Abstract: An electronic vaporizer for solid and semi-solid materials which includes a controller, and a heating chamber whose walls are constructed from an electrically resistive material to perform both structural and heating functions. The controller is electrically connected to and supplies power to the heating chamber. The controller contains both a melting and an aerosolizing temperature setpoint according to the material loaded, and automatically sequences from one to the other after an appropriate delay. The vaporizer contains a sensor which detects the opening of the chamber and communicates this state to the controller, which pre-melts the material to the chamber during or after material loading.

Abstract: An electronic vaping device comprises a heating element that is to be energized to convert a portion of a medium into a vapor by elevating a temperature of the medium, which comprises at least a first chemical constituent to be included in the vapor. Air entraining the vapor flows through an airflow passage as a result of a user inhaling through a mouthpiece during a puff. A sensor is arranged to sense a parameter indicative of an airflow rate of the air entraining the vapor flowing through the airflow passage. A controller controls operation of the heating element based on the airflow rate of the air indicated by the sensed parameter, controlling at least one of a concentration and/or a yield of the first chemical constituent, and/or a temperature of the vapor flowing through a mouthpiece based on the airflow rate indicated by the parameter sensed by the sensor.

Abstract: Provided is an electronic vaping device that includes a heating element configured to convert a portion of a liquid into a vapor by elevating a temperature of the liquid. An airflow passage is defined by the vaping device to channel a stream of a fluid including air, or a combination of air and vapor, adjacent to the heating element as a result of a user inhaling through a mouthpiece. The stream of fluid flowing through the airflow passage entrains the vapor and transports the vapor toward the mouthpiece. A pre-heater is arranged upstream of the heating element to pre-heat at least a portion of the fluid to a pre-heated temperature. The pre-heated temperature is greater than an ambient temperature of the air that is introduced to the pre-heater. A controller independently controls the heating element and the pre-heater.

Additionally, an electronic circuit implementing the same functionality.

Abstract: A method of laser irradiation for alleviating the physical symptoms associated with acute or chronic inflammatory conditions, which can include directing a laser beam from a laser unit in a continuous wave operation having a wavelength of approximately 1275 nm and a power output level in the range of from one (1) Watt up to and including 75 Watts on an inflamed area that is to be treated, such that the laser beam penetrates the inflamed area in the range of from 0.1 cm to 30 cm. In addition, the laser beam from the laser unit can be configured to activate intracellular photoreceptors, thereby initiating a cascade of secondary cellular metabolic effects and normalizing cellular activity towards homeostasis.

Abstract: A two-stage atomizer having a primary heating element and a secondary heating element. The primary heating element heats a fluid to generate an aerosol with a given average particle size. The secondary heating element reheats the aerosol from the first heating element to produce a final aerosol having a reduced average particle size. The two-stage atomizer is configured to operate with an electronic vaporizer device having a power source and control electronics.

Abstract: Provided are a system and method of reproducing individual puffs based on empirical data collected by a plurality of electronic vaping devices during use of the vaping devices by users to inhale vapors. The method involves receiving, over a communication network for each of the plurality of electronic vaping devices: (i) reservoir information indicative of a configuration of a reservoir storing a liquid that is at least partially converted into the vapor, and (ii) a plurality of operational parameters for each of a plurality of puffs drawn by the users. The operational parameters include a first operational parameter measured by a sensor system provided to the respective electronic vaping device. An evaluation vaping device is controlled to reproduce a puff by generating a vapor based on the received reservoir information and the received plurality of operational parameters in effect during the puff that is being reproduced.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes a hand piece featuring a laser device which is used in the irradiation of damaged cells to stimulate photoreceptors within a cell, initiating a cascade of intracellular metabolic reactions that move the cell toward homeostasis. As the cell approaches homeostasis there occur a number of secondary effects of photo stimulation which contribute to homeostatic cellular metabolism of adjacent cells. Concurrent photo stimulation of the maximal three dimensional volume of cells along with the secondary effects of the cellular metabolic homeostasis achieved in these cells results in a resolution of metabolic deficits within cells far in excess of the effects of direct photo stimulation. The current invention offers an effective method of irradiation of large numbers of cells with safe levels of optical energy to initiate the intracellular cascade toward homeostasis and the production of secondary effects contributing to homeostasis of adjacent or distant cells.

The lever may be spring biased against the insert and may also be dynamically activated by rotation of the toolholder. Additionally, the lever may be on the form of a cam. A method is described of securing a cutting insert within the pocket using the lever.
