Abstract: A system is disclosed comprising a smartphone 2 and an aerosol generation device, such as an electronic cigarette. The smartphone 2 is configured to establish a communicative interaction with the electronic cigarette 4, preferably using a wireless protocol like Bluetooth® so that the devices can exchange data. The smartphone 2 comprises a positioning module, such as a GPS receiver 26, and is adapted to store a position in a data storage unit 28 each time a communicative interaction is established. In this way, the user can retrieve the last stored position from the data storage unit 28 and display it on a map on the smartphone display screen 22 so that they can be assisted in locating the electronic cigarette 4.

Abstract: A system includes a smartphone and an electronic cigarette. The smartphone includes a GPS receiver that can determine a position. The smartphone can communicate over a network with a retailer information server that stores information regarding retailers of aerosol generating consumables, including at least a position of the retailers. The smartphone is configured to determine a plurality of distances between the position associated with the smartphone and the respective positions of the retailers. The smartphone can display a map including an indicator for the user's position and icons corresponding to the position of relevant retailers. This can assist a user of the smartphone in locating retailers of aerosol generating consumables.

Abstract: A sectorized turbomachine compressor guide vanes assembly includes assembled sectors forming two concentric shell rings, one outer and one inner, between which vanes are arranged with their leading and trailing edges near transverse faces of the shell rings, and of which an outer shell ring externally includes an attachment mechanism to an external casing that houses the sectors. The attachment mechanism is axially offset from the rear transverse face of the shell ring to be located, in projection, in alignment with the vanes between the leading and trailing edges thereof.

Abstract: A self-stiffened panel of preimpregnated composite. The panel is of a type including a base skin on one side of which are added and placed side-by-side U-shaped stiffeners of which the parts connecting the branches of the U are flattened against the skin, with an interfacing structure between the adjoining branches of two adjacent stiffeners The interfacing structure is a nail having a nail-head comprised of a cord of filling resin. The nail is formed from a band with a rectangular cross-section whose edge, on the skin side, is directly in contact with the adjoining surface of the skin. The nail-head is comprised of two half-nail-heads placed symmetrically in the angle formed between the skin and the nail.

Abstract: Disclosed are pumpable surfactant compositions of alkanolamine salts of alkyl phosphate esters. The compositions have a solids content of about 60% by weight or more. Alkanolamines useful in preparation of the alkyl phosphate ester salts of the compositions of the present invention have the following formula III: wherein R4 to R6 are, individually, hydrogen or C1-8, linear or branched alkyl, alkenyl, alkaryl or aralkyl hydrocarbon moieties, which optionally may contain carbocyclic rings. At least one of the amine substituents is different from the other two. For at least one of the three substituents on the amine nitrogen, the sum of s and t (s+t) or v and w (v+w) or x and y (x+y) is equal to or greater than 1 and the corresponding R (R4, R5 or R6) is hydrogen. The subscripts p and q, individually, may be the same or different and are integers from 2 to 4.

Abstract: Stable, pumpable aqueous surfactant compositions of water and alkyl phosphate ester salts having a molar ratio of mono- to di- alkyl phosphate esters equal to or greater than 80:20, with the surfactant composition being essentially free of water-soluble alcohol or co-solvent. The pumpable aqueous surfactant compositions have a solids content of about 40% by weight or more and exhibit one or more pumpable regions over a range of pH values for the aqueous surfactant composition.

Abstract: Process for making computer-aided drawings for applications such as computer-aided engineering (CAE) and computer-aided design (CAD). A drawing is made in the form of a planar map in all steps of its implementation, and the process proceeds iteratively with insertion, erasure, or coloring operations as the drawing is made.
