Abstract: An electronic cigarette includes a main body and a microwave heating module disposed in the main body. The microwave heating module includes a shielding sleeve, a strip of cotton, and a microwave source. The strip of cotton is disposed in the shielding sleeve. The shielding sleeve is disposed above the microwave source. In a power-on state, the microwave source emits microwave. The microwave is released into the shielding sleeve to heat and atomize e-liquid adsorbed on the strip of cotton to produce vapor for user's inhaling.

Abstract: An atomizer, including an e-liquid injection and vapor discharging module. The e-liquid injection and vapor discharging module includes an outer tube and an inner tube disposed in the outer tube. The inner tube is fixed in the outer tube through the protrusions. The inner tube is configured to accommodate e-liquid, and a cavity formed between the outer tube and the inner tube is configured to guide air and discharge vapor.

Abstract: To improve texture, mouthfeel, and/or to prevent or delay protein matrix hardening, meat-replacement food products are manufactured with a high moisture protein texturization method using i) at least one proteinaceous matrix forming ingredient, such as protein isolate or protein concentrate, ii) starch-containing grains that are selected from: ii.a) steeped grains, ii.b) germinated grains, ii.c) malted grains, ii.d) sprouted grains, or ii.e) any combination of two, three or four of these as one of the ingredients, and iii) water or water-containing liquid in the extruder under conditions causing the continuous proteinaceous fibrous matrix structure to contain disruptions, the extrudate including starch located in the disruptions and not emulsified with the proteinaceous fibrous matrix structure.

Abstract: An electronic cigarette includes a main body, a control assembly, at least two clearomizers, and a sliding member. The at least two clearomizers and the sliding member are disposed on the main body. The sliding member is slidable on the main body to drive the control assembly to control the operation of the at least two clearomizers.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatus and methods for a power electronics assembly that includes a cold plate assembly and one or more power device assemblies. The cold plate assembly has a manifold having a heat sink cavity in a first surface and a heat sink that includes one or more substrate cavities. The heat sink is positioned in the heat sink cavity. The one or more power device assemblies are positioned within the one or more substrate cavities. Each power device assembly includes an S-cell, a power device, and a direct bonded metal substrate bonded to the S-Cell. The S-cell includes a base layer constructed at least of graphite or a graphite-composite, a conductive layer at least partially surrounding the base layer, and a power device cavity. The power device is positioned in the power device cavity and is electrically coupled to the conductive layer.

Abstract: A bicycle carrier contains: a fixing device, a rotation device, a control device, and a holder. The fixing device includes a connection rod and a positioning seat. The positioning seat has a longitudinal receiving orifice and a lateral receiving orifice. The rotation device includes a casing, a grip, and a grasp space. The control device includes an actuation post, a pull lever, a spring, and an insertion portion. The pull lever has a joining portion and an extension. When the extension is pulled by an external force, the insertion portion removes from the longitudinal receiving orifice and the lateral receiving orifice so that the rotation device is forced to rotate between a horizontal fixing position and a horizontal fixing position reciprocately. When the external force to the extension disappears, the rotation device is located on the vertical fixing position, and the insertion portion is received in the vertical receiving orifice.

Abstract: A surgical robotic system including a surgical table, a surgical robotic manipulator coupled to the surgical table and comprising a plurality of links coupled together by a plurality of joints that are operable to move with respect to one another to move the surgical robotic manipulator, at least one of the plurality of links or the plurality of joints having a portion that faces another of the plurality of links or the plurality of joints, a proximity sensing assembly coupled to the portion of the at least one of the plurality of links or the plurality of joints, the proximity sensing assembly operable to detect an object prior to the surgical robotic manipulator colliding with the object and to output a corresponding detection signal, and a processor operable to receive the corresponding detecting signal and cause the manipulator or the object to engage in a collision avoidance operation.

Abstract: Method and system for determining real time analyte concentration including an analyte sensor having a portion in fluid contact with an interstitial fluid under a skin layer, an on-body electronics including a housing coupled to the analyte sensor and configured for positioning on the skin layer, the on-body electronics housing including a plurality of electrical contacts , on the housing; and a data analysis unit having a data analysis unit housing and a plurality of probes , on the housing. Each of the probes configured to electrically couple to a respective electrical contact when the data analysis unit is positioned in physical contact with the on-body electronics. The one or more signals on the probes correspond to one or more of a substantially real time monitored analyte concentration level (MACL), MACL over a predetermined time period, or a rate of change of the MACL, or combinations thereof, are provided.
