Abstract: A reservoir assembly that holds a nicotine pre-vapor formulation in a reservoir includes a reservoir assembly connector assembly defining a connector conduit, and which may be configured to detachably couple with a nicotine vaporizer assembly based on a connector element of the nicotine vaporizer assembly engaging with the connector conduit of the connector conduit. The reservoir assembly may include an isolation structure configured to move in relation to both the reservoir and the nicotine vaporizer connector assembly between a first position where the isolation structure exposes the nicotine vaporizer assembly to the reservoir and at least partially obstructs the connector conduit to restrict the connector element from disengaging from the connector conduit, and a second position where the isolation structure isolates the nicotine vaporizer assembly from the reservoir and opens the connector conduit to enable the connector element to disengage from the connector conduit.

Abstract: This invention relates to nearshore solutions comprising: a plurality of bottom sitting infrastructure modules defining a boundary of the nearshore solution, and forming a lagoon: each of the plurality of bottom sitting infrastructure modules is adapted to transfer loads of the bottom sitting infrastructure modules to a seabed and withstand surrounding water pressure. The nearshore solutions further comprise general purpose modules which can be either bottom sitting or floating as well as the floating infrastructure modules are arranged within the boundary or seawall. Floating infrastructure module is designed to allow lighter infrastructure services, and for transport network such as vehicles to travel through or park connectors. General purpose modules are designed for live, work, play; to accommodate residential, office and recreational facilities, etc.

Abstract: A security alarm management system and method includes a reader device, a person counter, and an alarm. The reader device reads security tags within a range of the reader. The person counter detects people passing through a point of entry. The person counter can determine a direction of travel of people passing through the point of entry. A white-list includes entries or product identifiers that will not trigger an alarm. The alarm is triggered if conditions associated with the reader device, person counter, and white-list are met.

Abstract: At least one embodiment of the invention relates to a centrifugal/cyclone separator which separates particles, liquid droplets and or condensing mists (water based and or hydrocarbon based nature) from gases without using a filter element. The design relies on the use of the inlet spiral tube, a first conical fin and the second conical fin, and the step on the cylindrical body and the extension of the vortex finder below second conical fin. With another embodiment, the design differs in that it relies on the insert with threaded or open area forming a flow path like spiral tube, while relying on the same or similar components as with the first embodiment listed above.

Abstract: A hand-held control device includes a housing including first and second housing pieces and a touch pad attached to an exterior surface of the first housing piece. The second housing piece defines a coupler well containing an electrical header. A speaker retention structure on an interior surface of the second housing piece includes an annular wall extending from an interior surface of the first housing piece and including a plurality of gaps at spaced intervals, and a resilient speaker retention finger extending from the interior surface of the first housing piece in each of the gaps. A cable connector assembly includes a coupler containing a socket, and a control cable electrically connected to the socket within the coupler. The coupler is sized and shaped to fill a coupler well in the housing so that the socket is connectable to the electrical header in the coupler well.
