Abstract: A filling station for heat-not-burn (HNB) aerosol-generating capsules may include a filling receptacle, a plurality of carriages, and at least one vacuum source. The filling receptacle defines a first series of vacuum ports. The filling receptacle is configured to receive an aerosol-forming substrate. The plurality of carriages are arranged underneath the filling receptacle. Each of the plurality of carriages define a second series of vacuum ports and, optionally, a third series of vacuum ports. Each of the plurality of carriages are configured to receive and hold capsule casings for filling with the aerosol-forming substrate. The at least one vacuum source is configured to draw a vacuum through the capsule casings such that the aerosol-forming substrate is drawn through the first series of vacuum ports in the filling receptacle and into the capsule casings underneath.

Abstract: A decorative vehicle wheel center cap bearing the vehicle manufacturer's logo in the center thereof and maintains the logo in the upright position even at high-speed rotations of the wheel. The center cap is comprised of; 1) a circular film made of 0.3 mm thickness PET (Poly Ethylene There-phthalate), which wears a logo on the front face and has a hole for a shaft at the center, 2) two plastic plates, one of which is made of transparent material such as PC (Poly Carbonate) and COC (Cyclic Olefin Copolymer), 3) a spacer surrounding the circular film with 2 mm gap and connects the two plastic plates, 4) a metal shaft penetrates the center of the circular film and connects the two plastic plates, 5) two plastic stoppers developed on the shaft placed at the front and rear of the circular film and 6) a weight attached to the rear face bottom edge of the circular film. The assembled herb center cap is evacuated to 10 torr to reduce the friction due to the air captured in the center cap.

Abstract: An air jack for use in raising vehicles from the ground comprising an air bag, a hose member which is adapted to connect the exhaust system of a vehicle to the air bag and a valve for preventing the release of exhaust gases from the air bag after it has been inflated.
