Publication number: 20240125149Abstract: An exemplary trim assembly comprises an escutcheon, a drive spindle, a lock mechanism, a cam mechanism, and a driver. The drive spindle is mounted to the escutcheon for rotation about a longitudinal axis. The lock mechanism includes a lock gear movably mounted in the escutcheon. The cam mechanism includes a first cam defined by the escutcheon and a second cam defined by the lock gear. The driver is operable to rotate the lock gear between a first rotational position and a second rotational position. The cam mechanism is configured to longitudinally drive the lock gear from a first longitudinal position to a second longitudinal position as the lock gear rotates from the first rotational position to the second rotational position. Movement of the lock gear between the first longitudinal position and the second longitudinal position transitions the lock mechanism between a locked state and an unlocked state.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Tejas V.

Publication number: 20220268464Abstract: A system and accompanying methods for sanitizing indoor air is disclosed. The system may receive air from an air supply unit and analyze characteristics associated with the received air, such as by utilizing sensors of a sensor unit. Based upon the characteristics of the air, the system may direct the air along one of multiple possible pathways. In certain embodiments, the system may include determining, based on an analysis of the characteristics of the air, whether the air requires treatment and, if the air requires treatment, whether the air can be treated. Based on the analysis, the system may allow the air to pass directly into an indoor environment without treatment, activate one or more treatment modules to treat the air if the air can be treated, or activate an exhaust module to exhaust the air to another environment if the air requires treatment but cannot be treated effectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Applicant: NoviSphere, LLCInventors: Paul Jenkins, Paul Lockhart, Cindy Egnarski, Phil Lasarsky, Joshua Mikels
