Abstract: A cartridge for mounting on a main body of an aerosol generating device includes: a liquid storage extending in a longitudinal direction of the cartridge to form an outer wall of the cartridge, the liquid storage including a space accommodating a liquid composition therein; a heater that heats the liquid composition accommodated in the liquid storage to generate an aerosol; and a coupling protrusion including an elastic material, the coupling protrusion protruding from an outer surface of the liquid storage and coupling the main body to the cartridge.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of preparing a polymer, which includes: adding an alkyl-substituted aromatic vinyl-based monomer and a vinyl cyanide-based monomer to a reactor and initiating polymerization; and performing polymerization while continuously adding an alkyl-substituted aromatic vinyl-based monomer and a multifunctional initiator to the reactor, wherein the continuous addition of the alkyl-substituted aromatic vinyl-based monomer and the multifunctional initiator is initiated when a polymerization conversion rate is 10 to 30%, and the continuous addition of the alkyl-substituted aromatic vinyl-based monomer and the multifunctional initiator is terminated when a polymerization conversion rate is 70 to 80%.

Abstract: An aerosol generating device and an operation method thereof are disclosed. The aerosol generating device may include a heater for heating an aerosol generating material, a battery for supplying power to the heater, and a controller for dividing a preheating period for preheating the heater into a plurality of sections and controlling so that more power is supplied to the heater in a first section than in a second section among the plurality of sections.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for manufacturing a grilled seaweed includes the apparatus comprising a grilling unit having a first housing with a first inlet opening and a first outlet opening which communicate with each other; a first conveyor for transferring a sheet of seaweed from the first inlet opening to the first outlet opening; a first heating source installed over the first conveyor to discharge a flame onto a top surface of the seaweed being transferred by the first conveyor; and a second heating source installed on both sides of a lower portion of the first conveyor to apply a flame onto a bottom surface of the seaweed being transferred by the first conveyor.

Abstract: An aerosol generating device includes a main body and a cartridge detachably coupled to the main body. The main body includes a controller, a battery, and a first wireless communication unit. The cartridge includes a second wireless communication unit. The controller controls output power of the battery to apply a power pattern to the cartridge, and the first wireless communication unit establishes a wireless connection with the second wireless communication unit when power supplied from the battery to the cartridge matches a preset power pattern.

Abstract: Provided is a method of cleaning an aerosol generating device, the method including: receiving a user input for performing a cleaning operation; obtaining information about a performance history of the cleaning operation in response to the user input; setting a mode of the cleaning operation to one of a plurality of cleaning modes based on the information about the performance history; and performing the cleaning operation according to the set cleaning mode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a probe bonding device and method. The probe bonding device includes, a second gripper configured to move the probe to a bonding position on the substrate, a laser unit configured to emit a laser beam, a fourth vision device configured to check whether the probe gripped by the second gripper; and a controller configured to control the second gripper and the fourth vision device, wherein the controller controls the fourth vision device to photograph one end of the probe a plurality of numbers of times while sequentially adjusting a height of at least one of the second gripper and the fourth vision device at a predetermined interval to acquire information on a height of the probe based on a plurality of captured images, thereby bonding the probe to an accurate position to enhance bonding quality of the probe and quality of a probe card.
