  • Publication number: 20250049114
    Abstract: An e-cigarette with dual cartridges is disclosed, which includes a host and two cartridges. The host is provided with two mounting grooves. The two cartridges are arranged corresponding to the mounting grooves respectively, and each of the cartridges is pluggably arranged in a respective one of the mounting grooves. The e-cigarette with dual cartridges according to the application has at least the following beneficial effects. Firstly, by arranging the two cartridges in which e-liquids with different flavors can be stored, a user can take mixed smoke of two flavors at the same time, or take smoke of flavors of the two cartridges independently, so that one e-cigarette with dual cartridges can have three flavors. Secondly, the cartridge is pluggably arranged in the mounting groove, so as to facilitate replacing the cartridge, thus reusing the host, and being convenient for the user to change flavor.

  • Publication number: 20240352267
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a screen printing formulation a method of processing a heat transfer with the screen printing formulation for use in garment industry. The raw materials of the screen printing formulation are derived from renewable plant-based resources. It can be printed and cured by adopting current heat transfer processing technology with comparably short curing time of 0.5 hour. The cured screen printing formulation contains bio-based content as high as 93% with strength and elasticity comparable with typical TPU counterparts. The bio-based heat transfer can perform comparable performance comparing with fossil-based polyurethane and silicone heat transfer. Moreover, when applying the bio-based heat transfer on garments or fabrics, it is able to adhere firmly without peel off, cracking, shrinkage, wrinkle and color migration even after repeated laundry wash and dry, fulfilling quality standard tests of garment industry.

  • Patent number: 12073437
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for managing user identification codes in an interne advertising environment. One aspect implements a system including a database engine to store a plurality of signals comprising characteristics and/or values received from a user device. A user ID generator calculates collision statistics and/or fragmentation statistics to form a first mapping function that is in turn used to generate a plurality of identification codes based at least in part a first set of selected signals. A calibration module produces measurements determined from collision quantities and/or fragmentation quantities using the first mapping function, wherein the measurements are determined by comparing the plurality of identification codes to entries in a known ID database. A sequencing module generates updated sequences of mapping functions.

  • Publication number: 20240225963
    Abstract: An inedible and dry dormant state encapsulated probiotic core-shell particle for external, non-mucosal skin application is provided. From inside out, the core-shell particle has a structure of a carrier particle core serving as a nutrient source for probiotics, a first layer including a dormant probiotic species for affecting epidermal biome and at least one prebiotic as a food source for the probiotic, a polymer layer positioned over the first layer, and a dissolvable protective layer for protecting the probiotic core-shell particle from oxidation, heat and humidity. By co-applying with a releasing medium, the dissolvable protective layer and the polymer layer are dissolved to expose the dormant probiotic containing layer, the first layer. Further, the releasing medium also is able to activate and reconstitute the dormant probiotic to a live probiotic on the applied non-mucosal epidermal surface.
