Abstract: There is provided an electronically controlled, breath actuated vaporization device for generating vaporized material for inhalation by a user. The vaporization device includes a vaporization chamber for accommodating material to be vaporized and a mesh heater or other heater supported upstream of the vaporization chamber which is operable to heat air that passes through the mesh heater or other heater during an inhalation event. A closed loop control scheme may be employed to control heat generated by the heater to maintain a temperature of the air delivered to the vaporization chamber at or within a predetermined tolerance of a desired vaporization temperature for at least a majority of a duration of the inhalation event.

Abstract: In some examples, a control unit is configured to adjust charge termination voltage of a rechargeable energy storage device. The control unit is adapted to charge the rechargeable energy storage device to a charge termination voltage where the rechargeable energy storage device has capacity to support peak load but comes close to a system shutdown voltage after supporting peak load. The control unit is also adapted to increase the charge termination voltage if a voltage of the rechargeable energy storage device is near a system shutdown voltage after supporting peak load.

Abstract: Disclosed is an antenna device, antenna system, and methods to create, and install or modify, an antenna profile for an antenna device so as to direct remotely the propagation of radio frequency signal from the antenna device to targeted radio frequency geographic coverage areas. Ports may be selected to activate spatial segments created by the configuration of the reflectors, joined about a cylindrical core, which may be quadrants when the reflectors are configured into a cross-like shape. The system provides aid in orienting an antenna, upon installation, to a pre-designated geographic heading. Optionally, the tilt of each quadrant of an antenna device may be determined so as to ensure proper radio frequency coverage.

Abstract: It can be difficult to remove atomically thin films, such as graphene, graphene-based material and other two-dimensional materials, from a growth substrate and then to transfer the thin films to a secondary substrate. Tearing and conformality issues can arise during the removal and transfer processes. Processes for forming a composite structure by manipulating a two-dimensional material, such as graphene or graphene-base material, can include: providing a two-dimensional material adhered to a growth substrate; depositing a supporting layer on the two-dimensional material while the two-dimensional material is adhered to the growth substrate; and releasing the two-dimensional material from the growth substrate, the two-dimensional material remaining in contact with the supporting layer following release of the two-dimensional material from the growth substrate.
