Patent ID: 8449356

Claim:
A fluid discharge apparatus comprising: a first structure defining a first duct therein, the first structure further defining a first set of conduits, the first set of conduits extends from the first duct and terminates at a first set of openings, wherein each of the first set of conduits provides an adjustable focus beam of discharge; and a second structure defining a second duct therein, the second structure further defining a second set of conduits, the second set of conduits extends from the second duct and terminates at a second set of openings, wherein each of the second set of conduits provides an adjustable focus beam of discharge, each of the first set of conduits and the second set of conduits being shaped and dimensioned for generating a nozzle-type flow therethrough, the first structure being spatially displaced from the second structure for receiving a cutting blade therebetween, the cutting blade for cutting a work-piece, wherein the first duct is for receiving fluid thereinto and for directing the fluid to the first set of conduits for discharge through the first set of openings and the second duct is for receiving fluid thereinto and for directing the fluid to the second set of conduits for discharge through the second set of openings, the fluid is directed by the first set of conduits and the second set of conduits towards at least one of a portion of the work-piece and two directly outwardly opposing surface portions of the cutting blade, wherein direction of discharge of the fluid from the first set of conduits and second set of conduits is determined by position and orientation of each of the first set of conduits and the second set of conduits, the position and orientation of the first set of conduits with reference to the position and orientation of the second set of conduits is determined during forming of the first set of conduits and the second set of conduits in the first structure and the second structure.
