Playing an important role providing infrastructure for IOT.
They are not working on the next new thing.
nice momentum stock in a favorable industry..IoT
Good growth at a reasonable price
AS recommendation.
still has a ways to go while doing well
IoT growth market; Growing both earnings and rev (over 50%) (see Saul's board) and low P/E (under 30); Increasing margins; good glassdoor ratings and apparent leadership
Semi-conductors are market leaders. Skyworks Solutions has taking a beating over the last month. Although, always provides strong revenue growth and beats wall st estimates time and time again.
check out today's press release on how they did this last quarter and how they expect to do for the rest of the year. Look where they have come from over the last year plus. Enough said.
A leader within semi-conductor industry with a strong market share, clients like Samsung and Apple, expansion of its products in to huge markets (ie: china) and being at the forefront of the internet of things; I cannot see how this company wont double or more within the next 5 years.
I bought this stock well over a year ago and sold part of it when it hit 55 But now I wish I would have kept all of it. I think the sky is the limit for swks at least a few more years.
With the government push for alternative energy, Skyworks will easily beat the market.
A Grand Adventure Dividend Holding:
I've looked over this stock at least 10 times and I still cannot find a reason not to buy. The stock is modestly priced in an industry that will prosper as the economy nears the high part of its cycle, and its P/E is only barely above 30. It has a steady revenue stream in its partnership with Apple for iPhone circuitry, with the company averaging about 20% revenue growth over the last 5 years, and with 20 cents on the dollar as pure profit, it's not hard to see why. EPS growth in the last year is at 65%, its forward PEG is <1, and did I mention that this company has no long-term debt? The .7% dividend us just the cherry on top of this incredibly valuable growth stock. Snatch it up while you can.
I want to know what you think about this stock?
Outperforms the S&P 500 index. One of the best ways to play smartphone growth.
The leader in chips for the Internet of Things.

The FOX-Cablevision battle gets weird
Oct 29, 2010, 11:03 AM EDT
Anyone else find this truly bizarre? Cablevision, still unable to broadcast the World Series to 3 million customers in New York and Philly, is formally asking the government and non-profit agencies to re-transmit FOX's telecast of the World Series on the Internet, more or less on the theory that doing so is a public service…
Before we go too far in slamming Ron Washington's bullpen management . . .
Oct 29, 2010, 10:30 AM EDT
. . . We should probably remember that the Rangers got shut out last night. It's something that, in a rush to make clever jokes about Neftali Feliz's whereabouts, I sort of forgot this morning. Yes, you'd hope that a pennant winning manager would make better decisions when down 2-0 in the eighth inning on…
Baseball will have Bieber Fever on Saturday. And it will be Good.
Oct 29, 2010, 9:58 AM EDT
When I saw that FOX is going to debut Justin Bieber's new video prior to Game 3 tomorrow, my first impulse was to scoff, as people of a certain age and disposition always scoff at whatever teen sensation is out conquering the world at any given moment. But my second thought is to appreciate the…
Why David Ortiz wants two years. And why he's wrong about that.
Oct 29, 2010, 9:31 AM EDT
David Ortiz gave an interview with WEEI, and the big topic, not surprisingly, was his future in Boston. He has a one-year, $12.5 million option. Despite the fact that's well above the market rate for aging DH's these days, he wants a two year deal. Why two years? Here's why, according to Big Papi: "I'm…
So, what are the Rangers up against?
Oct 29, 2010, 9:06 AM EDT
On the one hand I want to be at least somewhat optimistic about the Rangers chances. I mean, there's no way that Ron Washington can screw up the bullpen so badly a second time in one series, right? There's no way that a formidable Rangers lineup will remain so utterly impotent, right? There's no way…
Poor Jose Guillen
Oct 29, 2010, 8:48 AM EDT
Jose Guillen is in a lot of trouble. Still, I can't help feeling a bit sorry for the guy.
The Marlins were considering trading Mike Stanton for . . . Ozzie Guillen?!
Oct 29, 2010, 8:24 AM EDT
That's the report from Chris De Luca of the Chicago Sun Times, who says that Marlins owner Jeff Loria — who is apparently obsessed with having Ozzie Guillen as his manager — was willing to trade phenom Mike Stanton to the Sox in exchange for Kenny Williams letting Guillen out of his contract. At least…
And That Happened: World Series Edition
Oct 29, 2010, 5:55 AM EDT
Giants 9, Rangers 0: Aaron has the gory details of the bottom of the eighth inning here, and covers just about everything important about this game. I'll simply add that watching Ron Washington manage the Rangers' bullpen in the postseason has been like watching Richie Tennebaum against Gandhi at the U.S. Nationals tournament. All I…

