Abstract: The present invention provides a conductive substrate useful for Joule heating, such as in an electronic smoking article. Particularly, the invention provides a resistive heating element formed of a conductive substrate. The conductive substrate comprises an electrically conductive material and a carbonaceous additive, such as a binder material. The conductive substrate is carbonized in that it is subjected to calcining conditions to effectively reduce the carbonaceous additive to its carbon skeleton. It has been found that such carbonized substrate has surprisingly improved resistance properties in relation a substrate of the same formulation that is not carbonized. The carbonized substrate can include an aerosol precursor material. The formed resistive heating element can be included in an electronic smoking article to simultaneously provide resistive heating and aerosol formation with a single, unitary component.

Abstract: A process for forming stabilizing paraformaldehyde can include heating a formaldehyde solution comprising 30 wt % or more formaldehyde to a temperature ranging from about 70° C. to about 130° C.; aging the formaldehyde solution for a sufficient amount of time to polymerize the formaldehyde and form paraformaldehyde; solidifying the paraformaldehyde; and contacting the formaldehyde solution before and/or during heating, the formaldehyde solution during aging, the paraformaldehyde, and/or the solidified paraformaldehyde with an ammonia and/or ammonia hydroxide stabilizer.

Abstract: A portable water sports environment is provided. The environment includes a mat positioned on a liner. The front end of the liner may be positioned proximate to a body of water. The back end of the liner may be positioned distally to the body of water. A spray nozzle positioned along a front end of the liner may spray water from the body of water onto the mat and toward the back end of the liner. The environment may a ballast positioned on the top surface of the liner and spaced from the mat. The mat, the top surface of the liner, and the ballast may define a trench that extends away from the back end of the liner and toward the front end of the liner. The trench may guide water received from the spray nozzle toward the front end of the liner and into the body of water.

Abstract: Example filters are disclosed herein. In an example, the filter includes a housing including a central axis, an inlet, and an outlet. The central axis extends perpendicularly to a fluid flow direction at the outlet. In addition, the filter includes an outlet flow path defined within the housing that extends angularly about the central axis to the outlet. Further, the filter includes a first plurality of vanes extending from a radially outer surface of the outlet flow path.

Abstract: An entity tracking system and method for a computer network employs proactive data collection and enrichment driven by configurable rules and workflows responsive to the discovery of new entities, changes to existing entities, and specifics about the entities' attributes. The data collection is used in conjunction with graph technologies to map interactions and relationships between various entities interacting in the computer environment and deduce interactions and relationships between the entities. Machine learning techniques further identify, group or categorize entities and identify patterns which are indicative of anomalies that might be due to nefarious actions or compromised security.

Abstract: Certain splice arrangements include first and second laminate structures bonded around a splice location at which two or more optical fibers are spliced (e.g., fusion spliced) together. The first and second laminate structures each include a flexible polymeric sheet and a heat activated adhesive layer carried by the flexible polymeric sheet. Other splice arrangements include a protective barrier disposed about an optical splice. The protective barrier includes first and second protective layers bonded around the optical splice. Each protective layer include a film carrying an adhesive. The protective barrier may be sufficiently flexible to not restrict flexing the optical fibers at the splice location. Example splice arrangements have thicknesses of less than or equal to 1000 microns, or 900 microns, or 800 microns, or 700 microns, or 600 microns or 500 microns.
