Patent number: 11946478Abstract: There is provided a fan assembly comprising a motor-driven impeller arranged to generate an airflow, an air outlet arranged to emit the airflow, a plurality of sensors arranged to measure a value for each of a plurality of air quality characteristics, a display and a processor. The processor is configured to receive measured values for each of the plurality of air quality characteristics, identify one of a corresponding set of intervals within which the measured value falls and select an air quality index value associated with the identified interval. The processor is then configured to identify the highest of the selected air quality index values as a current overall air quality index value and to cause the display to display a time series plot of the current air quality index value and a number of preceding air quality index values.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: David John Shorter, Liam Craig Barclay, Mark Douglas Whiting, Victoria Isabelle Palmer, Jonathan Edward Clear, Edward Michael Waugh, Daniel James Beavis, Thomas Sideropoulos, James Benjamin Brooks

Publication number: 20210095681Abstract: There is provided a method of controlling a direction of an airflow emitted from a fan assembly, the fan assembly being capable of changing the direction of the airflow emitted therefrom to any direction within a range of adjustment of the fan assembly. The method comprises receiving user inputs that select an angle of oscillation and that determine a central emission direction for the airflow emitted from the fan assembly, and controlling the emission direction of the fan assembly such that the emitted airflow oscillates through the selected angle of oscillation with the oscillation of the emitted airflow being centered at the central emission direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2019Publication date: April 1, 2021Applicant: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Mark James ADKIN, David Edwin HALLS, Liam Craig BARCLAY, Adam James SANDERS, Georgios BAFALOUKAS

Publication number: 20200400335Abstract: There is provided a fan assembly comprising a motor-driven impeller arranged to generate an airflow, an air outlet arranged to emit the airflow, at least one filter assembly that is arranged to purify the airflow, a plurality of sensors arranged to measure a value for each of a plurality of air quality characteristic, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive measured values for each of the plurality of air quality characteristics, identify one of a corresponding set of intervals within which the measured value falls, select an air quality index value associated with the identified interval, and generate a corresponding speed value using the selected air quality index value. The processor is then configured to set a speed of the motor-driven impeller in dependence upon the highest of the speed values.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2019Publication date: December 24, 2020Applicant: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: David John SHORTER, Liam Craig BARCLAY, Mark Douglas WHITING, Victoria Isabelle PALMER, Jonathan Edward CLEAR, Edward Michael WAUGH, Daniel James BEAVIS, Thomas SIDEROPOULOS, James Benjamin BROOKS
