Abstract: A system and method for creating substantially continuous circulation within a volume to be managed comprising at least two ductless devices including three exit zones, and a method for designing a system for increasing internal air turns in a volume of air to be managed within a facility, comprising determining locations of existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system components, determining preferred locations of the at least two ductless devices, and continuously moving air through the at least two ductless devices.

Abstract: A method, a method for designing a system, and a system for creating substantially continuous circulation within a volume to be managed using one or more devices that are neither HVAC-based nor duct-based. The method includes one or more devices continuously drawing air, continuously processing air, and continuously pushing air through at least three exit zones. The method for designing a system includes determining the approximate volume of the facility or the approximate volume of air to be managed within the facility, determining the location of objects with an impact on air flow or temperature of the facility, and determining the number, type, and preferred locations of the one or more devices to install in the facility. The system includes one or more devices continuously drawing air, continuously processing air, and continuously pushing air through at least three exit zones.

Abstract: A device for managing air flow within a volume and/or within the device throw area or range, which includes an air transfer component, an entrance to the device, air induction ports, directional vanes, and three exit zones that incorporate lattices. The device minimizes or eliminates air pockets, air stratification, inconsistent temperature, and increases interior air turns within the volume of air to be managed.

Abstract: A looseleaf binder mechanism having a pin-and-slot mounted shiftable latching slide provided with novel positive detenting means comprising an elastomeric washer mounted on the pin and cooperable with a protuberance formed on the latching member intermediate the ends of the slot, to thereby hold the latching member detented in its respective shifted end positions.