Gammons: The Red Sox are going to "go hard" after Carl Crawford

Peter Gammons was on WEEI today and said that he thinks the Red Sox are going to be all over Carl Crawford this winter: "There is no doubt in my mind that they are going to go really hard after Carl Crawford. That will be a matchup with the Angels, and you know there are…
The Mets will not be interviewing John Gibbons for the manager's job
Oct 28, 2010, 3:58 PM EDT
Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com reported earlier today that the Mets have not yet really gotten into filling their managerial vacancy yet. Which makes sense, because they haven't formally announced their new GM yet, and you have to assume Sandy Alderson will drive that train. Rubin nonetheless listed a handful of "logical candidates" for the job,…
How are the Reds going to use Aroldis Chapman next year?
Oct 28, 2010, 3:00 PM EDT
Dusty Baker has one answer: "I see him personally probably being somewhere in the back end of the bullpen. Because it's hard to find a guy that can get righties and lefties out equally and that gas he has and you haven't even seen his breaking ball and his changeup yet so his potential is…
Wait — did 2009 actually happen?
Oct 28, 2010, 2:33 PM EDT
I'm sorry to be fixated on Yankees stuff this afternoon, but apparently watching two teams that aren't the Yankees play in the World Series is driving the New York writers crazy. Lupica's column today is about how, for all the money the Yankees have spent in the past decade, they only have the one World…
Bob Klapisch gets three more years in which to bury Joe Girardi
Oct 28, 2010, 2:02 PM EDT
So Joe Girardi's contract seems to be in order. Three more years, around $9 million dollars. Keep things running as-is, the Yankees are saying. Is everyone happy? Nah, Bob Klapisch isn't: Girardi gets three more years to wean himself off managing-by-numbers. Good luck. Not that ripping Girardi for actually playing the percentages is anything new…
"Nobody sits in Vlad's seat"
Oct 28, 2010, 1:29 PM EDT
Interesting insight from Buster Olney on Vlad Guerrero today: Vladimir Guerrero is more than just the Rangers' cleanup hitter. He is a centerpiece of respect and dignity and consistency, the wise old man of the group. He sits in the same seat on the team's bus everyday, and if you happen to sit in his…
Breaking: someone was smokin' weed in San Francisco last night
Oct 28, 2010, 12:58 PM EDT
"People hanging around in San Francisco smoking weed" is the ultimate dog-bites-man story, but it was apparently pretty shocking for one newsman from Dallas reporting from the game last night. But don't laugh too hard, Northern Californians. I got even money on a San Francisco reporter going crazy outside of the Ballpark at Arlington when…
Please, can we put an end to the "nobody believes in us!" nonsense?

Of all the posts post-Game 1, I see a bunch of "How could the Rangers lose?", and "What happened to Cliff Lee?" posts and stories. Even the MSM is…
O'Connor: Sandy Alderson needs to apologize for steroids
Oct 28, 2010, 12:01 PM EDT
ESPN New York's Ian O'Connor thinks Sandy Alderson may be a great GM choice for the Mets, but he thinks he needs to atone for past sins before taking the job: But when he steps to the microphone as Omar Minaya's replacement, Alderson should take the time of offer an apology. He should say he's…
HBT Daily: I suppose we'll talk about the World Series
Oct 28, 2010, 11:31 AM EDT

