First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. An article, the article comprising: a base layer; and a first strand embroidered with the base layer, wherein the first strand is embroidered with the base layer at a first embroidered area, wherein at least one of the first strand and a second strand are embroidered with the base layer at a second embroidered area, wherein the first embroidered area has a first degree of a mechanical property, wherein the second embroidered area has a second degree of the mechanical property that is different than the first degree of the mechanical property, and wherein the base layer includes at least one yarn, and wherein the at least one yarn includes a thermoplastic polymer material. 2. The article of claim 1 , wherein the first strand includes a second thermoplastic polymer material. 3. The article of claim 2 , wherein the first strand includes a core surrounded by a sheath having the second thermoplastic polymer material. 4. The article of claim 2 , wherein the first strand is substantially formed of the second thermoplastic polymer material. 5. An article, the article comprising: a base layer; and a first strand embroidered with the base layer, wherein the first strand is embroidered with the base layer at a first embroidered area, wherein at least one of the first strand and a second strand are embroidered with the base layer at a second embroidered area, wherein the first embroidered area has a first degree of a mechanical property, wherein the second embroidered area has a second degree of the mechanical property that is different than the first degree of the mechanical property, and wherein a thermoplastic polymer material is applied to the base layer after the first strand is embroidered with the base layer. 6. The article of claim 5 , wherein the first strand includes a second thermoplastic polymer material. 7. The article of claim 6 , wherein the first strand includes a core surrounded by a sheath having the second thermoplastic polymer material. 8. The article of claim 6 , wherein the first strand is substantially formed of the second thermoplastic polymer material.
