Abstract: A molded plastic spacer for securing a drawer slide to a cabinet panel. The plastic spacer may have one or more lugs extending orthogonally from a cabinet panel contact face and configured to interface with corresponding recesses in the cabinet panel. The one or more lugs may further include a tapered central bore capable of receiving a pin. Driving the pin through the bore causes the lug to expand such that a ribbed exterior surface of the lug engages with the cabinet panel and secures the plastic spacer in place. Each of the one or more lugs having space above the respective pin for robotically driving the pin.

Abstract: a foldable shoe, comprising: a sole extending between a toe end and heel end, the sole comprising a toeroom region proximate the toe end and a heel region proximate the heel end and a midfoot region defined between the toeroom region and heel region, the toeroom region comprising a strap spanning the width of the shoe in a toe-lever region of the toeroom region, the heel region comprising at least one strap retainment recess, configured to alternately: receive the strap and retain the strap against slipping off of the sole and mitigate stress concentrations against breakage under the tensile strength of the strap and bending strength of the sole, when the shoe is folded; and define the compression strength of the sole in the heel region, such that the shoe is configured to alternately: receive a foot of a user with a ball of the user's foot retained in the midfoot region with a stretchable upper portion of the shoe that is independent of the strap; and fold into a retainment orientation, with the heel region