McCovey Cove was . . . crowded
Oct 28, 2010, 11:01 AM EDT
My favorite pic from last night's game that did not involve Vlad Guerrero stumbling around like my Uncle Harry.
Sandy Alderson is getting the old band back together
Oct 28, 2010, 10:35 AM EDT
Joel Sherman reports that that new Mets GM Sandy Alderson wants to bring Paul DePodesta and J.P. Ricciardi on board. Both of these guys, you'll recall, worked under Alderson in Oakland before going off on their own GM frolics. Depodesta's was, in hindsight anyway, pretty successful with the Dodgers, even if they still don't realize…

Demand overall still big. That's a piece, not…
What's your favorite World Series memory?
Oct 28, 2010, 9:31 AM EDT
After that abomination of a game last night I needed something to cleanse the palate. Here's something, from Baseball Prospectus: Every baseball fan has a special World Series memory, whether it's Willie Mays' catch, Bill Mazeroski's home run, Brooks Robinson's defense, Kirk Gibson's limp around the bases, or Derek Jeter becoming the first-ever Mr. November.…
So what happened to Cliff Lee?
Oct 28, 2010, 9:03 AM EDT
I know the NFL likes to play up that "any given Sunday" crap, but baseball is really the sport where anything can happen. To wit: Cliff Lee getting torched by a team that wasn't supposed to have any offense. A team that was supposed to be so dominated by Lee that people actually suggested saving…

Tiny Fruitcake Gems
Friday, December 17, 2010
In America, fruitcake is so closely associated with Christmas that it almost becomes a necessary part of the celebration, even for those who don't like it! Here is a moist, flavorful, miniature version, which features more cake than candied fruit, that everyone loves. These gems keep for months, becoming ever more mellow, but they are also scrumptious right after baking. Get a head start on your holiday baking by making these in the fall. They are great for Thanksgiving feasts as well as Christmas and ship beautifully to loved ones who can't be home for the holidays.
Ginger Pennies
Thursday, December 16, 2010
My first Christmas present and my first cookbook as a new bride was, at my request, The Joy of Cooking. It was from that book that I made my first cake (spice cake), my first bread (white bread), and my first pie (angel pie). Each was a great success; the book was everything its title promised. To this day, my favorite cookie recipe from Joy is for ginger thins, which inspired this recipe. These lovable little wafers are truly pennies from heaven: incredibly delicate, crispy, gingery, and addictive. Don't be tempted to make them too large as they will lose their unique daintiness.

It was my fondest hope that people would use my recipes to create their own specialties in this way, and I am delighted to report that the silky-rich chocolate ganache, rolled together with chewy pistachio marzipan, is a combination that tastes every bit as good as it looks. Thank you, Lora. These candies are terrific to have on hand to serve with espresso to friends who drop in with holiday gifts and wishes.

Whether you are on the lookout for beds, dressers, armoire or any other bedroom furniture, it is important to first ask yourself the questions that will be mentioned below. These questions will help you to determine what you want and will make it more likely that you will end up with a decision you will never regret. Remember, your bedroom is a space where you can relax and recharge, which makes it important to consider it as an investment.
Where Will I Buy?
There are many sellers of beds and mattresses in the market, but not all of them can prove to be the same in terms of the quality of their products and services. For you to be able to decide on where specifically to shop, it will be good to ask for recommendations from people you personally know or read reviews online. Through this, it will be easier to weigh the pros and cons of each store. If possible, visit the actual store to see the products they are offering. While online shopping is convenient, one of its most significant drawback is that you cannot see the actual product and hence, you cannot have an exact picture of how it will look like in your room.
How Much Space Is Available?
This is one of the most ignored questions by people who are buying bedroom furniture. More often than not, there are a lot of things they would like to put in the bedroom, and they end up having a cramped space. To be sure, measure the exact dimensions of the room and choose furniture that will fit in its size. Leave an ample amount of space so that you will be able to move easily when inside the room. Look for multifunctional designs so that one you do not have to use more furniture than necessary.
What Style Is Best Suited For The Room?
Even if you are not a professional in the field of interior design, you can still make your room stylish. When it comes to beds, choose one that will match the theme of the room or all other furniture that you have. In relation to design, you should also consider the colours and materials as such will have an impact on the ambiance of the room.
How Much Is My Budget?
Even if you want to have luxurious bedroom furniture, this may not always be possible because of financial constraints. Therefore, before you start shopping, make sure to have a dedicated budget and work as hard as possible to not go overboard. Do not settle with the cheapest option you will find, especially when it comes to mattresses. Always pay attention to quality as it will have an effect on how well you can sleep at night.

