But Dyson did away with those, replacing them with a graceful ring set atop a cylindrical base. In essence, the device works like a vacuum cleaner in reverse. The motor in the base of the fan sucks in air and pushes it up into the ring. The air rushes out of tiny, millimeter-long slots that run along the circular frame and flows down a gently sloping ramp. As the air emerges from the ramp, it creates a circular...

In fact, the West Point site was chosen by Kia in part because of its proximity to Hyundai's manufacturing facility, creating efficiencies for both companies as well as their suppliers, notes Kia spokesman Alex Fedorak. Suppliers are expected to create as many as 7,500 jobs in an area hard hit by the shutdown of local textile mills...
...people getting root canals merited a musical intervention, he thought, why not people undergoing brain surgery? Patients with conditions such as epilepsy, brain tumors, severe depression, and obsessive-compulsive and motor disorders like Parkinson's have to be awake for surgical procedures that often take several hours. Janigro and his team decided to use that wakeful period to determine whether music made the subjects' experience in the operating room less stressful...
Janigro wanted to perform similar studies on motor centers deep within the brain. Because music is often associated with movement - like tapping one's feet - he theorized that music could be used to modify the activity of thalamic and subthalamic neurons, which are located in the same area where a neuronal pacemaker is implanted during deep-brain stimulation...
