Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving air into a device that includes an actuator for generating one or more toroidal vortices and determining whether to generate a toroidal vortex for conditioning air in an environment of the device or whether to generate a toroidal vortex for a non-temperature-related functionality. The method further includes generating, based on the determination and by the actuator, one or more toroidal vortices and transmitting, by the device, the one or more toroidal vortices into the environment.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an actuator coupled to an end effector, the actuator configured to create relative rotation between the actuator and the end effector. The apparatus further includes one or more peristaltic-pump rollers coupled to the actuator. The end effector includes a liquid-storage chamber configured to store a liquid and a flexible tubing that includes: (1) an intake disposed within the liquid-storage chamber, (2) an outlet configured to dispense the liquid onto an outer surface of the end effector, and (3) a peristaltic section configured to compress against at least one of the one or more peristaltic-pump rollers as a result of the relative rotation between the actuator and the end effector.
