Publication number: 20260074585Abstract: An air-moving device may include an aerodynamic stator. The aerodynamic stator may be positioned forward of a motor of the air-moving device and aftward of an aerodynamic rotor of the air-moving device. A control unit may be integrated in and in thermal communication with the aerodynamic stator. The aerodynamic stator may transfer heat from the control unit to thermally conductive stator vanes of the aerodynamic stator. An airflow generated by the aerodynamic rotor may facilitate heat dissipation from the thermally conductive stator vanes. The aerodynamic stator may include electrically conductive stator vanes. The electrically conductive stator vanes may provide at least one of power or control signaling to the control unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2025Publication date: March 12, 2026Inventors: Patrick Brew, Matthew Alan Dempsey, Devon Jadamski, Andy Le, Chris Peterson, Paul Rothhaar, Andy Yoon, David Gelwan

Patent number: 12103867Abstract: A method and an attachment assembly for supporting a quartz sleeve, comprises at least one vibration resistant member, a collar attachment member and a support plate. The at least one vibration resistant member is adaptable to hold and support the quartz sleeve positioned inside an ultraviolet (UV) cylinder and thereby to prevent its vibration. The collar attachment member is configured to enclose the at least one vibration resistant member. The at least one vibration resistant member is positioned inside the collar attachment member. The support plate is configured to attach the collar attachment member containing the at least one vibration resistant member with the UV cylinder. The attachment assembly can be attached to the UV cylinder wall directly or can be attached to a mounting device inside the UV cylinder wall.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2018Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: ADVANCED UV, INC.Inventors: Mark Toma, Andy Le