Shiv Sena has urged all Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members from Maharashtra to deliver speeches and ask questions in parliament in Marathi on February 27, Marathi Bhasha Din.
Every year, Marathi Language Day is celebrated on the birth anniversary of poet V V Shirwadkar alias Kusumagraj.
On the initiative of Rajya Sabha member Bharatkumar Raut, Sena has written to all 48 Lok Sabha members from the state to conduct business in Marathi on February 27. Apart from Sena, the members belong to Congress, NCP, BJP and other parties.
Raut has also written to the 25 Rajya Sabha members representing the state, including nominated ones, to display Marathi pride.
His one-page letter reads, "On February 27, all members of parliament representing Maharashtra should observe Marathi Bhasha Din. Even a symbolic gesture would be great."
Raut said: "As per norms, members can give 24 hours notice suggesting language preference. It is mandatory for the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha secretariats to make provision for translations in English or Hindu."
The Mumbai MP recalled how Sena chief the late Bal Thackeray would always greet people with a Jai Maharashtra.
Sena has also urged the state government to direct all its establishments to conduct administrative business in Marathi on the day.
However, officials in CMO said, "Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan ensures he is politically correct when it comes to state affairs. Administrative matters are processed in Marathi. But he cannot force bureaucrats to speak Marathi."
Sena has periodically raised the 'Me Marathi' plank to firm hold on sons of the soil. Now, it is also competing with MNS chief Raj Thackeray who is fiercely pushing the Marathi agenda.

Show all reviews
Signature pour Femme by S.T. Dupont
Very underrated and not a fragrance you necessarily fall in love with right away. On the first few wearings, I thought this a pretty ordinary fruity-floral with woody drydown - inoffensive and an item in my collection that I'd always consider reaching for but ultimately pass up in favor of something more interesting or pronounced. It wasn't until I tried out Vera Wang, which is very similar to this, that I begun to appreciate the unique qualities of Signature. Though it has many different floral notes in it, I think of it as a "yellow flower" fragrance, sunny and akin to a very fruity, rounded chardonnay. The things that keep it from being just about florals - the nutmeg and the rosewood particularly - do in fact make the composition interesting once you bother to notice them. Once I wear this scent for a few consecutive days, I always end up realizing, "Hey, I could wear this all the time and really enjoy it."

