Abstract:
An air distribution apparatus that serves as a single sensing device for both lighting, LiFi, and HVAC functions that are operable on a single platform by building automation systems. The building automation system may be controllable by a single software system or network accessible locally on site or remotely off site. The air distribution apparatus can operate in a single zone or coupled with multiple like apparatuses for multi-zone operation. It is a high turndown, self-balancing system which allows for continuous commissioning with built-in fault diagnostic systems and that may be used as a supply, return, or exhaust system, or a combination thereof. The air distribution apparatus includes multi-stage airflow control systems that operate progressively based on unique actuation mechanisms and/or algorithms that allow for precise flow control and feedback to self-balance and commission the system.

Claim (Index 22):
The fluid flow control apparatus of  claim 21 , wherein:\n A. the linkage assembly includes:\n i. a linear cam race assembly including a cam race plate defining a first cam race and a second cam race disposed thereon; \n ii. a first linkage including a first cam follower disposed in the first cam race, wherein the first linkage is operatively connected between the end effector and the low flow blade set and adapted for activation by the first cam follower in the first cam race wherein the first cam race controls pivotal motion of the low flow blade set during the linear motion of the end effector along an actuator axis; \n iii. a second linkage including a second cam follower disposed in the second cam race, wherein the second linkage is operatively connected between the end effector and the high flow blade set and adapted for activation by the second cam follower in the second cam race wherein the second cam race controls pivotal motion of the high flow blade set during the linear motion of the end effector along an actuator axis; and \n B. the actuator assembly includes:\n an actuator coupled to the linkage and having an end effector adapted to selectively effect linear motion of the end effector along an actuator axis
