  • Patent number: 11944130
    Abstract: A vaporizer device includes various modular components. The vaporizer device includes a first subassembly. The first subassembly includes a cartridge connector that secures a vaporizer cartridge to the vaporizer device and includes at least two receptacle contacts that electrically communicate with the vaporizer cartridge. The vaporizer device includes a second subassembly. The second subassembly includes a skeleton defining a rigid tray that retains at least a power source. The vaporizer device also includes a third subassembly. The third subassembly includes a plurality of charging contacts that supply power to the power source, and an end cap that encloses an end of the vaporizer device.

  • Patent number: 11929300
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) package with an embedded heat spreader in a redistribution layer (RDL) is provided. IC packaging facilitates a high density package for ICs, including monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). However, IC packaging may result in reduced heat removal from an IC, decreasing radio frequency (RF) circuit performance. In an exemplary aspect, an IC package is provided which incorporates an embedded heat spreader within a dielectric layer of an RDL coupled to an IC die. The embedded heat spreader provides efficient heat transfer, robust RF performance, and operation through millimeter wave (mmW) frequencies, all in a miniature low-cost, low-profile surface mountable (SM) package.

  • Patent number: 11806838
    Abstract: A surface-treating article, comprising a circular substrate (100) comprising a first major surface, an abrasive disposed on the first major surface, the abrasive having a first concentration at a first radius (110) measured from the center of the substrate, the abrasive having a second concentration not equal to the first concentration at a second radius (120) measured from the center of the substrate, wherein the first radius (110) and the second radius (120) are different lengths.

  • Patent number: 9615653
    Abstract: A brush has a brushing section and a handle section. The handle section has a recess with an open exterior end. An axial slot is formed in the handle. A core has an enlarged exterior extension. A plurality of parallel bores extend diametrically through the core at spaced locations. A plurality of elastic hair bands, each in a closed loop, are adapted to be positioned within the parallel bores extending from both sides of the bores. The core with extending hair bands is adapted to be inserted into the recess with the hair bands extending through the slot for selective removal by a user.
