Abstract: A compact portable misting fan includes a novel and attractive housing which makes extremely efficient use of space, encased fan blades which are mounted between front and rear baffles, a liquid reservoir with an atomizer, conveniently located mist and fan controls, and an easily accessible battery compartment. The housing has a substantially flat profile with a substantially cylindrical upper section in which the fan is mounted and a substantially rectilinear lower section in which the reservoir and batteries are contained. The fan on/off switch is located on a lower portion of the cylindrical upper section and the misting button is located on an upper portion of the rectilinear lower section and on a side opposite to the fan switch. It is easily held in the user's hand so that the fan and the mister can be operated separately by thumb or index finger. A small hole is provided in the housing for the outlet of the atomizer.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for multiplexing data transmissions exchanged between a host computer system and a user workstation connected by a communications link. One or more host application programs reside upon and are executed by the host computer system while a terminal emulation program having the capability of simultaneously displaying one or more host application program screens resides upon and is executed by the user workstation. The data transmission multiplexing system comprises a session manager program residing upon and executed by the host computer system for establishing one or more program sessions with the host application programs, each of the program sessions generating its own individual datastreams, and a single program session with the terminal emulation program utilizing a single connection between the host computer system and the user workstation.
