Abstract: A dual-chambered, hybrid vaporizer device and method of use thereof configured to facilitate the atomization of cannabinoid concentrates and flavoring such as terpenes suspended in a liquid solution. A first chamber, equipped with a ceramic coil, is configured to melt solid or semi-solid THC in the form of crystals, concentrates, or extracts, which is then vaporized for inhalation by a user in a separate chamber below the ceramic. A second chamber equipped with a vertical metallic coil then vaporizes flavorings such as terpenes which are suspended in the liquid solution. A single air passageway is employed to direct air through both chambers in a serial fashion before exiting the device through a mouthpiece. The device facilitates measured dosages of THC for inhalation by the user.

A first chamber, equipped with a ceramic coil, is configured to melt solid or semi-solid Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the form of crystals, concentrates, or extracts, which is then vaporized for inhalation by a user in a separate chamber below the ceramic. A second chamber equipped with a vertical metallic coil then vaporizes flavorings such as terpenes which are suspended in the liquid solution. A single air passageway is employed to direct air through both chambers in a serial fashion before exiting the device through a mouthpiece.

Abstract: Various examples are disclosed for autonomously reproducing and destructing virtual machines. Various virtual machines can be provisioned in a computing environment having at least one computing device. Each of the virtual machines provisioned can process a workload assigned to the at least one computing device. Further, each of the virtual machines can independently determine whether to self-replicate or self-destroy based at least on a state of processing of the workload. To self-replicate, each of the virtual machines can cause a new virtual machine to be created, where a processing of the workload is divided between a virtual machine and the new virtual machine created.

Abstract: An improved embroidery hoop is provided. The hoop includes a closed outer loop having a receiving groove in an inner perimeter surface. The receiving groove cooperates with and receives a retaining loop according to a predetermined fit appropriate for holding a fabric workpiece. The outer loop is rigid while the inner retaining loop is sufficiently flexible to be fitted by hand in the receiving groove. The embroidery hoop may optionally include a pull tab for assisting a user in removing the retaining loop from the receiving groove. Moreover, the outer perimeter of the outer loop has a geometry that is arbitrary and independent of the geometry of the receiving groove and retaining loop. Accordingly, the outer loop may comprise fanciful designs.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium for testing set-top boxes. A method includes: receiving an application for testing in a set-top box environment; identifying a set-top box for testing the application; executing the application on the set-top box, including commanding the set-top box to display a plurality of interfaces and initiating commands to transition the set-top box from a first presentation state to a second presentation state; capturing video output associated with the first presentation state; capturing video output associated with the set-top box after the transition to the second presentation state; monitoring and recording network traffic output by the set-top box; and providing an output associated with the monitoring and the captured video output to enable correlation between commands executed as part of the application execution, on screen output and network traffic of the set-top box.
