Abstract: Features relating to a vaporizer body are provided. The vaporizer body may include an outer shell that includes an inner region defined by an outer shell sidewall. A support structure is configured to fit within the inner region of the outer shell. The support structure includes a storage region defined by a top support structure, a bottom support structure, a bottom cap, and a gasket. An integrated board assembly is configured to fit within the storage region of the support structure. The integrated board assembly may include a printed circuit board assembly formed of multiple layers that form a rigid structure and that include an inner, flexible layer. A first antenna is integrated at a proximal end of the flexible layer, and a second antenna is integrated at a distal end of the flexible layer.

Abstract: The invention relates, inter alia, to a method for producing an electro-optical component (10, 200) suitable for emitting electromagnetic radiation (120), wherein in the method a first intermediate layer (60) is applied on a carrier, a second intermediate layer (70) is applied on the first intermediate layer, and after the second intermediate layer has been applied, the buried first intermediate layer is locally modified, wherein as a result of the local modification of the buried first intermediate layer in a lateral direction a refractive index jump is produced which brings about a lateral wave guiding of the electromagnetic radiation (120) in the unmodified region of the first intermediate layer.

Abstract: An inferential sensor module is incorporated into an engine simulation model. One or more parameters for the inferential sensor module are calibrated using one or more of engine measurement data and the engine simulation model. The calibration is performed such that a difference between an inferred signal predicted by the inferential sensor module and a signal measured on an engine is minimized. The inferential sensor module and the one or more calibrated parameters are loaded into an engine control unit in order to predict inferred variables.

Abstract: A device including a locally modified buried first layer. A second layer is arranged on top of the first layer. The first layer includes at least one modified section and at least one unmodified section. The modified material of the locally modified buried first layer changes or induces mechanical strain in a portion of the second layer which is arranged above the at least one modified section. At least one nanostructure is placed on top of the second layer in an area, which is located above the at least one unmodified section of the first layer or adjacent thereto, said at least one nanostructure being formed by a strain-sensitive third material deposited on the locally strained second layer.
