Abstract: An aerosol generator (100) has a vibratable plate (1) with apertures therein and an annular piezo (2) which causes movement of the vibratable plate (1). An annular support member (3) supports the piezo (2) and the vibratable plate (1). A first electrical power conducting pin (10) engages directly with a first, top, surface of the piezo (2). A second electrical power conducting pin (11) indirectly conducts electrical power to a second surface of the piezo (2), by contacting an extension tab (103) of the support member (20), also on its top side. There is a film of cured epoxy adhesive on the tab (103), providing excellent gripping force between the pin (11) and the support (3). The aerosol generator (100) avoids need for soldered joints for electrical contact, and the pins are conveniently mounted parallel to each on the same lateral and top side of the piezo and support member. The pins may have multi-point tips (50) for particularly effective electrical contact.

Abstract: A nebuliser control device has a manually adjustable user interface and a cable extending from the interface to a power source, and a cable extending from the interface to an aerosol generator. The interface is manually adjustable by physical movement of an actuator such a slider or a rotating knob to locally control the operation of the aerosol generator.

Abstract: A tracking system (1) updates data to, and retrieves data from, learning management databases (10). Update data is received from course player servers (4), and requests are received from client systems. A common interface (21) interfaces with all players and clients, and it polls translation modules (22) for an appropriate and available module when a message is received. A tracking engine (20) manages threads and a queue for both synchronous and asynchronous communication. The queue is linked with database interfaces (24), which are Schema Access Objects (SAOs). Each SAO is pooled as a set of instances, activated and managed by a pooling manager.

Abstract: A system collects and analyzes data to determine a media storage unit to be distributed through a media distribution network for positioning in a media vending machine. A media purveyor receives popularity data, sales data for the media storage unit within a defined geographical region, demographic data, and inventory data to help the media purveyor in determining which media storage units should be positioned within a media vending machine. The media purveyor provides data to advertisers to assist the advertisers in composing an offer for advertising space on the media vending machine. After receiving the offers from the advertisers, the media purveyor can determine which advertisement to place on the media vending machine.
