Publication number: 20250127218Abstract: An aerosol provision system (1) for generating an aerosol. The aerosol provision system comprises a first reservoir (31) for storing a first aerosol-generating material, wherein the aerosol provision system (1) is configured to generate a first aerosol using the first aerosol-generating material. The aerosol provision system (1) also comprises a second reservoir (101) for storing an active substance, or second aerosol-generating material such that the aerosol provision system (1) is configured to generate a second aerosol using the second aerosol-generating material.

Patent number: 12282053Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, semiconductor products and methods for circuit testing, specifically non-contact circuit testing are provided that allow for the wireless, non-contact testing of an electrical component. For example, non-contact circuit testing is performed using a non-contact testing apparatus that include a circuit cover with a conductive material and an oscilloscope. The circuit cover is places over an electrical component to form a parallel plate capacitor with electrical component. The parallel plate capacitor is formed with an air dielectric between the electrical component and the circuit cover. An electrical signal is initiated at the electrical component to cause a voltage through the parallel plate capacitor. An oscilloscope probe is used to measure the voltage of the parallel plate capacitor to determine a connectivity of the electrical component without contacting the electrical component.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2022Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions Inc.Inventors: Mark Bates, James Edelen, Robert Bauerle, Michael Robert Ladd, David L.

Patent number: 12243405Abstract: Examples provide a temperature-sensitive alert device that monitors temperatures associated with a heating device, such as an oven, stove, or cooktop. The alert device changes the status of the heating device from an off status to an on status if the temperature exceeds a threshold temperature. The alert device initiates an alert if the heating device remains turned on for a period of time which exceeds an expected amount of time. The alert can include an audible sound and/or a visual alert, such as a flashing light. A user can select a snooze function to turn off the alert for an alert delay time without disabling the alert device. When the delay time expires, the alert resumes. The alert device includes a dual component device enabling a first component monitoring a cooktop to synchronize with a second alert device monitoring another heating device, such as a detached oven or stove.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Hearo TechnologiesInventors: James Edward Carr, Myke Bates, Tom Rankin, David Hamilton, Zak Turner
