Publication number: 20170265590Abstract: A closure system for a boot or other footwear includes a tension member that is disposed within the boot and routed or guided about a path within the boot via one or more guides. The closure system also includes an adjustment member that is disposed within the boot and operably coupled with the tension member. The closure system further includes a reel based closure device having a knob that is operable to tension the tension member and to release tension from the tension member. Tensioning of the tension member adjusts a fit of the adjustment member about a foot within the boot to secure the foot within the boot and loosening of the tension member adjusts the fit of the adjustment member about the foot to allow the foot to be more easily removed from the boot.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2017Publication date: September 21, 2017Applicant: Boa Technology Inc.Inventors: Robert Burns, Charles Hamilton, Ilya Minkin, Rebecca Peterson, Aaron Venturini, Tamara White

Patent number: 9748096Abstract: A method for preparing semiconductor nanocrystals is disclosed. The method includes adding one or more cation precursors and one or more anion precursors in a reaction mixture including a solvent in a reaction vessel, maintaining the reaction mixture at a first temperature and for a first time period sufficient to produce semiconductor nanocrystal seed particles of the cation and the anion, and maintaining the reaction mixture at a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature for a second time period sufficient to enlarge the semiconductor nanocrystal seed particles to produce semiconductor nanocrystals from the cation and the anion.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2014Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Charles Hamilton, Justin W. Kamplain, Catherine Mauck, Whitney Miller, Jonathan S. Steckel, Chunming Wang, Zhiming Wang

Publication number: 20170006951Abstract: A helmet includes a fit adjustment system that is operable to adjust a fit of the helmet about a user's head. The fit adjustment system includes a base member, a tightening mechanism, a tension member, and a plurality of guide members that are attached to an interior of the helmet. The guide members guide the tension member about a path within the interior of the helmet and define a gap within which the user's head is positioned when the helmet is positioned about the user's head. Operation of the tightening mechanism tensions the tension member, which reduces the gap defined by the tension member's path and causes one or more components of the fit adjustment system's components to constrict about the user's head.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2016Publication date: January 12, 2017Applicant: Boa Technology, Inc.Inventors: Aaron Venturini, Charles Hamilton, Christopher Johnstone, Jonathan Slavik, Robert Burns, Tamara White