A slot diffuser includes a pair of elongate and parallel side walls spaced by pairs of bridges. The bridges include feet that slide along receivers in the side walls such that the bridges can be positioned at any location therealong and provide support to the bridges and stability to the diffuser. The bridges include slots that extend between the side rails and that receive ends of air flow control blades. The air flow control blades include an elongate planar portion supported by slot following pegs extending outwardly on either side of the planar portions to support the blades in the slots. The bridges include a spring mechanism to provide bias to the blades to prevent wedging and rattling. The bridges also include a top arcuate cover that reduces air drag and noise.
1. A slot diffuser for distributing air flow to a room comprising:
a) a pair of spaced frame side rails; a pair of spaced bridges joining said side rails; each of said bridges including a slot having associated therewith a rear wall; each of said bridges also including a spring member positioned within a respective slot; and
b) an air flow control blade mounted at opposite ends in respective slots of said bridges; said blade ends operably being biased away from said slot rear walls by said spring members, so as to allow said blade to slide in said slots due to pressure without wedging and so as to limit movement of said blade within said slot due to air movement.
2. The diffuser according to claim 1 wherein:
a) said blade is a first blade; and including
b) a second blade partially overlapping said first blade and slidably mounted at opposite ends in respective slots.
3. The diffuser according to claim 2 wherein:
a) said slots are sized and shaped such that said first and second blades are slidable between opposite ends of said bridges as a pair in order to control direction of air flow through said diffuser and said blades are slidably with respect to each other to produce different obstruction surfaces of different sizes within said diffuser so as to control volume of air through said diffuser.
4. The diffuser according to claim 3 wherein:
a) said blades are aligned generally perpendicular to incoming flow of air through said diffuser.
5. The diffuser according to claim 1 wherein:
a) each of said side rails includes an inner wall surface and a bottom inward extending flange having an air engaging top surface; each of said rail inner wall surfaces and said flange top surfaces cooperating with said blade to control direction of air flow from said diffuser.
6. The diffuser according to claim 1 wherein:
a) each of said spring members includes a mounting post extending between top and bottom walls of each associated slot and each of said posts are mounted near the rear wall of each respective slot.
7. The diffuser according to claim 6 wherein:
a) each said spring member includes an arcuate spring extending from a respective mounting post.
8. The diffuser according to claim 1 wherein:
a) each of said side rails including a pair of facing flanges forming an inwardly facing receiver; and
b) each of said bridges include feet on opposite ends thereof slidably positioned in respective side rail receivers; such that said bridges are supported by and slidable along said side rails.
9. The diffuser according to claim 1 wherein:
a) each of said bridge slots has a blade receiving lower wall operably supporting said blade.
10. The diffuser according to claim 1 wherein:
a) each of said bridge lower walls includes a semi-circular rest for operably spacing a portion of said blade from a remainder of said lower wall to reduce friction therebetween.
11. The diffuser according to claim 1 wherein:
a) said blade includes a generally planar portion with a rod near one side thereof extending the length of said blade; said rod being thicker in diameter than said planar portion and extending beyond said planar portion on each end so as to form pegs that are slidably received in respective slots.
12. The diffuser according to claim 11 wherein:
a) each of said blade planar portions are joined to a respective rod by a ramp portion that positions said planar portion outwardly as opposed to centrally with respect to a respective rod.
The present invention is directed to slot diffusers or air bars that control air flow from a ventilation plenum into a room and, in particular, to improvements in bridges which support air control blades within the diffusers.
Air diffusers are used in many different architectural environments for controlling the flow of air form heating and cooling ventilation systems into a room. Because of requirements associated with the geometry of a particular room and because of uneven heating or cooling requirements caused by sunlight or other heating or cooling loads in specific locations, it is often desirable to direct the air flow from the delivery plenum in a particular configuration to best suit the needs of the room.
In some instances it is best to have the air flow be a jet-type flow which comes straight out into the room. In other instances the air flow will be more diffuse and/or dampened. And in still other situations it may be desirable to direct air flow to one side or to the other side of the diffuser so that the air travels along a ceiling or wall adjacent to the diffuser.
Prior art diffusers have included various air flow controlling surfaces for distribution of the air exiting therefrom. For example, the Hungerford patent U.S. Pat. No. 5,001,967 illustrates a diffuser having air control blades that are adjustable by rotation within the diffuser and act in conjunction with body surfaces of the diffuser in an attempt to control the flow of the air from the diffuser.
Where distribution of air flow to the side is desired or where dampened air flow is desired, air flow is usually diverted in some manner within the diffuser so that it does not pass straight through the diffuser. In the present invention, a pair of air control blades work in cooperation with each other and with other surfaces of the diffuser to control air flow. The air flow control blades are positioned to be generally perpendicular to the air flow passing through the diffuser. The blades are supported by bridges within the diffuser and are preferably slidable along the bridges so that the blades can be moved relative to each other in order to control the amount of overlap of one blade over the other which in turn controls the flow of air through the diffuser. The blades are also movable with respect to the bridges and, in particular the blades can also be moved toward one side or the other of the diffuser to operably control the directional output of the air from the diffuser.
One problem encountered with movement of blades in this manner is that the blades tend to cock or turn slightly out of alignment with slots receiving the blades such that the blade either incurs sufficient drag to become very hard to move or becomes fully wedged and immobilized. It is also desirable to have a constant slight bias against the blades to hold them in position and to reduce the likelihood that the blades will rattle.
Consequently, it is desirable to provide a system for supporting the air control blades in such a manner as to prevent wedging of the blades so as to allow the blades to move smoothly and easily relative to the diffuser and each other, while also holding the blades in place and reducing rattling. In this manner a technician can properly adjust the blades during installation or to modify the position of the blades at a later time.
An air diffuser is provided that operates in conjunction with an air delivery plenum to supply heating and ventilation air to a room under directional and volume control of the diffuser. The diffuser includes a pair of slide rails joined by end plates in such a manner as to be operably mountable within a ceiling or a wall surface and to be flow joined with an air delivery plenum. The diffuser also includes at least one pair of bridges which are positioned opposed to each other and a set of air flow control blades which are mounted in and extend between the bridges. The bridges each include a slot for receiving an end of each blade such that the blades may move laterally from side to side within the slot and such that the blades are preferably in overlapping relationship with one another in at least some configurations of the diffuser.
The blades are generally parallel to one another and are slidable relative to each other, as well as the bridges so as to be selectively positionable within the diffuser. In this manner the blades may as a pair be positioned anywhere between being fully to one side of the diffuser or fully to the opposite side of the diffuser. Furthermore, the overlap of the blades may be varied to allow more or less spreading therebetween. That is, as the blades slide relative to each other to a more separated position, the space obstructed by the blades increases, thereby producing a greater obstruction to air, and in this way air flow is dampened. For increased flow the blades are positioned for greater overlap. Moving the blades from side to side changes the directional output of the air from the diffuser. Thus, the blade design allows for a wide variety of directional air flows, as well as volumes of air flow through the diffuser.
Each of the bridges includes a spring arm that is located within the slot that receives the blades and which engages both of the blades. The spring arm provides a constant bias to the blades that maintains the blades in spaced relationship with respect to a rear wall of each slot, so as to reduce the likelihood that a blade will become wedged against the wall. This allows free movement of the blades within the slot for purposes of adjustment. Furthermore, the spring arm provides a constant small amount of bias to each of the blades so as to prevent the blades from rattling within the diffuser as air passes the blades.
The bridges have feet at each end that are slidably mounted in receivers in the side rails to allow movement of the bridges along the side rails, but yet provide support to the bridges.
Each bridge also includes an arcuate cover that slopes from rear to front, preferably with a radius equal to the thickness of the bridge, so as to reduce air turbulence.
Therefore, the principle objects of the present invention are: to provide an air diffuser that has air control blades which are adjustable within the diffuser to modify both the directional flow of the air and the volume of the air exiting the diffuser; to provide such a diffuser wherein the blades are supported in an overlapping relationship by opposed bridges within the diffuser and wherein the blades slide relative to each other and to the bridges to allow a technician to position the blades for a desired air volume flow, as well as to adjust directional flow of the air before or after installation; to provide such a diffuser wherein the bridges are self supporting and are easily slidably mounted within side rails of the diffuser to provide support to the blades; to provide such a diffuser wherein the blades are easily removable after installation; to provide such a diffuser wherein the blades are mounted in slots in the bridges and the bridges include a spring arm located in the rear of each slot that continuously biases against the blades during use and prevents the blades from becoming cocked or wedged within the bridges and also which reduces vibration and noise associated with the blades as air passes past the blades; to provide such a diffuser that allows easy adjustment of the blades once the diffuser is fully installed, including removal of the blades, if necessary; to provide such a diffuser which includes comparatively few parts, is easy to assemble and highly stable in use; and to provide such a diffuser which is a relatively easy to manufacture, inexpensive to produce and especially well adapted for the intended usage thereof.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein are set forth, by way of illustration and example, certain embodiments of this invention.

