Abstract: Disclosed is a article of footwear capable of improving shock absorption and rebound resilience characteristics and stability during walking or running. The article of footwear comprises a midsole member and a side reinforcement member supporting the lateral side of the midsole member against the ground. The side reinforcement member has a resilient curved portion integrally formed therewith for resiliently supporting the lateral side of the midsole member.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for generating micro electrical current capable of enhancing micro electrical current generation efficiency. The device for generating micro electrical current includes a housing having an accommodation space therein, a coil block accommodated inside the housing, a movable magnet movably provided at one surface of the coil block to generate a micro electrical current through interaction with the coil block, and an elastic member for elastically supporting movement of the movable magnet with respect to the coil block. After a first motion of the movable magnet with respect to the coil block, the movable magnet vibrates by the elastic member and interacts with the coil block.

Abstract: Disclosed is a customized shoe sole having a multi-level cushion column, which can improve impact absorption and dispersion while walking. The customized shoe sole comprises at least one multi-level cushion column including a plurality of cushion layers piled vertically, wherein at least one of the cushion layers has an elastic hardness different from those of the other layers, so as to start to be elastically deformed under a specific load condition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lightweight shoe sole having a structure for shock absorption and rebound resilience that is capable of improving shock absorption and rebound resilience characteristics, while providing light weight. The lightweight shoe sole includes: a reinforcing member; a first midsole having first protrusions formed integrally therewith, the first protrusions being supported on one surface of the reinforcing member; and a second midsole having second protrusions formed integrally therewith, the second protrusions being supported on the other surface of the reinforcing member, wherein the first protrusions and the second protrusions are supported by means of the reinforcing member in non-overlapping regions therebetween.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (“3D”) image display device includes a display panel, and a liquid crystal lens part disposed on the display panel and which selectively provides a two-dimensional (“2D”) image and a 3D stereoscopic image, where the liquid crystal lens part includes: a lower substrate including a plurality of linear electrodes which are disposed in different layers; an upper substrate including a plate electrode; and a lens liquid crystal layer disposed between the lower substrate and the upper substrate, where the linear electrodes in the different layers are alternately arranged in a unit zone of the liquid crystal lens part, and where two adjacent linear electrodes of the linear electrodes are spaced apart from each other when viewed from a top view.

Abstract: A liquid crystal lens panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer. The first substrate includes a first base substrate, a lens common electrode disposed on the first base substrate, and a first alignment layer disposed on the lens common electrode, the first alignment layer including a first alignment direction. The second substrate includes a second base substrate opposite to the first base substrate, a plurality of lens electrodes that extend in a lens axis and is parallel with each other, and a second alignment layer disposed on the plurality of lens electrodes, the second alignment layer including a second alignment direction substantially perpendicular to the first alignment direction. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first and second alignment layers.

Abstract: A midsole for a shoe comprising an upper midsole and a lower midsole, and further comprising a reinforcing member being embedded in between the upper midsole and the lower midsole. The reinforcing member includes a foot-shaped reinforcing plate and a plurality of wings being repeatedly rounded alternately upwards and downwards, and a plurality of grooves being formed on both sides of a bottom surface of the upper midsole, and a plurality of ribs forming both sides of the lower midsole, in which the ribs correspond to the wings of the reinforcing member and the wings are exposed to the outside of the midsole. The midsole disperses shock and allows for an easy walking motion.

Abstract: A shoe sole 3 of the present invention comprises a midsole 4 and an outsole 5, in which the outsole 5 includes a cushion member 10 formed beneath the midsole 4, in a shape of a series of zigzags, with a determined thickness and width. The cushion member may disperse the wearer's weight uniformly to the whole area of the shoe sole and may provide comfortable deformation of the shoe sole according to the wearer's walking behavior due to spaces defined in the cushion member. Since the cushion member gets opened and shrunk repeatedly while walking, the wearer can propel one's round walking, thereby that the shoe sole can reduce the fatigue of the wearer's feet and protect the wearer's joints like ankles and knees safely.

Abstract: Disclosed is a midsole for a shoe which is capable of safely performing the shock-dispersing function and the same foot rolling function, which is capable of making the wearer feel soft on he or her feet with a nice cushiony landing feel to them while walking or stop, which is capable of distributing the wearer's weight on the feet and of minimizing foot fatigue of the wearer while standing, walking or running in such a manner as to promote the wearer's comfort and health, and which is capable of providing an attractive appearance for the shoe. A reinforcing member is embedded in between an upper midsole and a lower midsole. The reinforcing member includes a foot-shaped reinforcing plate and a plurality of wings protruding from both sides of the reinforcing plate, in which outer ends of the wings are repeatedly rounded alternately upwards and downwards. A plurality of grooves are formed both sides of a bottom surface of the upper midsole. A plurality of ribs are formed both sides of the lower midsole.
