Abstract: A diffuser includes a lower element and an upper element. The upper element is fixed on the lower element, and the upper element and the lower element are formed separately. The lower element includes a lower inner wall and a lower outer wall, and the upper element includes an upper inner wall and an upper outer wall. The upper inner wall is connected to the lower inner wall to form an internal air-guiding surface, the upper outer wall is connected to the lower outer wall to form an external air-guiding surface, and the internal air-guiding surface is disposed opposite to the external air-guiding surface to define an air-guiding channel for air flow diffusion. The upper element further includes an upper air-guiding wing for connecting the upper inner wall and the upper outer wall, and the lower element further includes a lower air-guiding wing for connecting the lower inner wall and the lower outer wall.

Abstract: An air conditioner is provided. A main body of the air conditioner is provided with an air outlet having a front opening. The main body is also provided with a side air guide member for guiding airflow to at least one of a left side and a right side of the air conditioner.

Abstract: A control method for an air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner has a retractable top air output mechanism provided at a top thereof. The control method includes: controlling, in response to a specified wind shower instruction in a cooling mode, the top air output mechanism to stretch towards an outside of the air conditioner to open an air outlet of the top air output mechanism; adjusting, based on the specified wind shower instruction, an air-out included angle of the top air output mechanism to be within a first angle range; and adjusting, based on the specified wind shower instruction, a supply air speed of the top air output mechanism to be within a first air speed range.

Abstract: Disclosed are an air duct assembly and a fan heater applying in the air duct assembly, which includes a volute tongue positioned in the volute forms an air duct with the volute. The air duct is configured with an air inlet and an air outlet. A cross-flow wind turbine positioned in the air duct introduce the airflow into the air duct from the air inlet, and blow out the airflow in the air duct through the air outlet. The volute includes a first volute tongue member, the size of the angle between the line connecting the root portion M of the first volute tongue member to the axis O of the cross-flow wind turbine and the line connecting the root portion N of the second volute tongue member to the axis O of the cross-flow wind turbine on the same cross-section is from 110° to 170°.

Abstract: A hierarchical software update distribution system and method for distributing software updates is presented. The update distribution system includes a root update service node and at least one update service node. In an update distribution system, each update service node, except the root update service node, has one parent update service node. Each update service node may function as a parent update service node to child update service nodes.

Abstract: A method for controlling the update installation behavior of a computing device according to installation attributes is presented. When present, a mandatory installation attribute associated with a software update causes the installation process executed on the computing device to disallow a user to selectively not install the software update. A priority installation attribute causes the computing device to request a higher amount of network bandwidth for obtaining the software update's content for installation on the client computing device. A deadline installation attribute associated with the software update causes the computing device to permit a user to selectively not install the software update until an associated deadline passes, at which time the software update is installed without further user interaction.