As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure.
The reference in numeral 1 generally designates an air bar or slot air diffuser in accordance with the present invention. The diffuser 1 is shown in FIG. 1 just prior to final installation in a room 4. The room 4 has a ceiling 5 with an air distribution plenum 6 located above the ceiling 5 opening into a boot 7. The boot 7 has flanges 9 and 10 that mate with the diffuser 1 and a plurality of snaps or fasteners 11 which secure the diffuser 1 to the plenum 6 and, in particular, to the boot 7. In this manner air being distributed by the plenum 6 is supplied to the top or plenum facing side 12 of the diffuser 1. As used herein the terms top and bottom refer tot he diffuser 1 as seen in FIG. 3; however, it is foreseen that the diffuser 1 of the present invention may be used in a variety of orientations, such as in ceilings, walls or the like and the terms refer to direction within the diffuser 1 and not room direction.
The diffuser 1 includes a pair of side frame rails 16 and 17 joined at opposite ends by end plates 18. The diffuser 1 also includes two pairs of bridges 22 and two pairs of air pattern controller blades 23 (FIG. 6). In particular, the illustrated diffuser 1 has two sets of blades 23 which may be the same or different depending on the needed air distribution. It is foreseen that diffusers 1 may have only one set of blades 23 or multiple adjacent sets of blades, aligned end to end, as needed.
The frame rails 16 and 17 are generally elongate, and each have a sidewall 28 and a bottom flange 29 that extends outwardly from the lower or outer most edge of each side wall 28 in facing relationship to the flange 29 of the opposite side rail, but spaced so as to form a slot 31 therebetween. Each side wall 28 has an interior surface 33 (FIG. 3), such that the surfaces 33 of opposed side walls 28 face each other. Likewise each bottom flange 29 has an inward facing or interior surface 34 that is generally perpendicular to the flow of air through the diffuser 1.
The surfaces 33 and 34 cooperate with the blades 23 to control the directional flow of air through the diffuser 1. Each side wall 28 also includes upper and lower flanges 36 and 37 that cooperate to form a receiver 38 within which a respective side of each of the bridges 22 is received in such a manner as to allow the bridges 22 to be slidably positioned along the rails 16 and 17.
Each of the bridges 22 is sized and shaped to span between a pair of opposed side rails 16 and 17. Each of the bridges 22 has a pair of feet 41 and 42 (FIG. 2) that extend in opposite directions and are sized and shaped to be slidably received in the receivers 38. The bridges 22 are thus supported by the side rails 16 and 17, but are slidable in the receivers 38 during assembly and during certain modifications of the diffuser 1.
Each bridge 22 has a lower wall 44 and an upper wall 45 (FIGS. 7 and 8) that extend between the feet 41 and 42, are parallel to one another and are spaced by a rear wall 46. For each bridge 22 the lower wall 44, upper wall 45 and rear wall 46 form a blade receiving slot 48 (FIG. 8) that operably slidably receives the blades 23. The rear wall 46 has a central aperture 47 (FIG. 6) located therein. Each of the slot lower walls 44 include a pair of spaced rests 51 that are cylindrical in shape and protrude upwardly from the surface of the lower wall 44 to expose a semi-circular surface 49. The rests 51 are aligned parallel to the frame rails 16 and 17 and are spaced from each other. The rear wall aperture 47 includes a portion 53 that is located just laterally with respect to the rests 51.
Mounted in each of the slots 48 between the rests 51 is a spring arm or member 56. Each spring member 56 includes a mounting post 59 that extends between the lower wall 44 and upper wall 45 in close proximity to the rear wall 46 and a spring 60. Each spring 60 is elongate and curves so as to be arcuate and so as to be bowed outwardly from the rear wall 46. Each spring 60 is positioned to engage the blades 23 associated therewith, as will be discussed below.
Each bridge 22 has a cover 61 that includes a curved or arcuate top surface 62 that is rounded with a radius that is approximately equal to the thickness of the bridge 22 and that allows smooth transition with the slot upper wall 45 from a rear 72 to a front 73 thereof. The rounded feature of the surface 61 reduces drag of air across the bridge 22 and thus reduces noise created by air passing the associated bridge 22, as this air is less turbulent. Each of the blades 23 includes a generally planar and elongate portion 63 joined along an edge thereof to a rectangular shaped lip or rod 65 that is slightly larger than the planar portion 63 and at an opposite end to a ramp 67 and a second round rod 68 that is comparatively larger in diameter than the thickness of the planar portion 63.
The rod 68 is approximately the same size as the slot 48 so as to be received completely therein in such a manner as to allow the blades 23 to slide within the slots 48. The rods 68 are slightly longer than the remaining parts of each blade 28, including the planar portion 63, ramp 67 and rod 65. In this manner the rods 63 have pegs or posts 69 that are slot followers and are received further into the slot 48 then the remaining portions of the blade 23 including planar portion 63. As is seen in FIGS. 3 through 5, the planar portions 63 of the blades 23 have ends 70 that are supported on the rests 51 and abut against a respective spring 60.
In use the bridges 22 receive and support the blades 23 in such a manner as to apply a constant axial bias to maintain the blades 23 in proper position and reduce noise; however, the bias may be simply overcome by a technician to allow removal and replacement of the blades without total disassembly of the diffuser 1 or surrounding room structure.
It is to be understood that while certain forms of the present invention have been illustrated and described herein, it is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangement of parts described and shown.

