20120167417	Unitary Upper and Midsole - Embodiments of the present invention relate to an article of footwear having a unitary upper and midsole referred to as a mupper. The mupper includes both a midsole portion and an upper portion. An outsole may be coupled to the midsole portion to provide a ground contacting surface. Additionally, a bootie may be coupled to the interior of the mupper. A reinforcement may be utilized in conjunction with the mupper and/or the bootie to resist lasting deformation of apertures formed into the mupper for a lacing structure. The reinforcement may be coupled to the bootie, the mupper, or other portions of the shoe. In an embodiment, the reinforcements are constructed from a material different from that which the mupper is formed. Consequently, a traditional crisscross lacing pattern may be utilized while still realizing benefits of having a unitary upper and midsole.	07-05-2012

Without one of the sources of data, the image may not be complete. Each of the three sources of data may therefore be characterized as key spaces, wherein encrypting part of or the entirety of even one of these key spaces prevents the complete image from being viewed. Methods and apparatuses are provided for utilizing the concept of encrypting at least a portion of at least one of the three key spaces in order to securely and/or privately transmit image data to subscribers.	04-24-2014
