Abstract: Electronically controlled scent producer includes: a body, having plurality of chambers and actuators, each chamber receiving a respective scent essence, each actuator respective of a chamber and having actuator port, a first motor and second motor, and a local control unit, responsive of scent emission instructions configured to selectively activate second motor to displace body, to align a selected actuator port of an actuator respective of the selected chamber with a nozzle of a housing, and to selectively activate first motor to induce emission of the scent essence contained in selected chamber through selected actuator port, so as to produce a scent emission directed to external environment through nozzle.

Abstract: A safety syringe system that automatically shields a needle after an injection. A plunger extends into a barrel. An elastic return construct is provided that has at least one stretchable arm. The elastic return construct engages the barrel and positions each stretchable arm along the exterior of the barrel. A safety shield is provided that slides over a first end of the barrel. In a first position, the needle is protected by the safety shield. In a second position, the needle is exposed. The safety shield engages and stretches the elastic return construct when moved from the first position to the second position. A locking mechanism is used to lock the safety shield into its second position. The locking mechanism is released by elements displaced by movement of the plunger.

Abstract: At least one example embodiment discloses an article carrier for an electrical vaping device. The article carrier may include a base portion, a lid portion and a hinge. The base portion may include a first edge region and the lid portion includes a second edge region. The hinge may include a connector band and first and second anchors. The connector band connects the first edge region of the base portion to the second edge region of the lid portion and may include a recessed top portion and a relieved lower portion. The recessed top portion may include a recess. And the relieved lower portion may include a relief for receiving the first and second edge regions.
