Abstract: A system for forming a product with different size particles is disclosed. The system comprises at least one print head region configured to retain a first group of print heads configurable to additively print at least a first portion of the product with a first material and a second group of print heads configurable to additively print at least a second portion of the product with a second material. The described system may also comprise a processor configured to regulate the first group of print heads and the second group of print heads to distribute the first material and the second material. A method of making an object by ink jet printing using the disclosed system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A portable hand holdable electric cigarette lighter conveniently locatable on top of furniture or a shelf, plugged into an electrical outlet, stored and/or moved, ready for immediate and routine use. The lighter includes an electrical resistance heating element contactable by a cigarette and connected to an electromechanical circuit supplied electrical power from an externally located alternating current, or from a built-in internally located direct current, power supply, and includes a portable hand holdable housing. The electromechanical circuit is connected to the heating element and connectable to ac power of 110 or 220 volts, and includes a step-down voltage transformer for providing voltage of 0.5-25 volts to the heating element, or, the electromechanical circuit is connected to the heating element and to dc power being batteries or an electromagnetic generator.
