Abstract: A vaporizer cartridge for an inhaler has a hollow body with a continuous flow channel and liquid storage tank. The tank has an access opening to the channel and a vaporizer unit extending over the entire access opening. The vaporizer unit has a wick member and a heating member. The vaporizer unit is liquid-permeable such that liquid is conveyed at least initially in a capillary manner from the storage tank through the vaporizer unit in the direction of the flow channel. The wick member is formed from a plurality of granular grains which, as a result of their fill and/or formation, form microchannels which establish a fluid connection between the storage tank and the flow channel, continuously from an entry side to an exit side of the wick member. An additional securing means is provided which is holds the granular wick member in position. A corresponding inhaler is also provided.

A coating system for preparing multi-layered finishes includes a base coating component and a clear coating component comprising effects particles. An additional coating system for preparing multi-layered finishes includes a base coating component, a printed coating component, and a clear coating component.

Abstract: Described herein are levelled and degreased aluminum alloys with a reduced gauge for can body stock production. The aluminum alloys exhibit improved formability. Also described herein are methods for processing the aluminum alloys to produce beverage can bodies. The aluminum alloys and sheets described herein are suitable for manufacturing cups and beverage can bodies at high production rates.

Abstract: A measuring device for non-mechanical-contact measurement of a layer, the measuring device including a light source operative to generate a pulse adapted to interact with the layer so as to generate a thermal wave in a gas medium present adjacent the layer. The thermal wave causes an acoustic signal to be generated. The measuring device further includes a detector adapted to detect a first signal responsive to the acoustic signal, the detector not being in mechanical contact with the layer. The first signal is representative of the measured layer.

Abstract: A wastewater treatment arrangement for efficiently cleaning variously polluted partial streams of wastewater, in particular of industrial effluents, includes the following components: an electrodialysis unit; an accidental-damage reservoir, a buffer tank, wherein the buffer tank is designed such that it can be reached by partial streams of some of the wastewater indirectly by way of the electrodialysis unit and/or directly, and wherein the buffer tank is designed such that it can be reached by the partial streams of wastewater indirectly by way of the accidental-damage reservoir and/or directly, and wherein downstream of the buffer tank, a first flotation tank, an anaerobic reactor and an SBR unit are arranged in series before the outflow.
