Abstract: A sole structure for an article of footwear is provided. The sole structure includes a first midsole portion, a second midsole portion, and a sheet. The first midsole portion includes a first sidewall. The second midsole portion includes a second sidewall. The sheet is disposed between the first midsole portion and the second midsole portion and extends from the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The sheet extends at least partially over the second sidewall.

Abstract: A sole structure for an article of footwear is described. In one example, the sole structure includes first and second foam components and one or more mesh components, e.g., a mesh textile component. The first foam component includes first and second opposing sides, and the second foam component includes first and second opposing sides. The first and second foam components form a stack in the sole structure. The mesh components, e.g., a mesh textile component, are positioned in the stack between and bonded to the second side of the first foam component and the first side of the second foam component. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a device (10) for the manufacture of compressed particle beds having a container (22) for receiving particles respectively materials in particle form, a guiding device (14) for the support and guidance of the container (22) and a compression equipment (22), whereby the compression equipment (20) is in effective connection with the container (22).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a workstation for the handling of chemicals and containers, in particular of containers as used in a laboratory, in combination with a metering device for solids and liquids. The workstation comprises at least: (i) a platform, which has at least one module with at least one reservoir for a sample and at least one module with at least one target container (ii) a metering system for the metering of the sample, (iii) a portal system, which is arranged above the platform and which maneuvers the metering system to all three directions in space, (iv) a control device for controlling the movements of the metering system, and (v) a measuring system for the samples. Thereby, the metering system (ii) has a gripper device for the uptake of a metering tool and/or of the containers, and said metering tool is supported within at least one module on the platform.

Abstract: Apparatus for simultaneously and/or successively carrying out at least two catalytic tests, having a reactor element, which includes at least one gas inlet unit, a plurality of reaction chambers and at least one restriction unit, the at least one restriction unit being configured in such a manner that it has a plurality of channels, which are arranged in such a manner that at least one reaction chamber is in direct contact with at least one channel of the at least one restriction unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for the continuous testing of at least two building blocks, which are part of a combinatorial material library. Thereby, said device is in particular characterized in that it comprises at least the following constituent parts: (i) at least one spatially stationary component with at least one means for supply, (ii) at least one spatially non-stationary component as well as (iii) at least one unit for the uptake of a building block. Thereby, at least one building block moves spatially relative to the at least one other building block during the testing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for testing building blocks, which are identical or different, of a library of materials, comprising at least two building blocks, for performance characteristics, comprising a sequence of the following steps: 4) testing of at least one library building block for at least one performance characteristic; 5) detecting at least one measurable quantity, to which at least one performance characteristic of the at least one library building block can be assigned by at least one sensor, wherein at least one of the steps (4) and (5) is performed continuously.
