Abstract: An aerosol-generating device includes a vapor generation unit adapted to transform an aerosol forming material into vapor, and a vapor channel extending from the vapor generation unit to a vapor outlet of the aerosol-generating device. The vapor generation unit includes a micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS). The vapor channel is provided with a movable cover having a closed position in which it closes the vapor channel and an open position. The cover is adapted to move from the closed position to the open position under the effect of a suction applied on the aerosol-generating device by the user to vape. The cover has a lower face provided with a layer of an absorbent material adapted to imbibe the aerosol forming material. This protects the vaporisation device from any foreign particles and avoids liquid leakage.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a controllable irrigation and environment monitoring system, devices, and applications, are described. The irrigation system may use a valve on each spray head which may allow each spray head of the irrigation system to be independently controlled. The spray radius and the water flow of each of the spray heads may be individually adjusted. The irrigation system may include sensors which provide feedback and the system may individually adjust each of the spray heads of the irrigation system and may adjust the watering schedule, water flow, and spray radius based on the sensor feedback. The irrigation system may be automated and self-managed and may adjust watering schedules according to an algorithm. The algorithm may use data collected by the system and also may use user-defined parameters such as local watering restrictions.

Abstract: A display device configured to receive raw values, calculate smoothed values, and display the smoothed values only if the smoothed values satisfy a consistency check. In some embodiments, the consistency check may be satisfied if none of the smoothed values (i) corresponds to a raw value that triggered a first or second alarm and (ii) would not also trigger the first or second alarm. In some embodiments, if the smoothed values do not satisfy the consistency check, the display device may re-calculate the smoothed values such that the consistency check is satisfied. The display device may display the smoothed values in place of corresponding raw values in a historical trend graph.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device includes a vapor generation unit and a reservoir configured to store an aerosolizable material. The aerosol-generation device further includes a printed circuit board and a heater fastened to the printed circuit board, the printed circuit board being disposed such that the aerosolizable material is in contact with the printed circuit board after it derives from the reservoir and before it arrives to the vapor generation unit.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device includes a vapor generation unit, at least one reservoir configured to store an aerosol forming material, and a filter disposed so as to remove particles from the aerosol forming material passing from the at least one reservoir to the vapor generation unit, the vapor generation unit including a micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS). The aerosol-generating device is configured to heat the filter so as to heat the aerosol forming material passing through it.

Abstract: An automated voting platform can allow a user to register to vote, view information about candidates, and submit votes in an election using his or her own personal computing device. To minimize the likelihood of voter fraud, the automated voting platform can implement an authentication process that requires the user to submit biometric or other identification information prior to being enabled to access the user's account with the automated voting platform. This authentication process can also require the user to repeatedly submit biometric information thereby ensuring that the same user continues to use the computing device while accessing the user's account.

Abstract: Methods and systems for selecting and presenting web resources (e.g. videos) are provided, the method includes: transmitting a first video to be played by a device associated with a user account; and during playback of the first video at the device: detecting an update to configuration data associated with the user account; determining, based on the update to the configuration data associated with the user account, a next video recommendation for the user account; and causing an indication of the next video recommendation to be displayed on the device.

Abstract: A material handling cart is provided, having a frame with wheels and engaging members for supporting a part carried by the cart. Each engaging member has an engaging surface including a material for protecting a corresponding surface of the part from damage. Upper supports are attached to the frame and extend upward to a distal end, and have a height equal to or greater than a height of the part when the part is carried by the cart. Each upper support has an upper stacking coupler at its distal end. Lower stacking couplers are attached to the bottom of the frame. The lower stacking couplers engage upper stacking couplers of a second identical cart, to stack the cart above the second cart. The upper stacking couplers engage lower stacking couplers of a third identical cart, to stack the third material handling cart above the cart.

Abstract: Methods and systems for obtaining address data, generating improved deliverable addresses, and generating an improved database of address information. Address data input to a graphical user interface (GUI) may be used to identify a location represented by an address entry in an address database. If the address entry is associated with supplemental address information, the GUI is modified to include a supplemental address information field to obtain additional address data, which is then combined with the address data to produce a complete deliverable address output. A history of delivery notifications, whether failures or successes, together with address data used in attempting the deliveries may be stored and used in determining whether to associate a location with supplemental address information, and to identify type or class of supplemental address information to associate with the location.

Abstract: A material handling cart is provided having a frame with engaging members for supporting a part carried by the cart. Each engaging member has an adjustable engaging surface that may include a material for protecting a corresponding surface of the part from damage. A plurality of wheels are each attached to the lower surface of the frame. A plurality of upper supports are attached to and extend upward from the frame, and lower stacking members are attached to and extend downward from the frame. Each upper support is configured for stacking engagement with a lower stacking member of a second material handling cart identical to the cart, to stack the second cart above the cart; and each lower stacking member is configured for stacking engagement with an upper support of a third material handling cart identical to the cart, to stack the cart above the third material handling cart.

First and second sheet-metal dividers respectively extend between a first and second pair of the opposed vertical outer walls, and have a tab at each opposing end extending toward one of the walls of the first and second pairs of walls. Each of the walls of the first pair of walls has openings for accepting one of the tabs for positioning the first dividers relative to the respective wall; and each of the walls of the second pair of walls has openings for accepting one of the tabs for positioning the second dividers relative to the respective wall. Each of the tabs is rigidly joined to the respective opening to retain the first and second dividers between the first and second pairs of outer walls.
