  • Patent number: 9501388
    Abstract: A method for updating a test description for an automated computer test. The method includes comparing a received image from the system under test with one or more existing reference images to identify an expected image. If the expected image is not identified, the method further includes obtaining metadata for the expected image, using a processing device to create a new reference image using, at least, the said metadata, storing the new reference image using a storage device, updating the test description using the new reference image, and utilizing the updated test description in a further automated computer test.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8800727
    Abstract: A wet disc brake system is described which includes a housing assembly and brake callipers. The housing assembly is provided with openings for seating cylinders of respective brake callipers. The callipers are coupled to a structural component of a vehicle to which the system is fitted and in particular a flange of an axle housing. This enables reactive forces created during a braking operation to be transmitted via the callipers to the flange and axle housing rather than being carried by housing assembly. As the housing assembly does not bear any substantive load, it may be made of a relatively light weight construction or material.
