  • Wiring harness for clothing, electronic devices including such a wiring harness, and garments incorporating such a wiring harness and electronic device
    Patent number: 8942403
    Abstract: A wiring harness for clothing, and garments so equipped. The wiring harness is of asymmetrical configuration, and may extend through channels positioned substantially along reinforced portions of the garment. The wiring harness includes a T-junction from which extend a male media connector and two media cables, a first media cable extending along seams of one side of the garment, and a second media cable extending along a neck portion of the garment from the T-junction at one side to another side, both media cables terminating in male media connectors.

  • Performance shoe midsole
    Patent number: 6820353
    Abstract: Application-specific midsoles and method of designing midsoles are described herein. The midsole includes a plurality of cells that extend generally upward from a generally flat support structure and provide the ability to selectively attenuate the ground reaction forces that result when one engages in activities associated with the application for which the shoe midsole is designed. The midsole comprises a plurality of zones. The shock attenuation properties of each zone is determined by the geometry of the cells in the zone and material composition of the midsole.
