Abstract: Articles of footwear including a thermo-molded upper having a skin composed of one or more low melting point thermoplastic polymers. The skin may include at least one of: a base layer composed of a low melting point thermoplastic polymer and a grid layer including a yarn composed of a low melting point thermoplastic polymer. The uppers may be formed by placing a skin and an inflatable bladder into a mold cavity and heating the mold to a predetermined temperature. The inflatable bladder may be inflated such that the skin is pressed against an interior surface of the heated mold cavity to cause the skin to take on the shape of the internal surface of the mold cavity, thereby forming an upper for an article of footwear.

Abstract: Methods for manufacturing uppers for articles footwear that include thermo-forming an upper composed of one or more low melting point thermoplastic polymers. The methods may include disposing a skin for forming an upper over and inflatable bladder.

Abstract: Apparatus for receiving video output from a patient scanning device and photographing a plurality of video displays sequentially in multiple images onto a sheet of x-ray film. A video monitor adapted for connection to a scanning device, such as a gamma ray or ultrasonic imaging system, and having a display tube mounted in a housing in spaced relation to a wide angle lens formed to project the image of the face of the display tube onto a sheet of film supported in a film holder mounted on the housing. The positioning of the image on the film is determined by the vertical and lateral positioning of the lens relative to perpendicular X and Y axes corresponding to the length and width of the film. The lens is provided with a shutter for controlling the passage of light therethrough, and a pair of reversing electric motors are provided for selectively positioning the lens along the X and Y axes.
