Abstract: A non-combustible cigarette based on flocking technology and a manufacturing method of the cigarette are disclosed. The cigarette includes a cigarette paper layer, which is a hollow cylindrical structure. The inner wall of the cigarette paper layer is provided with an adhesive layer, and tobacco filler granules, tobacco filler filaments or tobacco filler fibers are fixedly bonded on the adhesive layer. The manufacturing method includes a flocking process and a cigarette-rolling process. The process automatically flocks filamentous, fibrous or granular tobacco to the surface of the cigarette paper, and then connects to the cigarette-rolling process to obtain the non-combustible cigarette. When the cigarette is filled with the tobacco filler granules, the complex process of using a plugging device at the open end of the cigarette is eliminated.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to non-invasively determining coronary circulation parameters during a rest state and a hyperemic state for a patient. The blood flow in the coronary arteries during a hyperemic state provides a functional assessment of the patient's coronary vessel tree. Imaging techniques are used to obtain an anatomical model of the patient's coronary tree. Rest boundary conditions are computed based on non-invasive measurements taken at a rest state, and estimated hyperemic boundary conditions are computed. A feedback control system performs a simulation matching the rest state utilizing a model based on the anatomical model and a plurality of controllers, each controller relating to respective output variables of the coronary tree. The model parameters are adjusted for the output variables to be in agreement with the rest state measurements, and the hyperemic boundary conditions are accordingly adjusted.
