  • Publication number: 20190191693
    Abstract: Container system and method for freezing (and subsequently thawing) a liquid such as a drug substance, such that all containers in a set have a uniform width, hence uniform freeze-path length, in the widthwise direction and perpendicular to major walls of the containers, irrespective of the particular length, height, and volumetric capacity of the various containers in the set. This leads to uniform freezing performance and thereby reduces cryoconcentration. The system also eliminates or reduces ice-bridging, and the potential for containers rupturing during freezing and thawing operations.

  • Publication number: 20170231280
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to electronic inhalation devices, namely electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices with superior performance and user control over device variables. In some instances, the present device is configured to properly interpret the attached atomizer's electrical resistance and subsequently calibrate the proper electrical output. This prevents the device from overheating the coil and producing temperatures that will degrade the expected liquids. Further, the user may be able to input a code for the corresponding “flash points” of the intended liquid to determine the optimum output for both delivery of compounds formulated and also for the proper temperature range of the device. In other embodiments, the device is configured to interface with an electronic device such as a smart phone.
