Abstract: The method includes first defining a reservoir in a housing, the reservoir configured to contain a non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation, the non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation being devoid of nicotine and including at least one non-nicotine compound, positioning a heater and a wick in a chamber, the heater being in heating proximity to the wick, second defining at least one first channel, the at least one first channel being configured to communicate the non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation from the reservoir to the wick, and third defining at least one first air passage, the at least one first air passage being configured to allow air to enter the reservoir.

Abstract: A telephone interface and voice recognition driven Internet browser system and method for accessing/browsing the Internet or other remote computing services on a cable or satellite television includes a phone for receiving a voice signal from a user. The voice signal controls a telephone interface, which displays Internet contents or other computing services on the television via a cable or satellite television channel/media. The system also includes a voice recognizer, preferably operated on a supercomputer or located in the phone, for recognizing/interpreting/analyzing a plurality of voice signals and generating command signals to access/browse the Internet or other computer services. The voice recognizer is capable of recognizing/interpreting/analyzing voice signals transmitted from a plurality of users in real time. The system further includes a stack of computers and an Internet browser.

Abstract: A sheath and a dilator assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a sheath having a proximal sheath end, a distal sheath end, and a generally tubular sheath body extending between the proximal sheath end and the distal sheath end. The sheath body includes sheath indicator indicia extending from the distal sheath end toward the proximal sheath end. A dilator is disposed within the sheath. The dilator includes a proximal dilator end extending proximally of the proximal sheath end, a distal dilator end extending distally of the distal sheath end, and a dilator body extending between the proximal dilator end and the distal dilator end. The dilator body includes dilator indicator indicia extending from the distal dilator end toward the proximal dilator end, such that the sheath indicator indicia and the dilator indicator indicia display predetermined dimensions from the distal dilator end toward the proximal dilator end.

Abstract: A luer fitting is disclosed. The luer fitting includes a body having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end comprises an antibacterial component disposed therewith. The luer fitting is connected over a catheter that has been primed with a locking solution. The antibacterial component is fluidly engaged with the locking solution such that the antibacterial component diffuses through the locking solution. A method of reducing antibacterial activity in a catheter utilizing the fitting is also disclosed.
