  • Patent number: 11452335
    Abstract: A sole structure for an article of footwear includes a first plate, a fluid-filled bladder supported on the first plate, and a second plate supported on the fluid-filled bladder with the fluid-filled bladder disposed between the first plate and the second plate. The first plate ascends rearward of the fluid-filled bladder and the second plate descends rearward of the fluid-filled bladder with a posterior portion of the first plate above a posterior portion of the second plate rearward of the fluid-filled bladder. A method of manufacturing footwear sole structures includes assembling sole structures for plural ranges of footwear sizes, each of the sole structures including a fluid-filled bladder with a predetermined inflation pressure that is different for at least two of the plural ranges.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8742107
    Abstract: A process to manufacture substituted tetracyano-hexaazatricyclics with the substitutions occurring at the 9 and 10 hydrogens. The process begins with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanopyrazine, which is reacted to form the desired tetracyano-hexaazatricyclic. Different process embodiments enable different reaction paths to the desired tetracyano-hexaazatricyclic. Different tetracyano-hexaazatricyclic embodiments include bis(2-methoxyethyl)-2,3,6,7-tetracyano-1,4,5,8,9,10-hexazaanthracene and bis(2-methoxyethoxyethyl)-2,3,6,7-tetracyano-1,4,5,8,9,10-hexazaanthracene.

  • Patent number: 8080327
    Abstract: An electrical storage device utilizing a pyrazine-based cyanoazacarbon or pyrazine-based cyanoazacarbon polymer as a redox active material which can undergo both oxidation and reduction. The device has an ion selective barrier with a cathode side and an anode side; a cathode compartment which is functionally attached to the cathode side of the ion selective barrier and contains a mixture of pyrazine-based cyanoazacarbons, solvent, and positive ions of pyrazine-based cyanoazacarbons; an anode compartment which is functionally attached to the anode side of the ion selective barrier and contains a mixture of pyrazine-based cyanoazacarbons, solvent, and negative ions of pyrazine-based cyanoazacarbons; a cathode which is electrically connected to the cathode compartment; and an anode which is electrically connected to the anode compartment.

  • Patent number: 4963212
    Abstract: A furniture frame part or the like is made from a first, planar laminate of wood or other material. This laminate is bent so as to form a shaped member of single curvature. The shaped member is cut into slices in a direction transverse to the generatrices of the curvature, and from these slices a second laminate is made. This second laminate is bent in a direction so as to form another curvature with generatrices extending generally transversely to the first mentioned generatrices, whereby a furniture frame part or another composite body of double curvature may be made.
