A shoe sole includes a mid sole, and a reinforcing member reinforcing a portion of the mid sole, wherein the member 2 extends over an area from a mid foot part 12 to a rear foot part 13, the member 2 including: a rod-shaped or strip-shaped main bar 21 provided along a line that is at the center of the foot; mid foot medial blades 22 and 23 and mid foot lateral blades 24 and 25 extending from the bar 21 in the part 12; a plurality of rear foot blades 26a and 26b extending from the bar 21 in the part 13, wherein the blades 22 to 26b are integral with the bar 21, the blades 22 to 25 are attached to a lower surface of the mid sole, and at least a portion of each of the blades 26a and 26b is buried in the part 13.

A catheter having an elongated shaft with a tubular member which forms at least a portion of the shaft and which is formed of a biaxially oriented thermoplastic polymeric material, and a method of forming the catheter shaft by radially and longitudinally expanding the tubular member to biaxially orient the polymeric material. A catheter of the invention has an improved combination of low bending stiffness, high rupture pressure, and high tensile strength, for improved catheter performance.

A shoe sole includes a mid sole, and a reinforcing member reinforcing a portion of the mid sole, wherein the member (2) extends over an area from a mid foot part (12) to a rear foot part (13), the member (2) including: a rod-shaped or strip-shaped main bar (21) provided along a line that is at the center of the foot; mid foot medial blades (22) and (23) and mid foot lateral blades (24 and 25) extending from the bar (21) in the part (12); a plurality of rear foot blades (26a and 26b) extending from the bar (21) in the part (13), wherein the blades (22 to 26b) are integral with the bar (21), the blades (22 to 25) are attached to a lower surface of the mid sole, and at least a portion of each of the blades (26a and 26b) is buried in the part (13).

A pillar structure which includes a pillar member connected to an upper potion and a lower portion of a transversely outer vehicle body. The pillar member is formed into a channel open toward a compartment, with a transversely outer base wall, and a pair of side walls which are thinner than the base wall and extend from both front and rear sides of the base wall. Each side wall is formed to have a first tapered portion gradually reducing in thickness from a base end portion of the side wall to a substantially center portion of the width thereof. Stiffening projections are formed on an inner surface of each side wall at predetermined intervals in a pillar longitudinal direction, and extend from a distal end portion of the side wall to the base end portion thereof.

A measurement transducer includes a transducer housing, which exhibits a multiplicity of natural oscillation modes and at least a first measuring tube for conveying at least a volume fraction of the medium to be measured. The measuring tube is held to oscillation in the transducer housing and vibrator, at least at times. Also included is an electromechanical, exciter mechanism acting on the at least one measuring tube and a sensor arrangement reacting to movements, i.e. bending oscillations, of the measuring tube. Also included is a first support element fixed, i.e. directly, to the transducer housing and serving for the formation of essentially locationally fixed oscillation nodes in the transducer housing for suppressing or erasing at least one natural oscillation mode of the transducer housing. An outer oscillation system is formed by the transducer housing and at least the at least one support element and an inner oscillation system is formed by the at least one measuring tube, the medium at least instantaneously conveyed therein, and, at least in part, by the exciter mechanism and the sensor arrangement. The inner oscillation system, executes, at least at times during operation of the measurement transducer, mechanical oscillations, especially in the form of lateral oscillations.

A metal wood golf club head adapted for attachment to a shaft, comprising of a body portion and a crown portion, each portion constructed of a different density material. Combining a high-density material in the body portion, with a low-density material in the crown portion, creates an ultra-low center of gravity relative to the geometric face center, resulting in higher launch angles and spin rate ratios. The material for the crown portion is preferably a composite. The crown portion comprises an inner surface layer of a vibration dampening material. The transverse surfaces of the crown and body portions creating a gap that is filled with a shock absorption material such as putty or a rubber based structural adhesive.
