Publication number: 20260130470Abstract: A shoe includes a sole and an upper that is attached to the sole. The upper has a first side and a second side that fit around a wearer's foot when the shoe is fit about the wearer's foot. The shoe also includes a strap or panel having a proximal end that is attached to one side of the shoe and a distal end that extends toward an opposite side of the shoe. A tension member is guided or directed about a path along the shoe and a tightening mechanism is operable with the tension member to effect tensioning of the tension member. The strap or panel includes a first guide and a second guide and the tension member is routed through both the first guide and the second guide of the strap or panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2025Publication date: May 14, 2026Applicant: BOA Technology, Inc.Inventors: Alessandro MANZATO, Eric WHEWELL, Kristopher LOVETT, Tamara WHITE, Michael FRITON, Luke SCOTTON, Benjamin SAMPLE, Mark KERNS, Robert DICKENSHEETS, Karina KASTNER

Patent number: 12621413Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for controlling a user interface of a video monitoring system, comprising generating, at a first time, a graphical user interface that depicts a first plurality of camera views that correspond to a first camera view configuration of a first security mode captured from cameras installed in an environment. The implementations further include detecting a start of a second security mode at a second time and updating the graphical user interface to depict a second plurality of camera views that correspond to a second camera view configuration of the second security mode in response to detecting the start of the second security mode. Additionally, the implementations further include detecting an end of the second security mode at a third time and updating the graphical user interface to a third camera view configuration of a third security mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2023Date of Patent: May 5, 2026Assignee: Tyco Fire & Security GmbHInventors: Benjamin Sample, Adam Sandler

Patent number: 12424067Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for controlling multi-camera view user interface, comprising generating, for a graphical user interface, a respective camera window for each respective camera of the plurality of cameras in different areas of an environment, wherein the respective camera window outputs a stream captured by the respective camera. The implementations further include arranging the graphical user interface according to a camera window placement scheme based on a layout of the environment. Additionally, the implementations further include generating, for display, a dashboard comprising the graphical user interface organized according to the camera window placement scheme.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2023Date of Patent: September 23, 2025Assignee: Tyco Fire & Security GmbHInventors: Benjamin Sample, Adam Sandler

Publication number: 20250063145Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for providing guidance regarding an incident at a premises to a responder. The premises is equipped with a video management system (VMS) including a network video recorder (NVR). The VMS sends a mobile device, a notification including a location of the incident at the premises. The mobile device displays a map from a current location of the mobile device to the premises. The mobile device transmits, the current location of the mobile device to the VMS. The mobile device receives, from the VMS, one or more virtual resources at the premises near the location of the mobile device. The mobile device adds a camera feed of the mobile device as a new camera within the NVR. The mobile device augments the camera feed on the mobile device with an image associated with the one or more virtual resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2024Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventors: Adam SANDLER, Benjamin SAMPLE, James Lee BAUERLE, JR.

Publication number: 20220279900Abstract: A footwear closure system includes an article of footwear, such as a boot, having an upper portion, a lower portion, and a mid-portion that is positioned between the upper portion and the lower portion. The footwear closure system also includes a plurality of reel based closure devices that are coupled with the footwear. The plurality of reel based closure devices are configured to effect closure or tightening of the upper portion, the lower portion, and the mid-portion of the footwear. Each reel based closure device is independently operable and each reel based closure device effects closure or tightening of one of the upper portion, the lower portion, the mid-portion, or a combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Brett Vladika, John Figueiredo, Karl Wurm, Broc Waring, Kevin Chen, Chris Sagui, Daniel Feeney, Jesse Cotterman, Michael Joseph Nickel, Benjamin Sample, Phillip Horne, Taylor James DiTallo, William Wandling, Mark Jerome Kerns

Patent number: 10772384Abstract: A reel based closure device includes a housing component, a spool that is rotatably positioned within an interior region of the housing component, and a tightening component that is coupled with the housing component. The tightening component is operably coupled with the spool so that an operation of the tightening component causes the spool to rotate within the interior region of the housing component to wind a tension member about the spool. The housing component is configured so that the tension member is routed axially below the housing component's interior region and to one or more guides that are positioned along a lace path of an article, such as a shoe.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: BOA TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventors: Eric Whewell, Alessandro Manzato, Kristopher Lovett, Tamara White, Michael Friton, Luke Scotton, Benjamin Sample, Mark Kerns, Robert Dickensheets
