  • Publication number: 20240180286
    Abstract: An article of footwear with an upper having a knitted component in an instep region extending between a first side and a second side. Outer lace apertures and inner lace apertures are disposed along the instep area on the first side and, in some aspects, the second side, where inner lace apertures are located more inward towards a middle of the upper than outer lace apertures. A lace extends through an inner lace aperture from an exterior surface on the first side of the upper, along an interior surface of the upper, and then exits the upper through an outer lace aperture on the first side. After exiting the outer lace aperture on the first side, the lace extends across the instep area along the exterior surface of the upper and extends through a lace aperture on the second side, which may be an inner lace aperture.

  • Publication number: 20240180288
    Abstract: An article of footwear with an upper having a knitted component in an instep region extending between lateral and medial sides. Outer lace apertures and inner lace apertures are disposed along the instep area on the lateral and medial sides, where inner lace apertures are located more inward towards a middle of the upper than outer lace apertures. A lace extends through an inner lace aperture from an exterior surface on the medial side of the upper, along an interior surface of the upper, and then exits the upper through an outer lace aperture on the medial side. After exiting the outer lace aperture on the medial side, the lace extends across the instep area along the exterior surface of the upper and extends through an inner lace aperture on the lateral side.

  • Publication number: 20240180287
    Abstract: An article of footwear with an upper having a knitted component in an instep region extending between a lateral side and a medial side. First lace apertures and second lace apertures are disposed along the instep area on the medial and lateral sides at first and second locations. A lace extends through an first lace aperture of the plurality of first lace apertures, from an exterior surface on the medial side of the upper, along an interior surface of the upper, and then exits the upper through a second lace aperture of the plurality of second lace apertures on the medial side. After exiting the second lace aperture, the lace extends across the instep area along the exterior surface of the upper and extends through a third lace aperture of the plurality of first lace apertures on the lateral side.

  • Patent number: 10681289
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a ROIC with a plurality of unit cells coupled to a detector array having a plurality of detectors for collecting photoelectrons over a plurality of temporal instances. An individual unit cell is electrically coupled to an individual detector to have one-to-one correspondence and includes one or more storage elements coupled to one or more programmable logic control switches. The storage element(s) store signal charges representing the photoelectrons while the programmable logic control switch(es) direct the signal charges from the storage element(s) at an individual temporal instance. A configuration of signal charges in the plurality of unit cells is mathematically operated as a three-dimensional matrix having a plurality of elements, where the three dimensions correspond to the two spatial dimensions of an individual unit cell and the individual temporal instance, and an individual element has a value corresponding to the number of signal charges stored therein.
