Publication number: 20230148706Abstract: An outsole for an athletic shoe that includes a heel section and a forefoot section. The heel and forefoot sections are on the outer surface of the outsole. The forefoot section includes a tread pattern that provides first and second ground friction forces. The first ground friction force promotes rotation in a first rotational direction about a rotation point of the forefoot section. The second ground friction force restricts rotation in a second rotational direction about the rotation point. The second rotational direction is opposite of the first rotational direction and the second ground friction force is greater than the first ground friction force.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: Athalonz, LLCInventors: Timothy W. Markison, Jeremiah Johnston, Patricia A. Markison

Publication number: 20220050556Abstract: An encoded data pattern touchscreen sensing computing device includes a touchscreen, a plurality of electrodes, a plurality of drive-sense circuits, and a processing module. When enabled and in close proximity to an encoded data pattern, the plurality of drive-sense circuits detect changes in electrical characteristics of the plurality of electrodes caused by one or more electrical materials of the encoded data pattern. The encoded data pattern includes one or more electrical materials arranged in a pattern. Electrical properties of the one or more electrical materials and the pattern are representative of data. The processing module is operable to receive a set of detected changes in electrical characteristics of the set of drive-sense circuits, interpret the detected changes in electrical characteristics as a set of impedance values representative of the one or more electrical materials of the encoded data pattern, and interpret the set of impedance values to determine the data.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2021Publication date: February 17, 2022Applicant: SigmaSense, LLC.Inventors: Daniel Keith Van Ostrand, Gerald Dale Morrison, Richard Stuart Seger, JR., Timothy W. Markison, Patricia Markison Healy

Patent number: 10856614Abstract: A shoe includes a midsole, an outsole, and an upper section. The upper section includes a top cap section, a vamp section, a quarter section, and a metatarsal-phalange joint flex area. The toe cap section covers a toe area of the shoe and is constructed of a first material. The vamp section covers a portion of a midfoot area of the shoe and is constructed of the first material or a second material. The quarter section provides a rear portion of the upper section and is constructed of the first material, the second material, and/or a third material. The metatarsal-phalange joint flex area covers a metatarsal-phalange joint section of the shoe and is constructed of a fourth material. The fourth material is more flexible than both of the first and second materials.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Athalonz, LLCInventors: Timothy W.
