Patent number: 10557297Abstract: A panel carriage hanger designed to travel slidable along a track, the panel carriage hanger having a cylindrical bore in a body, the bore having a lip substantially at a first end, the lip having a plurality of castellations. An anti-rotating sleeve having a plurality of castellations is located in the bore, and a biasing mechanism provides a substantially downwards force to the anti-rotating sleeve to mate the castellations. The anti-rotating sleeve movable substantially upwards from a first position in the bore where the castellations of the anti-rotating sleeve and the castellations of the bore mate such that the anti-rotating sleeve cannot rotate into a second position in the bore where the anti-rotating sleeve can rotate. A rod passing through and keyed to the anti-rotating sleeve such that the rod and the anti-rotating sleeve can rotate together, or both cannot rotate.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: ASSA ABLOY NEW ZEALAND LIMITEDInventors: Damon Peter Stenhouse, Nolan Couzyn, Bryce Alan Molloy, Peter Qin

Publication number: 20190194995Abstract: A panel carriage hanger slidable along a track and having a body, rollers attached to the body to allow the body to travel along the track and a cylindrical bore in the body. The cylindrical bore has a lip including a plurality of castellations. The panel carriage hanger includes an anti-rotating sleeve inserted into the cylindrical bore, the castellations of the anti-rotating sleeve are mateable with the castellations of the cylindrical bore. The anti-rotating sleeve is movable from a first position in the bore where the anti-rotating sleeve can rotate in the bore and a second position in the bore where the castellations of the anti-rotating sleeve and the castellations of the cylindrical bore mate such that the anti-rotating sleeve cannot rotate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: June 27, 2019Inventors: Duncan Duff McGregor, Nolan Couzyn, Bryce Alan Molloy, Peter Qin

Patent number: 7752172Abstract: A processor (2) in a transaction processing system (1) has an event engine and a scenario engine. The event engine stores a framework (20) for each entity or type of service. The framework (20) has a parent class (21) and subsidiary classes (22-27). In real time the event engine instantiates an event object from a relevant class (22-27), giving it an effective time on a timeline of the parent class (21). The event objects many subsequently be handled as autonomous units for generation of reports or batch processing. The event engine moves the event objects between states of a finite state machine. A scenario engine also manipulates objects according to a finite state machine with future dates as the effective times. There is a state transition from the scenario environment to the event engine (live) environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2005Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Neos financial Systems LimitedInventors: Jonathan Boylan, Rory Connolly, Eoin Kirwan, Ann McCorry, Alan Molloy
