Air pressure distribution for airfoil lower and upper surfaces is utilized to divert airflow using ducts formed in space-curve shapes placed inside the airfoil volume, through span-wise located inlets from high pressure areas on the airfoil lower surface near the leading edge and through chord-wise spaced inlets on the side face of the airfoil wing tip correspondingly to the side face of the airfoil wing tip through chord-wise spaced outlets on the side face of the airfoil wing tip and to span-wise located outlets to the low pressure areas on the airfoil upper surface. Triboelectric materials on the wing surfaces are employed to static charge the air in drag. Inside the ducts, the employment of either triboelectric linings and materials, or HV-supplied electrodes, or both, help to static charge the diverted air flow to and from the airfoil wing tip side face to diffuse wing tip vortex core early.

The present invention is a chuck having a vacuum groove that is capable of holding a wafer as the chuck rotates on a spindle. As the chuck rotates the air pressure above the center of the wafer is reduced. In order to reduce the bowing of the wafer that can result from this low pressure area above the wafer, the present invention introduces venturi holes in the chuck which reduces the air pressure in the area below the wafer. In order to prevent the air pressure in the area below the wafer from decreasing too far, the present invention uses air inlet holes to balance the affect of the venturi holes in order to substantially balance the air pressure above and below the wafer which results in significantly less bowing of the wafer when compared to conventional systems. The present invention accomplishes this without requiring sensors or other active measuring devices to help reduce the bowing of the wafer.

Systems and methods for liposuction are disclosed that use a lipid-emulsifying fluid to produce fluid jet disruption and Venturi pumping of fat tissue. The device includes a flexible or rigid probe with an inlet lumen and an outlet lumen. The inlet lumen is in fluid communication with a pump capable of producing high pressures, e.g., 250-3500 psi. The pump is in fluid communication with a volume of a liquid such as sterile saline that may or may not contain a fat emulsifier. At the end of the inlet lumen is a conical constriction or a port that accelerates the emulsification fluid to high velocities. The high velocity jet stream creates a low pressure area that draws the fat tissue into proximity with the jet stream. The jet stream directly and through turbulent vortices breaks up the fat cells. The lipid of the fat cells is subsequently emulsified by the emulsification fluid.

The present application relates to the compressor stator of an axial turbomachine. The stator comprises an annular row of main stator blades and auxiliary blades each of which are associated with a main blade. The auxiliary blades are located at the trailing edges of the main blades and are in the vicinity of the pressure faces of the main blades. The auxiliary blades are aligned to generate a low-pressure area at the trailing edges of the main blades. Thus, a flow bypassing a main blade by its suction face is sucked in by the low-pressure area when it approaches the trailing edge of the main blade. Stalling is thus avoided and the efficiency of the machine is improved.

A cooking appliance incorporates a convection heating system including a housing having an interior portion, a fan assembly, a heating element and an exhaust outlet duct. The exhaust outlet duct, within which is arranged a plurality of controlled vent openings, is positioned in a high pressure area of the convection heating system established about a periphery of the fan assembly and heating element. Oven gases are forced by the high pressure through the exhaust duct, thereby creating a corresponding reduction in pressure. The reduction in pressure establishes a low pressure area within the fan assembly which draws in fresh air in an amount equal to that exhausted through the exhaust duct.
