  • APPARATUS FOR HEATING SMOKEABLE MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20210307398
    Abstract: An apparatus is arranged to heat smokable material (5) to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus has a housing and a plurality of heater segments longitudinally arranged within the housing for heating smokable material contained within the apparatus. At least one heater segment is arranged so as to heat smokable material contained within the at least one heater segment more quickly than at least one other heater segment heats smokable material contained within the at least one other heater segment.
    Type: Application

  • Centrifugal extraction apparatus
    Patent number: 6162162
    Abstract: A process for extracting a component from liquids using dense phase gases or supercritical fluids (dense phase solvent). The process contacts a liquid and the dense phase solvent in a rotating mixer to dissolve a desired fraction into the dense phase solvent to form a loaded solvent. Furthermore, the mixer separates the loaded solvent from the remaining raffinate. Then the rotating mixer discharges the loaded solvent and raffinate. Decreasing pressure on the loaded solvent converts the loaded solvent into a gas and the desired fraction to liberate the desired fraction from the gas.
