Patent NZ-505346-A (NZ)
Title: An electric lock that automatically adjusts to be operated with a range of supply voltages
Inventor: HINGSTON NEIL RICHARD
IPC: E05B63/00
Filed: 1998-12-23
Abstract: An electric lock wherein the operation of the lock can be changed at a user lever by adjustment of a toggle component (14) in the bolt actuator.  This adjustment is carried out in conjunction with switching the electrical operation of the lock by means of a simple jumper switch (25). This allows a lock to be manufactured and sold according to a single design whereby the operation (i.e. power-to-lock or power-to-unlock) may be set by a user.  The lock also provides for a manual, preferably key, override system (101), which operates in a mechanical and/or electrical manner.  This embodiment overrides the normal operation of the lock. The lock described is compact, unitary and requires little operator adjustment to install and operate. The lock further incorporates auto-sensing functionality (20, 21, 22, 23) in respect of its supply voltage.

Title: Equine system for non-surgical artificial insemination
Inventor: SQUIRES EDWARD L
IPC: A61K35/52
Filed: 1999-07-29
Abstract: Non-surgical artificial insemination is achieved for sexed and unsexed equines in a commercially practical manner and with dosages of insemination sperm that were not previously thought to be practical for commercial implementation. Practical and field usable techniques for insemination are presented as well as techniques which offer success ratios at level comparable to the existing routine, high dosage unsexed artificial insemination techniques in equines. Improved insemination and sorting systems particularly adapted to use for sex-selected sperm are disclosed. Such artificial insemination techniques include depositing the sperm at the tip of the uterine horn with a flexible probe or pipette to allow fertilization to occur. Such techniques are further improved by first confirming that the mare has ovulated before insemination. Such techniques allow for the successful insemination with very low numbers of sperm.

Title: Living space heat transfer system where air transfer fan is operated by an electronic controller connected to living space and roof space sensors
Inventor: DARTNALL JONATHAN KIM
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: A heat transfer system is described for controlling the transfer of heat from a roof space into a living space of a building.  The heat transfer unit (10) includes a flexible duct (14) and a ceiling vent (16) for transferring warm air from within the roof space (12) into a living space (18) below.  An electric fan (20) located at the top end of the flexible duct (14) is arranged to draw warm air from the roof space (12) down through the duct (14) into the living space (18).  A first temperature sensor (22) mounted adjacent the top end of the flexible duct (14) senses the temperature of the air within the roof space (12).  A second temperature sensor (24) located in the room below senses the temperature of the air within the living space (18).  An electronic controller (26) controls the operation of the electric fan (22) in response to temperature sensing signals from the first and second temperature sensors (22, 24) respectively.  In particular, the controller (26) ensures that the electric fan (22) is only activated when the air temperature within the roof space exceeds the air temperature within the living space by a predetermined temperature difference. The unit (10) can also be employed in a cooling mode.
