  • Patent number: 12156966
    Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering formulations to users using modular device having atomizer and wick assembly are disclosed. A formulation delivery system that includes a mouthpiece with a first attaching structure at one end and a removable cartridge with a second attaching structure that connects to the mouthpiece. The removable cartridge houses an atomizer at its first end and features a wick assembly with a removable cap and a wick made from an absorbent material. The wick, which transports fluid to the atomizer, is connected at one end to the removable cap and at the other end abuts the atomizer. The system also includes a channel within the removable cartridge; this channel extends to the cartridge's first end and houses the wick, while the removable cap is located outside the channel. Additionally, the system incorporates electronics that maintain a removable electrical connection with the cartridge.

  • Patent number: 11978162
    Abstract: Systems and methods applicable, for instance, to using continuous levels of detail (CLODs) in connection with computer graphic models. Distinct levels of detail (LODs) can be generated, floating point LOD (fLOD) values can be calculated, and interpolated LODs can be generated. Further, LOD display can occur.
