  • Patent number: 12070099
    Abstract: An article of footwear includes a strobel, a footwear upper, and a sole plate. The strobel includes a polymeric bladder defining an interior cavity and configured to retain a fluid in the interior cavity. The polymeric bladder has a peripheral flange extending around a perimeter of the interior cavity from a medial side to a lateral side of the polymeric bladder at a front of the polymeric bladder. The footwear upper is secured to the peripheral flange. The sole plate has a heel portion, a midfoot portion, and a forefoot portion, and a rear extent of the strobel is secured to the sole plate or to the footwear upper forward of a rear extent of the sole plate. A method of manufacturing the article of footwear includes securing the peripheral flange to the upper.

  • Patent number: 11992086
    Abstract: A strobel for an article of footwear includes a polymeric bladder defining an interior cavity and configured to retain a fluid in the interior cavity. The polymeric bladder has a peripheral flange extending around at least a portion of a perimeter of the interior cavity. A first bond secures opposing inner surfaces of the polymeric bladder to one another and extends transversely inward from a medial side of the peripheral flange only partway transversely across the interior cavity. A second bond is rearward of the first bond. The second bond extends transversely inward from a lateral side of the peripheral flange only partway transversely across the interior cavity. A tensile component is disposed in the interior cavity. An outer edge of the tensile component extends transversely inward at and borders a perimeter of the first bond and a perimeter of the second bond.

  • Publication number: 20150109536
    Abstract: An aspect of the present invention provides a display apparatus, includes a plurality of projectors, at least one aspherical mirror, at least one image capture device, and an image correction system. Each of the projectors is configured to provide a sub image. The sub images are projected onto a screen to form a main image on the screen, and adjacent two of the sub images on the screen have an overlapping portion. The image capture device is configured to capture at least one mirror image on the aspherical mirror. The mirror image originates from the sub images. The image correction system is configured to correct pixel positions of the sub images on the screen according to the mirror image captured by the image capture device.
