Abstract: A laser crafting apparatus for directing electromagnetic radiation toward a workpiece may include various features. For example, the laser crafting apparatus may include a material support tray that is removably supported within an internal volume of the laser crafting apparatus. Further, the apparatus may include pre-filter disposed in a ventilation pathway between a workspace region of the internal volume and an extractor fan. The laser crafting apparatus may include a laser carriage assembly that houses a laser module and the assembly may include a lens tray detachably coupled to the support structure of the laser carriage assembly. In various embodiments, the laser crafting apparatus includes a lid having a radiation attenuation layer and a fire suppression layer.

Abstract: A non-combustible aerosol provision device for generating an aerosol from an aerosol-generating material is provided. The device includes a chamber for receiving a consumable including aerosol-generating material to enable the non-combustible aerosol provision device to generate an aerosol from the aerosol-generating material. The device further includes an adjustment mechanism to allow a user to adjust a dimension of the chamber to allow the chamber to accommodate, one at a time, each of a plurality of consumables having different sizes.

Abstract: There is disclosed an integrated project management and risk management system. A risk processor has access to a project data store containing a plurality of inter-related project actions used for project management purposes, and a risk data store which contains a plurality of inter-related project activities and associated risk indicators used for related risk management purposes. The risk processor is operable to generate and write to the risk data store changes to the project activities and risk indicators reflecting changes in the project actions, to generate or receive mitigating activities identified to reduce or prevent a risk or the consequences of a risk associated with a project activity and to write corresponding project action changes to the project data store.
