  • Publication number: 20230026984
    Abstract: A smoking device has a cylindrical combustion chamber with a channel along a length, a mouthpiece and a closed cap with a through hole, and an outer shell having an inside diameter and a second length, with a second channel opening through a wall of the outer shell and a third channel in a portion of the outer shell away from the second channel. The outer shell engages the combustion chamber in a slip fit, enabling a user to rotate the outer shell. The first and second channels are aligned such a user may load smokable material into the combustion chamber, and the user is enabled to rotate the outer shell to align the third channel with the first channel, such that material may be ignited through an intersection of the first and the third channels at different positions along the length.

  • Patent number: 8411828
    Abstract: Call flow information can build ‘intent’ into call flows having a series of intended steps and one or more alternative steps for selected intended steps. Users can advance in the call flow based on any response other than one or more alternative valid responses for the one intended step that lead in the call flow to one or more alternative steps to the one intended step because every action in the call flow motivates the user to follow the predetermined ordering. A user can proceed from a first intended step in the series of intended steps to a second intended step in the series of intended steps based on a user's response or information known or discovered about the user.
