Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a component for a delivery system. The component comprises a body of material, a plurality of aerosol-modifying agent capsules in the body of material, and a plurality of particles in the body of material. The aerosol-modifying agent capsules and/or particles are interspersed within the body of material. The particles are configured such that, in use, the particles promote breaking of the aerosol-modifying agent capsules upon the application of an external force to the aerosol provision system component by a user.

Abstract: A subsurface representation that includes geometry and material properties of subsurface geological formations may be generated. To compute the initial (pre-production) state of stress, gravitational forces and tectonic forces may be applied to the subsurface representation. These loads may result in stress and displacement fields within the subsurface representation. The stress field may be calibrated against available measurements. At this point, the subsurface representation may be reinitialized by resetting the displacements within the subsurface representation while maintaining the stress field.

Abstract: A component for use in an aerosol provision system is disclosed. The component includes a region through which, in use, an aerosol from the aerosol provision system passes, the component being configured to enable selective interaction of the aerosol with a substance locatable in the region.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device for heating aerosolisable material to produce an aerosol, including a heating chamber configured to receive aerosolisable material having an inlet and an outlet, an inlet valve associated with the inlet, and an outlet valve associated with the outlet, the inlet valve and the outlet valves moveable from a first configuration to a second configuration responsive to a change in a property of the heating chamber, such that in the first configuration the inlet valve and the outlet valves are arranged to seal the inlet and the outlet to substantially prevent gaseous flow through the inlet and the outlet, and in the second configuration the inlet valve and the outlet valve are arranged to allow gaseous flow through the inlet and outlet.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery systems, the system comprising an outer housing, a mouthpiece, an electrical power source, an aerosol generating component and a controller, wherein a portion of at least one of the mouthpiece and the outer housing is configured to move between respective first and second positions in response to the controller detecting a change in one or more operational parameters of the device.

Abstract: A structural member comprising a first round flange, a second round flange substantially parallel to the first round flange, an elongate web disposed between the first and second round flange, the web having an upper edge, and a lower edge, wherein the first round flange, the second round flange and the elongate web are secured together to form a structurally integral unit. The structural member may further comprise a third round flange and a fourth round flange substantially parallel to the third round flange, wherein the round flanges and the elongate web are secured together to form a structurally integral unit in which the first face of the web is in contact with the first round flange and the third round flange, and the second face of the web is in contact with the second round flange and the fourth round flange.

Abstract: A dual-chamber package system for absorbent articles, comprises: a retaining chamber configured to vertically retain a plurality of absorbent articles, a dispensing chamber positioned underneath the retaining chamber, wherein the dispensing chamber has a front side opening, and a divider separating the retaining chamber and the dispensing chamber, wherein at least a portion of the divider is moveable so that a bottommost absorbent article is configured to be dispensed from the front side opening of the dispensing chamber.

Abstract: A join is provided for end-joining elongate timber flanges. The join includes: an elongate planar web having an upper portion running along the longitudinal axis, and a lower portion running along the longitudinal axis; the elongate planar web having, in order running along the longitudinal axis, a first region, a second region and a third region, the second region having a greater width than the first and third regions; and a first elongate timber flange having a slot engaging upper portions of the first and second regions of the planar web; a second elongate timber flange have a slot engaging the upper portions of the second and third regions of the planar web. The lower edge of the planar web extends beyond the edge of the first and second elongate timber flanges so as to provide an engagement point for a further elongate timber flange.

Abstract: A method of controlling a froth flotation cell in a froth flotation circuit for separating substances comprises periodically carrying out a control routine to maximize froth stability during the operation of the cell. The control routine comprises changing the gas flow rate to the cell in a series of steps and assessing the froth stability at each gas flow rate and continuing the step changes in the gas flow rate until the froth stability is a peak froth stability or is within a predetermined range of the peak froth stability of the cell.
