Publication number: 20240114970Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: JT International SAInventors: Alec Wright, Andrew Robert John Rogan, Kyle Adair, Gordon Montgomery

Patent number: 11864480Abstract: A tillage implement has a frame connectable to a towing vehicle and at least two transverse rows of secondary tillage tools mounted on the frame, the at least two transverse rows comprising a row of main rollers mounted on the frame rearward of all other rows of the at least two transverse rows. The implement also has a transverse row of auxiliary rollers mounted rearward of the row of main rollers, the transverse row of auxiliary rollers independently pivotable vertically about a transverse pivot axis. The implement has at least one ground-engaging wheel. Independent pivoting of the row of auxiliary rollers allows an operator to increase tillage/field finish on the go or as needed.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: SALFORD GROUP INC.Inventors: Geof J. Gray, Jacobus A. Rozendaal, John Mark Averink, Ravikesh Ashok Khadtare, Christopher Michael Poppe, Frederick Kristoffer Gordon Wright, Magnus Claussen

Publication number: 20220408625Abstract: A tillage implement for variable tillage has a linkage mechanism disposed longitudinally between two gangs of annular harrow tools, the gangs each having a toolbar that is rotationally mounted on a frame of the implement. The linkage mechanism has a plurality of pivotally connected linkage arms, the toolbars each pivotally connected to at least one of the linkage arms. Operation of the linkage mechanism simultaneously rotates one toolbar about a first vertical rotation axis and the other toolbar about a second vertical rotation axis in an opposite rotational direction as the first toolbar. The implement has at least one wheel mounted on the frame longitudinally forward of both of the gangs or longitudinally rearward of both of the gangs. The tillage implement provides variable tillage while having a shorter frame to facilitate folding wing sections of the frame in a more compact manner for transportation while remaining assembled.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2020Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Geof J.
