Provided is a shoe including an upper composed of a fiber sheet, the fiber sheet including: a base sheet including yarns having heat shrinkability; and a plurality of chip members, each of which is a sheet having an area smaller than that of the base sheet, the base sheet and the plurality of chip members being layered and joined together.

In one aspect, a system for obtaining dielectric properties of an object is disclosed, which comprises a plurality of transceivers for generating radiation in the microwave or millimeter-wave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The transceivers are positioned in spatially fixed relationships relative to one another. The system further includes a controller for selectively activating the transceivers for irradiating at least a portion of the object and detecting at least a portion of the radiation reflected from said portion of the object in response to the irradiation, where each of the activated transceivers generates a signal in response to detection of the reflected radiation. The reflected signals are analyzed to determine a plurality of reflectivity coefficients corresponding to different discrete locations of the object, and the reflectivity coefficients are used to determine the complex permittivity of the discrete locations.

A system for establishing a junction trace of an assembly includes a surface model creating module, a processing module, and a material inspection module. The assembly includes a first part and a second part assembled with each other. The surface model creating module scans the first part and the second part to separately establish first surface model data and second surface model data. The processing module establishes assembled surface model data according to the first surface model data and the second surface model data, determines a junction region from the assembled surface model data, and determines inspection points mapped on the assembly according to the junction region. The material inspection module inspects materials of the assembly at the inspection points. The processing module establishes a junction trace of the first part and the second part in the assembly according to a material inspection result.
