A fan assembly for creating an air current is described. The fan assembly includes a nozzle mounted on a base housing a device for creating an air flow through the nozzle. The nozzle includes an interior passage for receiving the air flow from the base, a mouth through which the air flow is emitted, the mouth being defined by facing surfaces of the nozzle, and spacers for spacing apart the facing surfaces of the nozzle. The nozzle extends substantially orthogonally about an axis to define an opening through which air from outside the fan assembly is drawn by the air flow emitted from the mouth. The fan provides an arrangement producing an air current and a flow of cooling air created without requiring a bladed fan. The spacers can provide for a reliable, reproducible nozzle of the fan assembly and performance of the fan assembly.

A lift-type turbine comprising at least three blades at circumferentially spaced positions is supported for rotation about a vertical axis. Each blade has an airfoil shape to generate a torque about the axis responsive to wind across the blades. A support comprising cables under tension is connected between adjacent ones of the blades to extend generally circumferentially about the turbine. Accordingly a minimum number of parts form the structure of the blades while minimizing the drag produced during rotation thereof due to the support members lying in a common circumferential path. The tension of the support members can support the blades in a pre-stressed condition to optimize the shape and performance thereof.

A method of fluxing or degassing a molten metal residing as a bath in a furnace. The bath of molten metal includes a bath surface height and the method provides at least one rotating impeller in the molten metal bath to initiate a flow of the molten metal. The flow in the molten metal results in elevating a portion of the molten metal above the bath surface height where at least one of a fluxing agent and an inert gas is introduced into the elevated portion of the molten metal.

An electrical connection between a vibratory rotation sensor and a hermetic header which makes use of a local interference fit to provide a high degree of mechanical isolation between the sensor and the header. The electrical connection includes an electrical pin extending from the header which is connected to the sensor through a coil spring. The pin includes an enlarged portion having a maximal dimension greater than an inner diameter of the coil spring to provide an interference fit between the coil spring and the pin. The degree of interference is variable controlled by selecting the dimensions of the enlarged portion of the pin and the coil spring. The degree of mechanical isolation between the header and sensor can also be chosen by selecting the location of the enlarged portion along a length of the pin. This provides a reliable electrical connection which maintains a high degree of mechanical isolation.

Application of carbon fiber reinforced polymer structures to metal vehicle wheels is effective in reducing the mass of the wheel while retaining suitable stiffness in the wheel structure. For maximum effect the reinforced polymer structure and the metal wheel must operate cooperatively. Because of the wide range of operating temperatures experienced by wheels and the large difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between metals and carbon fiber reinforced composites attachment of the polymer structure to the wheel by adhesive alone is problematical. However a wheel with an effective and durable reinforcement may be fabricated by confining, through mechanical interference, the reinforced polymer in a cavity in or on the spoke and by preheating the wheel before curing the polymer.

The system and attendant structure includes a mounting assembly structured for containment and support of the alternate fuel and a containment area disposed on the vehicle and structured and dimensioned to retain the mounting assembly therein. The containment area and the mounting assembly are disposed in laterally adjacent, exposed relation to an operator area of the mine haul truck, wherein the mounting assembly and the containment area are cooperatively disposed and structured to facilitate storage of the alternate fuel and operative communication and distribution thereof with the powering engine of the mine haul vehicle.

A first sub-assembly useful in an electro-optic display is produced by: providing an electro-optic sub-assembly comprising a layer of electro-optic medium; providing an adhesive sub-assembly comprising an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer being larger than the layer of electro-optic medium and having one or more apertures; adhering the adhesive sub-assembly to the electro-optic sub-assembly so that a part of the adhesive layer adheres to the layer of electro-optic medium but the aperture(s) are spaced from the layer of electro-optic medium. A second sub-assembly comprises a conductive layer and a layer of electro-optic medium. The conductive layer has a main section covered by the electro-optic medium, an exposed section free from the electro-optic medium, and a weak section connecting the main section and the exposed section, so that the exposed section can be manipulated to rupture the weak section, thus separating the exposed section from the main section without substantial damage.

A sterilizer includes a vacuum chamber, a source of vaporizable sterilant, a vacuum pump, and a control system.
