  • Patent number: 10867001
    Abstract: Internet searches sometimes provide search results referencing webpages that do not contain all search term elements submitted by a user. The user may then click on such Internet search results where referenced webpages, and/or their descendants, do not contain important search term elements. Also, advertisements are sometimes placed on search results webpages that relate to the user's search term elements, even though some of those search terms are missing in referenced and/or descendant webpages. The present invention is directed to: annotating Internet search results to indicate missing search term elements on referenced and descendant webpages; optionally filtering out search results referencing webpages with missing terms; and showing advertisements related to search term elements.

  • Patent number: 9364045
    Abstract: An article of footwear may have an upper and a sole structure secured to the upper. The upper includes an illuminable panel and a plurality of strands positioned to extend adjacent and parallel to the illuminable panel. The illuminable panel has a surface with a covered area and an exposed area. The covered area includes a substantially opaque covering, and the exposed area is at least partially visible from the exterior of the footwear. The strands are located to correspond with the exposed area of the illuminable panel. Light from the exposed area of the illuminable panel may enhance, highlight, or otherwise increase the visibility of the strands or areas of the upper that include the strands.

  • Patent number: 5420731
    Abstract: A two channel circuit and method for the automatic edit optimization of a recording medium which is operable with a recorder such as a video tape recorder or a disc recorder, utilizes a first channel means including an automatic scan tracking playback head and a second channel means including a record head. First and second rf peak signals indicative of variations in the stored data patterns in the medium are generated for the two channels. The gain of a variable gain amplifier coupled to the automatic scan tracking playback head is adjusted in accordance with a first correction signal derived from the generated first rf peak signal. The gain of a variable gain amplifier coupled to the record head is adjusted in accordance with a second correction signal derived from the generated second rf peak signal.

  • Patent number: 4543222
    Abstract: A method of making a sole construction for a shoe is disclosed, the sole construction being of the type having at least two independently prefabricated wooden parts which are interconnected at an area beneath the ball of the foot of a wearer by at least one flexible polyurethane intermediate part. The method includes steps of placing the wooden parts in a mold, introducing a polyurethane foaming material into the remaining free space in the mold, allowing the polyurethane foaming material to foam with the mold closed to form the intermediate parts in interconnected relation with the wooden parts, removing the wooden and intermediate parts from the mold and thereafter working the side surfaces of the sole construction and the surfaces thereof facing the foot sole by grinding or milling.

  • Patent number: 4425721
    Abstract: A walking sole to be used under an immobilizing bandage on the lower leg whereby all foot joints are rigid, includes a running surface having three essentially flat parts which are spaced longitudinally and merge into one another with rounded transitions. A forward or toe part is curved upwards from a flat central part at an angle ranging between 25.degree. and 35.degree.. A hindmost or rear heel part slopes upwardly from the central part at an angle ranging between 15.degree. and 25.degree.. The vertical distance between the bottom of the central part and the highest point of the forward part is (11.+-.1)% of a length factor, which factor equals 1.5 times the length of the sole in mm--15 mm. The vertical distance between said bottom and the highest point of the heel part is (3.+-.1)% of said length factor.

  • Patent number: 4104754
    Abstract: A shoe having a wooden base is manufactured by providing a wooden member having a shape corresponding to the desired shape of the insole and sole of the finished shoe. The wooden member is divided along a line substantially parallel to the foot supporting surface of the shoe, thus forming a wooden strip or insole in which a series of openings and recesses are made parallel and adjacent to the edges thereof. The recesses extend in opposite directions toward each other and receive small lateral flap-like extensions provided in the front and heel upper portions of the shoe. The lateral flaps are passed through the openings and introduced into the recesses.