Arizona Coyotes
'Yotes Notes: Phoenix wastes Mike Smith's effort, sees playoff chances dwindle
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a hockey game. So, we will give you 'Yotes Notes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Coyotes' 2-0 loss to the Canucks on April 8.
The Good:
Just two days after his fifth shutout of the season, Mike Smith was once again at his best Monday night. The Coyotes goaltender had an ax to grind with the Canucks, after getting pummeled by Alex Edler back on March 21, and boy did he ever make the most of his opportunity.
Smith stopped 40 of 41 shots, made several point-blank saves and even got physical with Alex Burrows on two separate occasions towards the latter stages of the second period.
Sadly, it wasn't enough.
The Bad:
For a team still sitting on the outside of the Western Conference playoff picture Monday night's loss hurts.
Not only did it snap a three-game win streak, but the Coyotes wasted a remarkable effort from their goaltender.
Dave Tippett's squad was slow to the puck, had trouble putting together a string of passes in the offensive zone, and more or less looked like a team not deserving of the No. 8 spot.
How bad was it?
A hooking call on Jason Garrison gave the Coyotes a power play and a chance to tie the game with 1:22 remaining. As was the case all night, though, Phoenix couldn't generate any good looks against Cory Schneider. They did however create one for the Canucks.
Antoine Vermette tried to clear the puck out to the blue line, but his pass missed Keith Yandle's stick and went all the way down to the other end of the ice and into the Coyotes' goal. Dan Hamhuis was credited with the short-handed tally, but in reality, Phoenix surrendered a rare own goal on a power play.
It was just that kind of night.
Cory Schneider's fifth shutout of the season tied Mike Smith for the league lead.
Ryan Kesler returned to Vancouver's lineup for the first time in six weeks. The Canucks forward scored the game-winning goal unassisted in the first period.
Despite the loss, the Coyotes remain in ninth place in the Western Conference. Phoenix is currently three points back of Detroit.
Up Next:
The Coyotes continue their road swing through Canada on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers. The puck is set to drop at 6:30 p.m. MST.

