Abstract: The present invention relates to an elongated smoking article that extends in a longitudinal direction and comprises a cylindrical smoking body with a combustible material that is surrounded by a wrapping paper. The smoking article further comprises a filter element that is configured to reduce substances from combustion gases drawn through the filter element from the burning smoking body. A first base area of the filter element faces a base area of the smoking body and a second base area is an open base area. A tipping paper is circumscribing the smoking body and the filter element and is attached to external surfaces of the smoking body and the filter element. A flavoring is disposed in or on the tipping paper spaced apart from the second base area in the longitudinal direction and with a distribution that varies in a longitudinal direction of the tipping paper.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an elongated smoking article (100) (100) that extends in a longitudinal direction (L) and comprises a cylindrical smoking body (10) with a combustible material (11) that is surrounded by a wrapping paper (12). The smoking article (100) further comprises a filter element (20) that is configured to reduce substances from combustion gases drawn through the filter element (20) from the burning smoking body (10). A tipping paper (30) is circumscribing the smoking body (10) and the filter element (20) and is attached to external surfaces (13, 21) of the smoking body (10) and the filter element (20). According to the invention, a flavoring (80) is disposed in or on the tipping paper (30) with a distribution that varies in a circumferential direction (C) of the tipping paper (30), such that the amount and/or type of flavoring (80) contacting a smoker's lips (90) depends on a rotational state of the elongated smoking article (100) with respect to the circumferential direction (C).

Abstract: A system (100) and method for determining the air leakage of a space (102) in a building is disclosed. The system (100) comprises a processor (120); a source (130) of compressed air; a pressure sensor (150) configured to measure the pressure of air residing within the space (130) and to provide background pressure signals to the processor (120); a nozzle unit (140) for metering the supply of a pulse of compressed air from the source (130) and for directing the pulse into the space (102) and a source pressure sensor (132) configured to measure a transient pressure during the pulse and to provide a transient pressure signal to the processor (120), wherein the processor (120) is configured to determine the air leakage based on changes in the background pressure signals and from the transient pressure signal. This provides a more reliable and cost effective way of measuring air leakage.

Abstract: Various safety systems for power tools, and in particular table saws include detection systems for detecting a dangerous condition relative to a blade of the power tool, reaction systems for taking mitigation action in response to detection of a dangerous condition. The safety system may detect, prevent, and/or mitigate a dangerous condition associated with the power tool.

Abstract: A pouch for tobacco with revertable pockets, wherein the pouch comprises a first pocket comprising a front wall, a back wall, a first opening and a flap formed by an elongated part of the back wall to close the first opening; a second pocket comprising a front wall, a back wall and a second opening; wherein the first and the second pocket are connected to each other along a reverting line such that the first pocket and the second pocket are foldable relative to each other along said reverting line in order to revertably oppose the front walls of the first and second pocket or to oppose the back walls of the first and second pocket.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pouch for tobacco comprising a pocket for containing the tobacco and having an opening providing access to the interior of the pocket, wherein the opening of the pocket is provided with a zipper closure for releasably sealing the opening, and wherein the zipper closure comprises two opposing, longitudinally-extending and interlockable rib and groove profiles, characterized in that at least a part of one of the profiles has intermittent structural alterations along the length of the profiles to provide an intermittent sensory perception, like e.g. an audible and/or tactile sensation, when opening or closing the zipper closure of the pouch.

Abstract: An interconnect device can be aligned in a first plane and can include a printed circuit board having a tongue portion and a pin portion. The pin portion can include a plurality of pins extending away from the printed circuit board. The interconnect device can be configured to electrically couple with a main logic board aligned in a second plane. In particular, the plurality of pins can be inserted into corresponding electrical contact locations within the main logic board to form a biplanar connection. The biplanar connection can be made in way that minimizes signal loss for high speed data transfers.
