Abstract: Methods of generating image data for three-dimensional topographical volumes, and associated systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method of generating a volumetric dataset for surgical navigation includes obtaining a three-dimensional graphical volume of a patient representing one or more surface contours of patient anatomy. The method can further include voxelating the three-dimensional topographical volume to generate a three-dimensional voxelated volume, and volume rendering the three-dimensional voxelated volume to a sequence of two-dimensional cross-sectional images that can each include a two-dimensional slice of the three-dimensional voxelated volume. The method can include conforming the sequence to an imaging standard (e.g., the DICOM Standard).

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, devices, and/or methods of use thereof regarding vaping devices, such as vaporizers, capable of receiving cartridges of different sizes and having protective sleeves or covers. In various aspects, a vaping device includes a battery having a base portion and a tower portion adjacent to the base portion. The base portion may define a void for receiving a cartridge of a first size and/or a cartridge of a second size different than the first size. The vaping device may also include a sleeve for receiving the battery. The sleeve defines a first void for receiving the cartridge of a first size and a second void for receiving the cartridge of a second size different than the first size.

Abstract: A system for diffusing an inhalable substance comprises a power supply including a cartridge interface. The cartridge interface mates with a first power supply interface of a proprietary cartridge, and the system also includes an adaptor including a second power supply interface and a foreign cartridge interface. The second power supply interface mates with the cartridge interface, and the foreign cartridge interface mates with a power coupler of a foreign cartridge.

Abstract: Disclosed vaporizing device include a housing connectable to a mouthpiece, where the housing includes a body extending between proximal and distal ends and at least one air inlet disposed on a side surface of the body. The vaporizing device also include a cartridge received by the housing, where the cartridge includes a bypass channel isolated from an internal reservoir, and a distal projection having at least one slot and at least one pin. The vaporizing device also includes a base connectable to the distal projection of the cartridge. The distal projection of the cartridge and a proximal end of the base may define a chamber in fluid communication with the at least one air inlet and the bypass channel.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to vaporizing devices. A vaporizing device can include a cartridge for receiving a center post within an interior of the cartridge, with the cartridge comprising a reservoir between an inner wall of the cartridge and the center post. The center post may have proximal and distal ends and a body extending therebetween. The body can define an internal channel capable of receiving an atomizing assembly in the distal end thereof. The distal end of the center post includes one or more voids in fluid communication with the internal channel and one or more ribs positioned proximally above the one or more voids, the one or more ribs extending radially outwardly into the reservoir of the cartridge of the vaporizing device.

Abstract: A vaping device system includes a first tray for holding vaping device bodies, the first tray having a plurality of voids, the voids holding a portion of a vaping device body to be filled with a substance. The first tray and the vaping device bodies are covered. A second tray for holding vaping device mouthpieces has a plurality of voids allowing the vaping device mouthpieces to be vertically aligned with the corresponding vaping device bodies of the first tray, each of the voids holding a portion of a vaping device mouthpiece to cap a corresponding vaping device body. The first tray is capable of being placed over a jig having a plurality of jig voids corresponding to the voids for holding the vaping device bodies.

Abstract: A vaping device packaging system includes a first tray for holding vaping device bodies, the first tray having a plurality of voids, the voids holding a portion of a vaping device body to be filled with a substance. The first tray and the vaping device bodies are covered by a first cover.
