A method of manufacturing a foam component (306) includes generating, via a computer aided design (CAD) software, three-dimensional data corresponding to the foam component (306). The method further includes scaling, using the CAD software, the three-dimensional data to correspond to a preform (302). The preform (302) is smaller than the foam component based on a scaling factor. The method further includes fabricating the preform (302) from a thermoplastic elastomer and adding a foaming agent to the preform (302). The method further includes foaming the preform (302) by exposing the preform (302) to a target temperature for a target time via a heat generating device (315).

A preformed component for a foam structure includes one or more polymer sheets (200; 200A, 200B, 200C) having first unit cells (222A) that are repeatedly oriented to define a first pattern along a first region. The first unit cells (222A) are connected by a plurality of ridges (204) and a plurality of grooves (208) to provide deformation in a first direction and second unit cells (222B) that are repeatedly oriented to define a second pattern along a second region. The second unit cells (222B) are connected by a plurality of ridges (204) and a plurality of grooves (208) to provide deformation in a second direction. When the preformed component is foamed, the foam structure includes a first plurality of cells having a shape substantially similar to the shape of the first unit cells (222A) and a second plurality of cells having a shape substantially similar to the shape of the second unit cells (222B).

An article of footwear includes an upper (104) having a base layer (148) that includes a first layer (164) and a second layer (180). The second layer (180) is a series of cushioning elements (184) that extend outward from the first layer (164). The upper (104) also includes a top layer (152) that is partially connected to a perimeter of the base layer (148) such that a void is disposed between the base layer (148) and the top layer (152), and at least one of the cushioning elements (184) of the series of cushioning elements (184) is located within the void defined between the base layer (148) and the top layer (152).

An article of footwear having a sole structure and an upper and defining a widest section, a narrowest section, a toe end, a heel end, a lateral side, and a medial side. The sole structure includes a top midsole (180) directly coupled to the upper, a sole plate directly coupled to the top midsole (180), a front midsole directly coupled to the top midsole (180) and the sole plate, a rear midsole directly coupled to the top midsole (180) and the sole plate, and an outsole directly coupled to the front midsole and the rear midsole. The top midsole (180) includes an upper side (200) and an underside (190), and the upper side (200) of the top midsole (180) includes a lip (218) around an outer edge (216) of the upper side (200). Further, the underside (190) of the top midsole (180) includes a plurality of recesses (186), and the top midsole (180) includes an aperture (188) that extends from the upper side (200) to the underside (190).

An article of footwear having a sole structure (64) and an upper (62), the sole structure (64) comprising a top midsole (70) coupled to the upper (62), a sole plate (72) coupled to the top midsole (70), a front midsole (74) coupled to the top midsole (70) and the sole plate (72), a rear midsole (76) coupled to the top midsole (70) and the sole plate (72), and an outsole (78) coupled to the front midsole (74) and the rear midsole (76). The front midsole (74) is spaced forward from the rear midsole (76) creating a cavity, and an underside of the sole plate (72) is exposed in the cavity. The sole plate (72) includes a plurality of peaks and a plurality of valleys on the lateral side (98) of an outer edge of the sole plate (72) between a widest section of the sole plate (72) and a toe end of the sole plate. The top midsole (70), the front midsole (74), and the rear midsole (76) are made of a supercritical foam that includes an organic compound having an open-chain structure.

The invention relates to a window regulator assembly (1) of a vehicle, wherein the window regulator assembly comprises a carrier element (2), wherein the carrier element (2) has a substantial plate-shaped design with a normal direction (N), wherein at least one unit (3) is arranged on the carrier element (2), wherein the unit (3) comprises a guide rail (4), a slider (5) which is movably arranged at the guide rail (4) along a longitudinal axis (L) and at least one pulley arrangement (6) for redirecting a cable (7), wherein the carrier element (2) has an edge region (8) and wherein a part of the unit (3) extends beyond the carrier element (2) in a direction (E) perpendicular to the normal direction (N). To allow an easier and more cost effective design for the provision of an efficient sealing of the carrier element, the invention proposes that the unit (3) comprises a first section (9) which does not extend beyond the carrier element (2) in the direction (E) perpendicular to the normal direction (N) and comprises a second section (10) which extends in the mounted state beyond the carrier element (2) in the direction (E) perpendicular to the normal direction (N), wherein the second section (10) is detachably arranged at the carrier element (2) and at the first section (9). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for mounting such a window regulator assembly.