Your Hometown on Multiculturalism
Peter Roberts gasps in horror at what multiculturalism and the practice of importing massive hordes of welfare colonists have done to the homey suburb where he grew up:
When you see your homeland, which was what Greenacre was, turned into a minefield, or a battlefield, or a refuge of drug dealers, criminals, drive-by shooters and terror — you find yourself in a quandary. It's all part and parcel of the greater good, of the New Australia, of the emergence of alternative cultures — it's just a settling-in process.
Whatever the apologists say, it's traumatic to read about the new Greenacre where I had my roots. It's tragic to see things go so wrong.
The police are powerless. I've seen it first-hand. They are harassed and intimidated for simply doing their job. The Premier says we can have confidence in the police to apprehend the culprits of a recent murder in Wilbur Street. Even if they do, which is unlikely, as the local residents live in permanent fear of reprisals, can they stop the next shooting and the next?
Australia has some of the most repressive laws in the world regarding firearms ownership. As in Chicago, this results in deadly anarcho-tyranny.
Soon Greenacre/Lakemba will be an enclave of little Lebanon, with all the worst features transported from a failed country to a new one, one still proud of its tolerance. I am told time and again that tolerance is not weakness. A bit like saying appeasement is not weakness. But I'm growing more sceptical.
That was my home — the place where I simply couldn't imagine living anywhere else once — transformed to the place where I could never imagine living again.
Greenacre is a suburb of Sydney. It could just as easily be a suburb of London or Los Angeles.
Eventually the civilized will run out of places to retreat to. Then the whole world will be the Third World. Multiculturalism will have triumphed.
