Abstract: There is provided a fan assembly comprising a motor-driven impeller for creating an airflow and a nozzle comprising a first air outlet. The nozzle defines a bore through which air from outside the fan assembly is drawn by any portion of the airflow that is emitted from the first outlet and which combines with the airflow emitted from the first air outlet to produce an amplified airflow. The fan assembly further comprises a second air outlet arranged such that any portion of the airflow that is emitted from the second air outlet does not draw air through the bore defined by the nozzle thereby producing a non-amplified airflow.

Abstract: A method and system to provide multi-layered access control for healthcare datasets are disclosed. The method comprises defining an information policy for each of healthcare datasets, wherein the information policy comprises information access permissions.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed to control flow of victim transactions received at a coherent interconnect from a coherent device of a processing system. A victim transaction is received from the coherent device at the coherent interconnect if a value of a first token indicates that at least one victim transaction is available to be received by the coherent interconnect. A victim transaction is available to be received by the coherent interconnect for each increment of the value of the first token greater than zero. The value of the first token is decremented for each victim transaction received by the coherent interconnect from the coherent device. An indication of the value of the first token is sent to the coherent device from the coherent interconnect.
