Abstract: There is provided a nozzle for a fan assembly. The nozzle comprises a nozzle body, an air inlet for receiving an air flow, and one or more air outlets for emitting the air flow. The nozzle body has the general shape of a truncated ellipsoid, with a first truncation forming a face of the nozzle body and a second truncation forming a base of the nozzle body. The one or more air outlets are provided on the face of the nozzle body. Preferably, the air inlet is provided at the base of the nozzle body.

Abstract: A plurality of clinics proximate a physical location of a client device of a user is identified, and wait-time information is transmitted to the client device. The user of the client selects one of the plurality of clinics, and a position in the customer queue of the clinic is reserved.

Abstract: There is provided a nozzle for a fan assembly. The nozzle comprises an air inlet for receiving an air flow, a first air outlet for emitting an air flow and a second air outlet for emitting an air flow. The first and second air outlets comprise a pair of curved slots that are provided on a face of the nozzle, and the first and second air outlets are oriented towards a convergent point. The first air outlet and the second air outlet may be oriented towards a convergent point that is located on a central axis of the face of the nozzle.

Abstract: A cyclonic separator comprising a cyclone chamber defined between an outer wall and a shroud. The shroud comprises an inlet opening through which fluid enters the cyclone chamber, and a plurality of perforations through which fluid exits the cyclone chamber. Fluid within the cyclone chamber is then free to spiral about the shroud and over the inlet opening.

Abstract: An autonomous surface treating appliance comprising a chassis having a drive arrangement and a control system interfaced to the drive arrangement so as enable control of the appliance across a surface to be treated, wherein the drive arrangement comprises at least one traction unit, each traction unit comprising a surface-engaging track constrained around a leading wheel and a trailing wheel, the leading wheel and the trailing wheel being arranged so that a track portion opposing the floor surface and extending between the leading and trailing wheels defines a ramped climbing surface.

Abstract: A tool for a vacuum cleaner that comprises a nozzle and a bristle assembly. The nozzle comprises an elongate suction opening. The bristle assembly, which is mounted within the nozzle and protrudes through the suction opening, comprises a carrier to which a strip of bristles is attached.

Abstract: A bladeless fan assembly for creating an air current includes a nozzle mounted on a base. The nozzle comprises an interior passage and a mouth for receiving the air flow from the interior passage and through which the air flow is emitted from the fan assembly. The nozzle defines an opening through which air from outside the fan assembly is drawn by the air flow emitted from the mouth. The nozzle is detachable from the base, which is preferably sized to be accommodated within the opening of the nozzle for transportation.

Abstract: A fan assembly for creating an air current includes an air outlet mounted on a stand. The stand includes a base and a body tiltable relative to the base. Each of the base and the body has an outer surface shaped so that adjoining portions of the outer surfaces are substantially flush when the body is in the untilted position.
