  • Patent number: 11964098
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices, methods of producing such devices, and elements of such devices. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides devices configured for vaporization of an aerosol precursor composition that is contained in a reservoir and transported to a heating element by a liquid transport element. The liquid transport element may include a porous monolith.

  • Publication number: 20040118436
    Abstract: A plasma etching chamber is cleaned with a supply of pressurized nitrogen or argon that is electrically heated. The cleaning cycle is performed during the idle time following an etching cycle. Electrically heated cleaning gas flows into the etching chamber for a predetermined period during which the etching chamber rises. Flow of heated cleaning gas is then stopped, and the etching chamber is evacuated by existing equipment. The cycle can be started automatically using a pressure signal from a conventional purging gas line or from a signal at a SECS/GEM port.

  • Patent number: 5388215
    Abstract: The functions of two virtual operating systems (e. S/370 VM, VSE or IX370 and S/88 OS) are merged into one physical system. Partner pairs of S/88 processors run the S/88 OS and handle the fault tolerant and single system image aspects of the system. One or more partner pairs of S/370 processors are coupled to corresponding S/88 processors directly and through the S/88 bus. Each S/370 processor is allocated from 1 to 16 megabytes of contiguous storage from the S/88 main storage. Each S/370 virtual operating system thinks its memory allocation starts at address 0, and it manages its memory through normal S/370 dynamic memory allocation and paging techniques. The S/370 is limit checked to prevent the S/370 from accessing S/88 memory space. The S/88 Operating System is the master over all system hardware and I/O devices.

  • Patent number: 4992482
    Abstract: Certain organobromines are added to blends of polyphenylene ether and alkenyl aromatic polymer to reduce mold cool time of the composition. These organobromines also reduce residual blowing agent in the composition after expansion and especially following molding of the composition.

  • Patent number: 4042827
    Abstract: X-ray generation by stimulated emission of radiation is achieved from an ensemble of energized atoms with inner-shell vacancies, which ensemble of atoms is obtained in one example by the interaction of a beam swept at approximately the speed of light along the length of an extended interactant material providing an active region moving in synchronization with a resonant X-ray pulse traveling along the material.
