Abstract: The invention relates to a smoking article having a cylindrical shape with a longitudinal axis running through respective base areas of a distal end and a mouth end of the smoking article. The smoking article segments are at least in part wrapped in a circumferential wrapper and arranged subsequently in from the distal to the mouth end as follows: a. a tobacco segment comprising tobacco or tobacco derived smokable material, b. a cooling segment having a first flow path from the tobacco segment to a filter segment, c. the filter segment comprising a second flow path from the cooling segment to the mouth end. The filter segment comprises a tobacco product including tobacco particles having an average particle size of 30 ?m and a dispersion medium for dispersing the tobacco particles. The invention also comprises a method for manufacturing such a smoking article.

Abstract: A smoking article includes a filter section including a filter material and at least one capsule including a shell. The capsule includes a liquid contained by the shell in the capsule, which further includes at least one carrier fluid and/or at least one flavored fluid arranged inside the crushable shell. The filter section includes a tobacco product, wherein the tobacco product includes tobacco particles with an average size of 30 ?m or less. The tobacco product is arranged inside the filter material, in a plug wrap, in at least one wrapping and/or inside the capsule. A filter section including the tobacco product and a method of manufacturing a smoking article with such a filter section are also provided.

Abstract: A smoking article includes a cylindrical shape with a longitudinal axis running through respective base areas of a distal end and a mouth end of the smoking article, wherein the smoking article includes the following segments, which are arranged subsequently in the following order from the distal to the mouth end, and are at least in part wrapped in a circumferential wrapper: a tobacco segment including tobacco or tobacco derived smokable material, a cooling segment including a cylindrically shaped cooler material having a first flow path from the tobacco segment to a filter segment, the filter segment including a second flow path from the cooling segment to the mouth end. A surface of the cooler material is at least in part coated with a tobacco product including tobacco particles having an average particle size of 30 ?m and a dispersion medium for dispersing the tobacco particles.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a reconstituted tobacco binder (RTB) sheet, including a raw tobacco material and a binding agent, includes the raw tobacco material positioned on a conveyer belt, which moves in a forward direction. The raw tobacco material is formed by at least one forming head to a raw tobacco material layer, wherein the binding agent is subsequently applied on the raw tobacco material layer and then dried in a drying process, thereby creating the RTB sheet. A tobacco product including tobacco particles and a liquid medium is applied on the raw tobacco material layer and/or the RTB sheet during the manufacturing, wherein the tobacco particles have an average particle size of 30 µm or less.

Abstract: A white snus with sachet material, preferably a pouch, which is not moisturized during the manufacturing process, includes a filler material, a nicotine source and flavorings, wherein the flavorings include tobacco particles having a size (sD50 laser diffraction)?30 ?m adhered on an inert carrier. A method for manufacturing a white snus includes the steps of providing filler material, providing a nicotine source, providing tobacco particles having a size (sD50 laser diffraction)?30 ?m adhered on a carrier, providing further flavorings, optionally providing further ingredients and mechanically mixing the ingredients. The carrier is inert with respect to the surrounding environment, wherein the carrier itself remains chemically unchanged when contacted by other components of the snus, wherein the nicotine source does not contain tobacco.

Abstract: Present invention relate to an aerosol-generating material and an aerosol-generating article, comprising a mixed arrangement of randomly-oriented fibres and an aerosol-generating substrate in a semi-solid state such as a foam or a paste. Present invention also relates to a manufacturing method of producing the aerosol-generating material and the aerosol-generating article.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aerosol-generating article comprising a disposable shaped cartridge and a foamed aerosol-generating material provided in the cartridge, wherein the disposable shaped cartridge comprises a base, a top, an internal wall and an external wall, wherein the base and the top of the cartridge are connected to the internal wall and the external wall, wherein the internal wall is provided to form one or more longitudinal channels void of and extending through the foamed aerosol-generating material.

Abstract: Provided is a system that transmits a notification to a user electronic equipment associated with a user, based on a user location information. This notification includes information representative of a sound-based promotional campaign for a product at a location known by the user. The system also transmits a location-specific promotional information, associated with this sound-based promotional campaign and based on a user information, to a merchant electronic apparatus associated to this known location.

Abstract: Provided is a system that controls at least one sound signal output device to emit at least one sound signal in at least one chosen area of a premises. This sound signal represents location-specific usage information of at least one electronic device and is intended to induce a control of a usage of this electronic device based on this location-specific usage information.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for providing input to a workflow application. Source documents are received that have respective original signatures but no digital signatures. The source documents can be paper documents, or they can be scanned representations of paper documents. Proxy digital signatures are applied to digital representations of the source documents. The proxy digital signatures are differentiated in that they are annotated with metadata indicating the quality of the respective original signatures.
