  • Patent number: 11957169
    Abstract: Vapor provision apparatus including a reservoir housing defining a reservoir for liquid, a liquid transport element for transporting liquid from the reservoir to a vaporizer for vaporization and a channel for the liquid transport element, wherein the channel has a sidewall at least partly defined by a section of the reservoir housing; wherein the liquid transport element comprises a first portion arranged to deliver liquid to the vaporizer and a second portion extending along the channel, wherein the channel has a cross-section that corresponds with the cross-section of the second portion of the liquid transport element in the channel, and wherein the section of the reservoir housing that defines the sidewall of the channel has one or more openings to provide fluid communication between the liquid transport element in the channel and liquid in the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 11937646
    Abstract: A vapor provision system including a vapor generation chamber, a reservoir containing liquid, a vaporizer located in the vapor generation chamber and a liquid transport element arranged to transport liquid from the reservoir through an opening in a wall of the vapor generation chamber to the vaporizer, wherein the liquid transport element in the vapor generation chamber has a cross-sectional area which is greater than that of the opening, and wherein the liquid transport element in the vapor generation chamber abuts the wall surrounding the opening to help prevent leakage.

  • Patent number: 11937637
    Abstract: An aerosol source for a vapor provision system includes a vapor-generating element; a reservoir for holding source liquid, the reservoir being bounded by a wall having an opening therein; and a liquid transport element including a first portion arranged to receive liquid from the reservoir via the opening, a second portion peripheral to the first portion, and a third portion arranged to deliver liquid from the first portion to the vapor-generating element; wherein at least part of the second portion is compressed against a section of the wall around the opening, in use, to provide a sealing effect around at least part of the first portion to promote movement of liquid towards the vapor-generating element.

  • Patent number: 8609194
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for pretreatment an object to be white light scanned to enable accurate and consistent scanning. In those instances where the object part has a reflective or refractive surface or is made from a material having translucent or transparent properties the object must be pretreated to ensure accurate data collection during the scanning process. The object is coated with a composition forming a thin and uniform film of non destructive material coating to enhance the surface contrast characteristics for the mono-chromatic fringe pattern employed in the white light scanning process.
