An end of the cartridge is provided with a drip tip for air outflow, and the other end of the cartridge is provided with an electrode. A bottom of the cartridge has an air inlet. The main body includes a circuit board. A pneumatic switch is provided at an upper end of the main body fitting with the air inlet. The electrode contacts the circuit board for electric conduction when the cartridge is assembled with the main body. The pneumatic switch is turned on when an inhaling operation is performed, and the pneumatic switch is turned off when the inhaling operation is completed.

Abstract: An immobilized selenium body, made from carbon and selenium and optionally sulfur, makes selenium more stable, requiring a higher temperature or an increase in kinetic energy for selenium to escape from the immobilized selenium body and enter a gas system, as compared to selenium alone. Immobilized selenium localized in a carbon skeleton can be utilized in a rechargeable battery. Immobilization of the selenium can impart compression stress on both the carbon skeleton and the selenium. Such compression stress enhances the electrical conductivity in the carbon skeleton and among the selenium particles and creates an interface for electrons to be delivered and or harvested in use of the battery. A rechargeable battery made from immobilized selenium can be charged or discharged at a faster rate over conventional batteries and can demonstrate excellent cycling stability.

Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to reducing signaling for DoNAS (Data over Non-Access Stratum) via SGi. In one embodiment, there proposes a method (400) in a mobility management node (203), comprising: establishing (S401) an S11-U connection between the mobility management node (203) and a gateway node (204); monitoring (S402) the frequency of data transferring request for a wireless device (201); and deciding (S404) whether or not to release the S11-U connection based on the frequency of data transferring request. With the embodiments herein, the signaling between the mobility management node and the gateway node can be significantly reduced, without introducing extra signaling or message to the existing network.
