Publication number: 20220361590Abstract: There is provided an aerosol generating device for use with a heat source and an aerosol-forming substrate. The aerosol generating device comprises an elongate body having a longitudinal surface extending between an upstream end and a downstream end. The elongate body comprises an opening at the downstream end of the elongate body, and a cavity for receiving a heat source and an aerosol-forming substrate. The cavity is accessible through an aperture in the longitudinal surface of the elongate body. The upstream end of the cavity is closed and the downstream end of the cavity is in fluid communication with the opening. The aerosol generating device further comprises a closing member movable relative to the elongate body between an open position in which the aperture in open, and an experience position in which the aperture is closed by a first portion of the closing member. There is further provided an aerosol generating system comprising the aerosol generating device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2020Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Philipp Bernhard, Antoine Bonadei, Antonino Lanci, Kilian Iannucci, Samuel Malzach, Johannes Petrus Maria Pijnenburg, Hans Peter Wyss

Publication number: 20130326944Abstract: A plug may be releasably mounted on a tip of a nozzle of an injector, and the injector may be pushed toward a borehole in a tree trunk so as to introduce and mount the plug in the borehole using the injector. Then, the injector may be operated to inject liquid into the borehole by way of the plug. Then, the injector may be withdrawn from the tree trunk, and the plug may remain in the borehole, such as for reuse. The plug may at least seek to function as a barrier device for both restricting contact between the borehole and the injector's nozzle, and restricting any backflow of the liquid from the borehole through the plug. The plug may include an elastic tube that functions as a check valve for restricting backflow through the plug.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2012Publication date: December 12, 2013Applicant: SYNGENTA PARTICIPATIONS AGInventors: Gery Obrist, Peter Wyss

Patent number: 5213885Abstract: For fulling, the mineral fiber sheets (11) are moved in the direction of the arrow by means of two endless studded belts, only the lower one (15) of which is visible in the drawing. By means of the first fulling tool (29), pre-fulling to a depth of about 8 cm is effected. With the second fulling tool (30), fulling to a depth of about 11 cm is effected. During the fulling process, the region of the mineral fiber sheet (11) not belonging to the fulling zone is supported on the bottom and top, so that a change in the fibrous structure of the material takes place only in the peripheral region that subsequently forms a compressible zone (23). The fulling is done from the side, or in other words in the same direction as the later compression upon installation of the mineral fiber sheet between two rafters.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1991Date of Patent: May 25, 1993Assignee: Flumroc AGInventors: Hans Zogg, Peter Wyss
