Publication number: 20200189158Abstract: A reel based tensioning device includes a housing, a spool that is rotatably positioned within the housing, and a knob member that is operably coupled with the spool to cause the spool to rotate in a first direction within the housing and thereby wind a tension member about the spool. The reel based tensioning device also includes a load holding mechanism that is coupled with the spool and that is configured to rotate the spool in the first direction within the housing and to prevent rotation of the spool in a second direction to prevent unwinding of the tension member from about the spool. The reel based tensioning device further includes an audible component that is configured to produce an audible noise responsive to operation of the knob member to signal an adjustment of the tension member.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2019Publication date: June 18, 2020Applicant: Boa Technology Inc.Inventors: Daniel Hipwood, Eric Irwin, Thomas Trudel, Mark Soderberg, Michael Nickel, Oronde Armstrong, Cody Henderson, Greg Langley, William Roushey, Thomas Pollack, Ashley Pickens, Ilya Minkin, Eric Whewell

Publication number: 20200084115Abstract: Example embodiments for identifying and displaying configuration item information are presented herein. A system may involve a proxy server application disposed within a managed network that includes configuration items and a server disposed within a remote network management platform managing the managed network. The server may receive a request to view information representative of a particular configuration item from a client device. Based on the request, the server may obtain the information and transmit a representation of a graphical user interface to the client device. The representation may include a health graphic, a relationship graphic, a timeline graphic, and an activity stream, each of which represent pertinent information about the particular configuration item. The representation may also include a tabbed interface that facilitates navigation between attributes corresponding to the particular configuration item and attributes corresponding to other configuration items in the managed network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2018Publication date: March 12, 2020Inventors: Noam Biran, Madhavi Puvvada, Serina Chang, Sreenevas Subramaniam, Jesus Antonio Castro Cisneros, Brandon Thomas Trudel, Kavitha Kotti

Publication number: 20200068997Abstract: A tension member guide that is configured to direct or route a tension member about a path of an article includes a cover member and a guide member that is partially covered by the cover member. The cover member is attachable to the article and includes a pair of slits or incisions. The guide member is folded along a longitudinal length to form a loop or channel within which the tension member may be inserted. The guide member is positioned in relation to the cover member so that opposing end portions of the loop or channel are inserted through the slits or incisions such that the opposing end portions are positioned on an opposite side of the cover member from a remainder of the guide member.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2019Publication date: March 5, 2020Applicant: Boa Technology Inc.Inventors: Thomas Pollack, Kristopher Lovett, Thomas Trudel, Cody Henderson, Clark Morgan, Mark Soderberg, Anna Hetman

Publication number: 20190266268Abstract: A system may include a database containing representations of configuration items associated with a managed network that is managed by a remote network management platform. The system may also contain a server device that may be configured to determine a set of duplicate representations of a particular configuration item of the configuration items. The configuration items may relate to computing devices and software applications disposed within the managed network. The server device may be further configured to generate a master representation from the set of duplicate configuration items. The server device may replace, in the database, the set of duplicate representations with the master representation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2018Publication date: August 29, 2019Inventors: Chinna Babu Polinati, Madhavi Puvvada, Romit Banerjee, Nikhil Lakshman, Brandon Thomas Trudel, Vivian Tero

Publication number: 20170311682Abstract: A reel for tightening an article includes a housing and a spool positioned within the housing. A knob is coupled with the spool to cause the spool to rotate within the housing and thereby wind a tension member about a central post of the spool. A load holding mechanism is coupled with the spool and the housing and includes a first friction element and a second friction element that are frictionally engageable to prevent rotation of the spool in a second direction to prevent unwinding of the tension member from the spool's central post. Rotation of the knob in a first direction reduces frictional engagement of the friction elements to enable rotation of the spool in the first direction and tension in the tension member biases the spool toward rotation in the second direction which increases the frictional engagement of the friction elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2017Publication date: November 2, 2017Applicant: Boa Technology Inc.Inventors: Thomas Trudel, Eric Craig Irwin, Eric Whewell

Publication number: 20150257489Abstract: According to an embodiment, a tightening system for a climbing shoe includes a tension member, a tightening mechanism that is operationally coupled with the tension member to effect tensioning of the tension member, and a fit adjustment system. The fit adjustment system is coupled with the climbing shoe and operationally coupled with the tension member so that tensioning of the tension member effects tensioning of the fit adjustment system to adjust a fit of the climbing shoe about a user's foot. The fit adjustment system generally includes a plurality of arms or ends that extend from a mid-section. The arms or ends are typically positioned above the climbing shoe's upper and coupled near an eyestay of the shoe. The mid-section commonly extends diagonally across the bottom portion of the shoe between opposing ends or arms of the fit adjustment system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2015Publication date: September 17, 2015Inventor: Thomas Trudel
