  • Patent number: 9424051
    Abstract: A method for modeling classes to create an application in an object-oriented programming environment based on a hierarchical rooted classification (E) and inheritance-based naming of an entity is disclosed. The method comprises in the logic classification (EB), on a first level, determining whether the entity belongs to a single-element class (EBU) or a multiple-element class (EBG) and providing a first indication therefor; on a second level, if the entity belongs to a single-element class (EBU), determining whether the entity is one of a data (I), a link (L), a role (R) and a domain (D) and providing a second indication therefor; and creating a name for the entity by aggregating the first and the second indications.

  • Patent number: 8474153
    Abstract: The present invention provides a shoe cover to adaptively fit over a shoe. The show cover has a sole, which includes at least two rigid bands of rigid material, disposed on the bottom of the sole and arranged in spaced relation to each other on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis of the sole, thereby rigidifying the sole. The sole also has an elastic band of the flexible material, spanning longitudinally between the two rigid bands from the front to the rear of the sole, thereby enabling lateral flexibility to adapt to a shoe. The present invention also provides a rigid L-shaped element, each including a first portion on the ground side, a second portion on the side wall, and a fulcrum joining them, to clamp an inserted shoe. A double injection method for producing the above is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6425194
    Abstract: A cushioning sole for use in contact with a foot, the foot being characterized by a specific shape relief and pressure map. The cushioning structure comprises a central layer of a rubber-like thermoplastic material having an upper surface devised to be in contact with the foot and having a shape relief conforming the specific shape relief of the foot, and a bottom surface opposite the upper surface. The cushioning sole further comprises a layout of space-apart anatomical pressure-receiving fingers made integrally with the central layer and protruding from at least one of the upper surface and bottom surface. Each of the pressure-receiving fingers has a predetermined height and diameter. The layout, the height and the diameter of the pressure-receiving fingers are determined in function of the physical characteristics of the rubber-like thermoplastic material and the specific pressure map of the foot, whereby the overall pressure-receiving fingers suit the specific pressure map of the foot.
