Abstract: Airsoles or bladders for articles of footwear comprising multi-layered films are provided herein. In one aspect, the airsoles or bladders comprise a first sheet and a second sheet, wherein a first side of the first sheet faces a second side of the second sheet, wherein the first sheet and the second sheet are bonded together to form an internal cavity in a space between the first side of the first sheet and the second side of the second sheet, forming a bladder capable of retaining a gas in the internal cavity at a pressure above atmospheric pressure, at atmospheric pressure, or below atmospheric pressure; and wherein each of the first sheet and the second sheet comprise a multi-layered film comprising: a core region comprising at least 20 gas barrier layers and a plurality of elastomeric layers, wherein the gas-barrier layers alternate with the elastomeric layers.

Abstract: An authentication process in a network environment provides a remote user with secured access to an enterprise network based on recognition of a third-party security token. The method includes authenticating the user against a plurality of third-party security tokens, wherein the third-party security tokens originate from a range of different partner home sites. The remote user, prior to obtaining secured access to the enterprise network, is not known to the enterprise network, and does not need to be associated with any security tokens previously originating from the enterprise network. The enterprise network is provided with the ability to rely upon third-party security tokens to authenticate the remote user.

Abstract: Spirally wound paper products are disclosed having desirable roll firmness characteristics and softness properties. The rolled products can be made from a single ply tissue web formed according to various processes. Once formed, the tissue web is subjected to a shear-calendering device that increases the fuzz-on-edge properties of the web and preserves the bulk of the web when wound.
