  • Machine for laser etching and tag writing a vaporizer cartridge
    Patent number: 11684090
    Abstract: Features relating to a laser etching and/or tag writing machine are provided. The machine may include a tray assembly including a tray and a nest. The tray may hold an array of vaporizer cartridges. The tray may allow for a laser-etching operation to be performed by the machine on at least one or two sides of the vaporizer cartridges held by the tray. The tray may allow for the array of vaporizer cartridges to be rotated at the same time between laser etching operations. The tray may additionally and/or alternatively allow for the machine, such as via an antenna, to write data to an NFC tag of a corresponding vaporizer cartridge before, during, and/or after each laser etching operation.

  • Large screen portable LED display
    Patent number: 8376581
    Abstract: A large size display is transportable, being construed of multiple rigid segments containing light emitting diodes (LED's). The rigid segments are linked by hinges or cables so the display is flexible and can be rolled up for storage and transport. The display can be unrolled upward or downwards such as from a protective container, such as a canister or truss. The weight of the display on the linked hinges or the tensioned cables provides sufficient rigidity. Such cables, like a signal and power distribution bus, are connected to the rear of each rigid element. The display can be repaired by removing and replacing selected rigid segments from the front thereof.
