Abstract: An upright surface cleaning apparatus comprises a surface cleaning head, a support structure moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head between a storage position and a floor cleaning position, a cleaning unit removably mounted to the support structure and a wand that is removably mounted to the support structure. The wand is removable while the cleaning unit remains in position on the support structure and the cleaning unit is removable while the wand remains in position on the support structure. When the wand and the cleaning unit are each mounted to the support structure, the wand has an inlet end that is positioned in a portion of the support structure which supports the cleaning unit and the portion of the support structure remains mounted to the surface cleaning head when the wand is removed.

Abstract: A hand vacuum cleaner has an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet. A cyclone chamber positioned in the air flow path has a cyclone air inlet and a cyclone air outlet. A pre-motor filter is positioned downstream of the cyclone air outlet and a suction motor is positioned in the air flow path downstream of the pre-motor filter. The pre-motor filter is vertically spaced from the cyclone axis of rotation when the upper end of the hand vacuum cleaner is positioned above the lower end of the hand vacuum cleaner, and air travels generally rearwardly from the pre-motor filter to the suction motor.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for an environmental control system. In one example embodiment, the system is an HVAC system including an HRV or ERV unit, a first distribution system, and an ambient energy distribution system. The first distribution system has a first end in thermal communication with the HRV or ERV unit and a second end in thermal communication with the interior of a domicile. The ambient energy distribution system extends between first and second locations in the domicile and is isolated from fluid flow communication with the first distribution system. The ambient energy distribution system transfers heat between the first and second locations.

Abstract: An extruder has a barrel extending from a feed inlet end to an extruder outlet end. The barrel has an inner surface, an outer surface, and a wall thickness between the inner and outer surfaces. The extruder also has at least one heating member positioned provided on the barrel; a screw drive motor drivingly connected to a rotatably mounted screw positioned within the barrel, whereby the screw is rotatable at various revolutions per minute (RPM); and a controller is operably connected to the screw drive motor to adjust the RPM of the screw based upon a temperature of material passing through and/or being extruded from the barrel. Methods for operating an extruder filling a mold are also provided.

Abstract: A hand vacuum cleaner has two nested cyclonic stages. Various designs for the dirt collection chamber of the second cyclonic stage and the design of multiple second stage cyclone inlets, which may use directing members, are provided. A length of the second stage cyclone chamber may be shorter than a length of the first stage cyclone chamber. A screen may be positioned laterally outwardly from the second stage cyclone to define a passage positioned between an inner side of the screen and the outer wall of the second stage cyclone wherein the screen may extend axially at least about 70% of a length of the second stage cyclone chamber. Different designs for emptying first and second stage dirt collect ion chambers are also provided.

Abstract: An HVAC system that utilizes an air-to-air heat exchanger includes an HVAC ductwork section including a fan, and a filter assembly in fluid flow communication with the HVAC ductwork section. The filter assembly has a filter compartment having an opening oriented generally transverse to a direction of air flow through the filter assembly. A compressive member is provided on at least a portion of a perimeter extending around the opening. The compressive member is adjustable between an installation configuration in which the compressive member is spaced from a position that is to be occupied by a filter when the filter is installed in the filter compartment and an installed configuration in which the compressive member engages at least a portion of one of an upstream and a downstream face of the filter when the filter is positioned in the filter compartment.
