Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fluid-filled chamber may include including an outer barrier, a plate having indentations, and a fluid. The plate may be located within barrier and secured to an inner surface of the barrier. The fluid is also located within the barrier and pressurized to place an outward force upon the barrier. The indentations in the plate may permit flexing of the plate in one direction while obstructing flexing of the plate in another direction. Accordingly, the plate may enhance shape-retention properties of the chamber while also enhancing an overall transparency of the chamber.
