An air ventilation or supply system includes a blower for generating a primary flow and an induction nozzle for inducing a secondary flow produced by entrainment of the primary flow. An inlet of the blower and an inlet for the induction nozzle are adjacent each other.

A solid state relay comprises a light-emitting diode (2) for generating radiation in response to forward current supplied thereto and an array (5) of photodiodes optically coupled to the light-emitting diode for generating a voltage in response to radiation from the light-emitting diode. A thyristor (18) is provided having anode and cathode coupled to the gate and substrate electrodes (11a, 11b, 14a, 14b) of a field-effect transistor, respectively. A gate electrode (21) of the thyristor is connected to one end (7) of the photodiode array (5) and the cathode of the thyristor is further connected to the other end (8 ) of the photodiode array. The voltage generated by the photodiode array is applied to the switching transistor (9, 10) through a diode (17) so that the impedance between the source and drain electrodes of the transistor has a low value in the presence of the voltage and a high value in the absence of the voltage. A voltage photogerated by the array in response to radiation from the light-emitting diode forwardly biases the diode (7) and backwardly biases the thyristor, so that it is applied to the transistor without loss of energy. Upon cessation of the radiation, a voltage difference between the photodiode array and the transistor backwardly biases the diode (7) and forwardly biases the thyristor, providing a low impedance path for rapidly discharging energy stored in the transistor to cause it to turn off.

A process is disclosed for producing spherical particles or fibers with a specially fixed size from a melt of metal, slag, or flux, by introducing the melt onto the center of a rotating disk through a conduit so as to form a thin film stream of boundary layer on the disk; projecting the thin film stream at a high speed from the disk periphery into surrounding space to split up the film stream into linear streams; and cooling the linear streams for producing fibers or cooling droplets after further splitting of the each linear stream into droplets for producing spherical particles, with or without parallel or countercurrent gas flow to the linear streams.
