  • Patent number: 11865556
    Abstract: Various implementations include, an out-of-plane feedback-type fluidic oscillator. including a first portion, a second portion, a middle portion coupled between the first portion and the middle portion, and an axis of rotation. The middle portion includes a first side, a second side opposite and spaced apart from the first side, and a middle plane, an interaction chamber, a fluid supply inlet, an outlet nozzle, a first feedback a channel, and a second feedback channel. The first side is coupled to the first portion, and the second side is coupled to the second portion. The first side, the second side, and the middle plane extend circumferentially around the axis of rotation. The middle plane is disposed equally distanced from the first side and the second side. The fluid stream oscillates as it flows through the interaction chamber such that the fluid stream oscillates as the fluid stream exits the outlet nozzle.

  • Patent number: 8388335
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide improvements to dies used in the formation of pressware from blanks. In some embodiments, the die includes at least one stop that helps contain the blank as it is fed to the die and that allows for improved adjustability of the stop with respect to the die. In some embodiments, the die includes a defined recess that contains and centers the blank on the die as the blank is fed to the die.
