  • Publication number: 20230404171
    Abstract: A vaping device system includes a first tray for holding vaping device bodies, the first tray having a plurality of voids, the voids holding a portion of a vaping device body to be filled with a substance. The first tray and the vaping device bodies are covered. A second tray for holding vaping device mouthpieces has a plurality of voids allowing the vaping device mouthpieces to be vertically aligned with the corresponding vaping device bodies of the first tray, each of the voids holding a portion of a vaping device mouthpiece to cap a corresponding vaping device body. The first tray is capable of being placed over a jig having a plurality of jig voids corresponding to the voids for holding the vaping device bodies.

  • Publication number: 20230142022
    Abstract: A vaping system may include a tank with a reservoir for holding a liquid to be vaporized, the tank having a proximal end for connection to a mouthpiece and a distal end for connection to a cartridge base. The cartridge base may include an external wall extending upwardly and forming a slot in the cartridge base between the external wall and the internal wall, the slot for receiving at least a portion of the distal end of the tank. This design may eliminate the need for exterior support rings around the tank. An external ridge and/or internal flange may also be provided to support the tank during capping and filling.

  • Patent number: 10808772
    Abstract: A hydraulic clutch system that enables automatic emergency braking (AEB) and remote start of a manual transmission vehicle. The hydraulic clutch system includes a piston-operated hydraulic cylinder or other accumulator to store a charge of hydraulic fluid that can be selectively routed to the clutch and discharged under electronic control to thereby disengage the clutch independently of any operator input via the clutch pedal. By doing so, the system can provide an improved AEB response that slows or stops the vehicle without stalling the engine. The system may also be used to provide remote start capability to the vehicle by automatically disengaging the clutch as part of a remote start sequence of operations.
