Patent number: 12234837Abstract: A fan assembly includes a fan body, a motor-driven impeller contained within the fan body and arranged to generate an air flow, a nozzle including a nozzle body having an air inlet arranged to receive the air flow from the fan body, and one or more air outlets arranged to emit the airflow from the fan assembly. The fan assembly further includes a nozzle retaining mechanism for releasably retaining the nozzle on the fan body, and a rotation mechanism for rotating the nozzle body relative to the fan body. The nozzle rotation mechanism includes a rotation motor arranged to drive a drive member and a driven member that is arranged to be driven by the drive member to rotate around a rotation axis.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2023Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Steven Eduard Peet, Neil Andrew Stewart, Robert James Fryer, Adam Daniel Jouques, Victoria Anne Dorothy Gibson-Robinson, Harriet Rebecca White, Stephen Andrew Baker, Thomas Greer Duvall, Jack David Collins

Publication number: 20050029532Abstract: Certain materials are electroluminescent, and this electroluminescent effect has been used in the construction of backlights for displays. Such a backlight commonly consists of a transparent front layer (11) known as the substrate carrying over its rear face a transparent electrically-conductive film (12) forming the back-light's front electrode and covered by a layer of electroluminescent/phosphor material (13) over the rear face of which is a high-dielectric dielectric layer (16) bearing on its rear face a conductive film (17) forming the back electrode. The whole is positioned behind a mask (18) that defines whatever characters the display is to show. This use of a mask has some disadvantages, some of which can be overcome by utilizing an array of suitably shaped individual electrodes (21) instead of a continuous one; however, this itself has drawbacks, since the lead (22) to each electrode acts as an electrode in its own right, activating the phosphor to show faint but distracting additional illumination.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Applicant: PELIKON LIMITEDInventors: Christopher Barnardo, Richard Blakeney, James Fryer, Frank Tyldesley
