Abstract: A shisha device configured to pierce a cartridge comprising aerosol-forming substrate. The shisha device is configured to prevent piercing of the cartridge until the cartridge is inserted into a receptacle of the device. Piercing of the cartridge may require a step separate from insertion of the cartridge into the receptacle of the shisha device. That is, the shisha device may be configured such that insertion of the cartridge into the receptacle of the device, without more, does not cause the cartridge to be pierced.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device comprises a drawer receivable in a drawer receptacle. The drawer may define a cartridge receptacle to removably receive a cartridge. The cartridge may comprise an aerosol-forming substrate. The drawer may be movable between an open position and a closed position in a first direction. The device may also comprise a heating element configured for heating the aerosol-forming substrate in a cartridge when a cartridge is received in the cartridge receptacle and the drawer is in the closed position. The aerosol-generating device may comprise a shisha device.

Abstract: A computer system is configured to remove motion artifacts in medical images using a generative adversarial network (GAN). The computer system instantiates the GAN having one or more generative network(s) and one or more discriminative network(s) that are pitted against each other to train a generative model and a discriminative model. The training uses a training dataset including a plurality of medical images that are previously classified as without significant motion artifacts for diagnostic purposes. The discriminative model is trained to classify medical images as real or artificial. The generative model is trained to enhance the quality of a medical image and remove motion artifacts by producing a medical image directly from a post-contrast image, without using a pre-contrast mask.

Abstract: Fluid flow control systems are configured to resist erosion-corrosion and minimize wall shear stress during injection or production. A fluid flow control system includes a base pipe with an internal passageway. A housing is positioned around the base pipe to define a fluid flow path between the filter component and the internal passageway. A flow control component is positioned within the fluid flow path in order to control fluid flow. A flow-induced erosion resistance component, which may take a variety of forms, is positioned within the fluid flow path to reduce and/or eliminate wall shear stress along the base pipe. As a result, erosion-corrosion of the bases pipe is reduced and/or eliminated altogether.
