Abstract:
An electronically controlled bladder assembly includes an adjustable pressure bladder and a constant pressure reservoir connected by an electronically controlled valve. The electronically controlled valve is operated in a manner that inflates the adjustable bladder when the current pressure is below a target pressure and in a manner that deflates the adjustable bladder when the current pressure is above the target pressure. The inflation and deflation of the adjustable bladder are achieved in an iterative manner by controlling the flow of fluid between the constant pressure reservoir and the adjustable bladder over several cycles of heel strikes.

Claim (Index 7):
The article of footwear of  claim 4 , wherein the electronic control unit is configured to iteratively increase bladder pressure by closing the first valve during a first heel strike event, causing a maximum pressure in the bladder during a time period between the first heel strike event and a sequential second heel strike event to reach a first pressure level by opening the first valve during at least a portion of the time period between the first and second heel strike events, closing the first valve during the second heel strike event, and causing a maximum pressure in the bladder during a time period after the second heel strike event to reach a second pressure level by opening the first valve during at least a portion of the time period after the second heel strike event, the second pressure level being greater than the first pressure level.
