  • Patent number: 8590175
    Abstract: Methods for making footwear products include: (a) applying cement to a surface of an upper and/or midsole; (b) cooling the upper and/or midsole so that these parts will move relative to one another despite the cement's presence; and (c) placing the midsole in the upper. Additional methods include: (a) providing an upper having an interior chamber; (b) placing a prelast member including a midsole allowance part into the chamber; (c) removing the prelast member; and (d) placing a midsole in the chamber. The upper and/or midsole may have cement applied thereto and may be cooled before the insertion step, as described above. When sufficiently cooled, the cement will not immediately bind the parts contacting it, but it will allow relative movement of these parts. After the midsole is positioned in the upper, the assembly may be heated to activate the cement and fix the parts together.

  • Patent number: 8244214
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment discloses a self-aware dynamic authorization method for closed femtocell environments. Initially, a dynamic authorization table is initialized to set authorized records of at least an authorized user equipment (UE) for a closed femtocell. When the closed femtocell provides services for the authorized UE, IMSI/MSISDN records are learned in an initial phase for learning data. The learned IMSI/MSISDN records are dynamically adjusted with the expired period of the access right on the femtocell in a reweighting phase. The expired or oldest IMSI/MSISDN records will be removed from the dynamic authorization table in an ageing phase.
