Abstract: A shisha device comprises a cooling element (13) disposed along an airflow channel to cool an aerosol. The cooling re) element unit utilizes active cooling and may additionally utilize passive cooling. The cooling element may comprise a conduit (21) comprising a thermally conductive material. The cooling element may be integrally formed with an accelerating element (14) disposed along the airflow channel. Cooling may occur before or during acceleration of the aerosol by the accelerating element. The cooling may contribute to the condensation in the aerosol.

Abstract: A user can manage personal contact information in a contacts application across multiple writable service provider accounts with only a minimum of user action required. An update function of the contacts application gives the user the ability to easily copy one or more contact records brought up in the contacts application to writable service provider accounts selectively chosen by the user.

Abstract: The vaporizer includes a tube element defining an inner volume for receiving an amount of liquid aerosol-forming substrate, a mesh in the inner volume of the tube element, and a heater outside, the heater including an electrical resistive heater, and the heater is configured to heat the mesh and the received amount of liquid aerosol-forming substrate to a temperature sufficient to volatilize at least a part of the received amount of liquid aerosol-forming substrate.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating article is provided, including an aerosol-generating substrate; and a mouthpiece disposed downstream of the aerosol-generating substrate, a peripheral region of the mouthpiece including one or more closed pockets of air.

Abstract: Silane-functionalized compositions comprising a polymeric brominated flame retardant with a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of equal to or greater than (?) 1,000 g/mol exhibit improved burn and crush strength properties as compared to silane-functionalized compositions alike in all aspects except that the Mw of the brominated flame retardant is less than (<) 1,000 g/mol.

Abstract: An atmospheric pressure plasma system includes an atmospheric pressure plasma source that generates a glow discharge-type plasma. The atmospheric pressure plasma source comprises a plasma head, a heating element and an active cooling element and the heating element and active cooling element control the plasma head temperature to a set-point temperature independent of variations in plasma generating power or plasma power ON/OFF status.

Abstract: A device for resisting rotation of a tap fitted to a work surface comprises a body;an engagement formation for engaging with a part of the tap; and an attachment means for irrotatably attaching the device to the tap. The device further comprises fastening means for irrotatably fastening the device to a work surface.

Abstract: An action framework system provides context-based actions in association with a source application. The source application detects selection of a content element presented by the source application. The content element is associated with an application identifier identifying a target application and an action identifier identifying an operation to be executed by the target application on the content element. The target application identified by the application identifier is executed to perform the operation identified by the action identifier on the content element, responsive to detection of the selection of the content element. In one implementation, the source application is a search feature providing different contexts of search results (e.g., from a local file system search, a local application content search, a Web search, a remote application content search).

Abstract: A method of making a three-dimensional tobacco object comprises providing tobacco dust comprising tobacco particles having an average particle size of from about 100 micrometres to about 400 micrometres; preparing an aqueous slurry containing the tobacco dust; supplying the slurry to a print head of an additive manufacturing system; and dispensing the slurry by means of the print head to form successive layers of the tobacco object.

Abstract: A battery-operated pendant beacon light comprises a base housing forming a lens, an upper housing coupled to the base housing, a battery compartment coupled to the upper housing and extending into the base housing, a rotatable switch coupled to a top of the upper housing with a hook assembly coupled to the dimmer switch. A plurality of lights is coupled to the upper housing and shine light into the lower housing.

Abstract: Methods and systems for thermal management methods to control the rates of chemical reaction at the surface of a substrate being treated by atmospheric plasma. Integrated thermal management includes static heating and cooling of the plasma head and the substrate, as well as dynamic heating and cooling of the substrate surface, before and after the substrate passes the linear aperture of the atmospheric plasma head.

Abstract: An ultrasound system includes an ultrasound device configured to be positioned within a body lumen of a patient. The ultrasound device includes a rotatable, flexible elongate drive cable comprising a proximal portion and a distal portion, a first ultrasound element disposed at the distal portion of the drive cable and configured to obtain imaging data of the body lumen while rotating, and a second ultrasound element disposed at the distal portion of the drive cable and configured to apply an ultrasound therapy to the body lumen while rotating. Associated devices, systems, and methods are also provided.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for using ultrasound for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are provided. Ultrasound signals may be transmitted and/or received by ultrasound transducers in an ultrasound device positioned within the anatomy of a patient. The ultrasound transducers may be arranged in an array such that a first segment of the array is configured to transmit ultrasound pulses and receive ultrasound echoes for diagnostic procedures and a second segment of the array is configured to transmit ultrasound pulses for therapeutic procedures. The received ultrasound echoes may be used to generate two- or three-dimensional images of the anatomy.
