Abstract: The present disclosure provides a control body adapted for use in an electronic smoking article. The control body includes a shell and a coupler that is adapted to connect the control body to a cartridge of an electronic smoking article. The coupler further is adapted to communicate a pressure reduction within the coupler to a pressure reduction space in the shell. Also positioned within the shell is an electronic circuit board having a pressure sensor attached thereto. The electronic circuit board can be positioned to be parallel to a central axis of the shell. A first end of the pressure sensor can be isolated within the pressure reduction space, and a second end of the pressure sensor can be in communication with a normal pressure space within the shell. One or more light emitting diodes can be attached to the electronic circuit board. At least a portion of the coupler can be light transmissive so that light from the LED is visible through the coupler.

Abstract: An animal paw cover having a water-resistant receptacle is provided. The receptacle has an opening at one end and is substantially contoured to the shape of an animal paw. The receptacle is formed to receive and enclose the paw such that the receptacle is not loose-fitting when the paw is inserted through the opening. Advantageously, the receptacle is disposable.

Abstract: A vehicle snowplow system with an adjustable-bias tripping mechanism. The system includes a snowplow blade or moldboard which is pivotally mounted to a frame, the latter being adapted for mounting to a vehicle. The moldboard "trips" or pivotally moves between a normal plowing position and a displaced position when a lower region of the moldboard contacts a rigid obstruction. The system includes at least one biasing assembly operable to bias the moldboard toward the normal position with a biasing force, the biasing assembly configured so as to provide an adjustment to the biasing force to compensate for variances in roadway or environmental conditions.
