produit aucune translation du faisceau laser sur la fibre ou le guide d'ondes pendant la coupe. La technique de coupe proposée présente des avantages importants par rapport aux techniques de coupe classiques et s'avère utile dans de nombreuses applications associées aux fibres ou aux guides d'ondes optiques. Par exemple, la technique de coupe proposée peut permettre de produire une lentille ou une surface de fibre ou de guide d'ondes optiques sensiblement plate, de qualité supérieure, à l'extrémité de la partie de fibre ou du guide d'ondes.

Abstract: An enrobed a core, such as a tablet core, that has a coating made of one or more patterned films each having portions that are visually distinct (e.g., differently colored) from one another and having a transition line segment between these visually distinct portions. At least a portion of an outer surface of the core is covered with the film or films, such that the transition line segments form a substantially continuous transition line on the coating and a film seam is formed which is different from the transition line. Where the patterned films are bi-colored, the resulting enrobed core can be bi-colored, or the resulting enrobed core can have a coating with at least four visually distinct portions alternately arranged thereon, thereby forming a "checkerboard" pattern on the coating. In either case, the film seam of the coating is different from the transition line of the coating.

Abstract: A number of water spray holes (9a, 9b) formed on a water spray plate (6) is not less than 130. A diameter of the respective water spray holes (9a, 9b) is not less than 0.1 mm and not more than 0.5 mm, and an entire aperture area thereof is not more than 30 mm2. With this arrangement, since the entire aperture area of the water spray holes (9a, 9b) is reduced, it is possible to achieve water-saving effects. Moreover, since the water spray holes (9a, 9b) are small and provided by a plurality of numbers, the flow of water sprayed from the respective water spray holes (9a, 9b) is large to feel some strength hitting the skin and to achieve expansion of shower water so that the sense of using the shower may be satisfied. Moreover, since a plurality of small water spray holes (9a, 9b) is formed, a larger number of minus ion can be generated.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring small particles suspended in a fluid are disclosed. The system employs optical imaging using diffraction enlargement. A sample of small particles illuminated by a light source is imaged onto a pixel array of detector elements using an imaging optical system having a reduced magnification not sufficient for forming a large enough image of a smallest particle of interest. A low- aperture imaging optics with NA < 0.05 is used to add diffraction enlargement to the image corresponding to at least 5 pixels to enable accurate measurement of images of smallest particles of interest, and to increase an optical sampling volume. Suitably programmed processor is used for determining at least a pixel count for each of the diffraction- enlarged images, and for generating a number, size or distribution of particles accounting for pre- determined diffraction enlargement of particle images of different sizes. The method enables analysis of large samples of small particles in one measurement.
