Abstract: A bladeless fan is provided. In one embodiment, a bladeless fan is provided having a base, a support arm extending from the base, and a fan arm movably coupled to the support arm. The fan arm can have nozzles configured to emit airflow along a plane. The base, support arm, and fan arm can be configured to allow independent adjustment of an amount of airflow from each of the nozzles, independent adjustment of a direction of airflow from each of the nozzles, and adjustment of a position of the plane.

Abstract: A bladeless fan is provided. In one embodiment, a bladeless fan is provided having a base having an impeller disposed therein, a support rod extending from the base, and a fan arm movably coupled to the support rod at a connection joint. The impeller and the support rod can be axially aligned along a central axis of the base. At least a portion of the connection joint can be horizontally aligned with the central axis of the base. The fan arm can have nozzles disposed therein which are horizontally offset from the central axis of the base.

Abstract: A bladeless fan is provided. In one embodiment, a bladeless fan is provided having a base, a support rod extending from the base, and a fan arm movably coupled to the support rod. The base, the support rod, and the fan arm can include a first adjustment point configured to allow the fan arm to be positioned in a first horizontal orientation and a second vertical orientation, a second adjustment point configured to allow adjustment of a radial position of the fan arm around a longitudinal axis of the support rod, and at least one additional adjustment point configured to allow at least one of rotational adjustment of at least a portion of the fan arm about a longitudinal axis of the fan arm and adjustment of a distance between the base and the fan arm.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a lacrosse head and a method of manufacture to form the same. A lacrosse head may include a scoop, a throat, and a pair of opposed sidewalls configured to interconnect the scoop to the throat, each sidewall having an interior edge and an exterior edge. The lacrosse head may further include a hub connected to the throat, the hub including a socket configured to receive a stick. Additionally, at least one of the scoop, throat, pair of opposed sidewalls, and hub comprise a matrix material embedded with a plurality of substantially randomly dispersed reinforcing fibers. A method of forming a lacrosse head may include forming a mold assembly having a positive side and a negative side, mixing a composite matrix material by feeding chopped reinforcing fibers randomly into a resinous material, setting the matrix material into the mold assembly, and closing the mold assembly.

Abstract: An ophthalmic lens design and modeling system comprises a user interface providing functionality for generating a template associated with a desired lens design to be manufactured, the template comprising design information sufficient for generating three-dimensional (3D) models of lens, and 3D models of associated components required for lens manufacture in an ophthalmic lens manufacturing system. The system further includes functionality for generating and/or specifying linking information, via the user interface, that governs the physical behavior of lens design features included in said template in accordance with one or more process parameters affecting lens manufacture and manufacture of associated components in an ophthalmic lens manufacturing system. The use of the template and design and linking information therein thus facilitates rapid lens modeling and lens manufacturing operations with greater accuracy, thereby reducing lens design build and test (DBT) cycle time.
