Patent NZ-502734-A (NZ)
Title: Cylinder disc tumbler lock with dual function disc tumbler and key
Inventor: BLIGHT BRIAN
IPC: G05B19/4093
Filed: 1998-08-10
Abstract: A tubular lock having a body and a barrel assembly, which is mounted within the body bore (3) for relative rotation about an axis.  The assembly includes a tubular sleeve (4) and a number of disc tumblers located within the sleeve (4) so that each is rotatable relative to the sleeve (4) and relative to one another about the axis.  A side locking bar (9) is operative to prevent rotation of the assembly relative to the body, and the bar (9) is rendered inoperative by insertion of a correct key into the lock keyway.  The disc tumblers rotate in response to insertion of a key into the keyway and include a number of standard tumblers and a special tumbler.  The locking bar (9) is inoperative when each standard tumbler is at a service position of rotation and the special tumbler is at either a service position or a second function position of rotation.  A service key is operable to place all tumblers at the service position, and a special change key is operable to place the special tumbler at the second function position and to place all other tumblers at the service position.  When the special tumbler is at the second function position it releases a movable detent (23), which is otherwise operative to prevent axial removal of the assembly (2) from the body.  Removal is not possible until the change key is turned to rotate the assembly to a position at which a fixed detent (28) is aligned with a longitudinal groove (33) of the body.

Patent NZ-507649-A (NZ)
Title: Targeted advertisement using television delivery systems
Inventor: HENDRICKS JOHN
IPC: H04N21/25
Filed: 1999-04-01
Abstract: The multiple channel architecture (265) is designed  to allow targeted advertising directed to television terminals (220) connected to an operations centre (202)  or  a  cable headend  (208). Program channels carry television  programs. The  invention  uses upstream data reception hardware  (262, 275,  297),  databases (301) and processing  hardware  (285, 293)  and  software  to accomplish these  functions.  During commercial    breaks    in    the television    programs, advertisements,  which  are also broadcast on  the  program channel,  are displayed. However, additional feeder channels carry  alternate advertising that may be better  suited  for certain  viewing audiences. The operations centre  (202)  or the cable  headend (208) generate a group  assignment  plan (293,  299) that assigns the television terminals  (220)  to groups,  based on factors such as area of dominant influence and  household  income.  A switching  plan  (291)  is  then generated that instructs the television terminals  (220)  to remain  with the program channel or to switch to one of  the alternate  feeder  channels during the program  breaks.  The television  terminals  (220)  record  which channels   were viewed   during   the  program  breaks,  and   report this information  to  the cable headend (208) and the  operations centre  (202). The reported information is used to  generate billing for  commercial advertisers, and to analyse  viewer watching habits.
Patent NZ-508003-A (NZ)
Title: Method and system for portioning and orientating whole fish or other elongate, non-symetrical articles
Inventor: NIELSEN ULRICH CARLIN
IPC: A22C/
Filed: 1999-04-29
Abstract: When packaging whole fishes in fish boxes, the fishes should be placed with mutually inverted orientations for a good exploitation of the box space.  It is well-known to arrange for this purely manually, while at the same time aiming for a reasonably well-defined total weight of the content of the box.  Disclosed is the use of a computer-controlled merging of the fishes to build up specific weight-determined groups of fishes, normally for ensuring a predetermined minimum weight.  Also disclosed is computer-control of the turning means for the fishes so that in the individual groups the fishes will automatically appear with a suitable division between mutually opposite orientations.
