A moisture-regulating element for use in packaging is claimed, which comprises a layer of pulp fibres and optionally further layers, characterized in that the element contains means which are able to regulate the moisture content.

The moisture-regulating element may be used in packaging for the transport and other storage of moisture-sensitive products or can serve as such, in order to store these products under optimal moisture conditions.

There is provided a cartridge for use in an aerosol-generating system, the aerosol-generating system including an aerosol-generating device, the cartridge configured to be used with the device, wherein the device includes a device housing, an inductor coil positioned on or within the housing, and a power supply connected to the inductor coil and configured to provide a high frequency oscillating current to the inductor coil, the cartridge including a cartridge housing containing an aerosol-forming substrate and a ferrite mesh susceptor element positioned to heat the aerosol-forming substrate.

Methods, systems, and devices for humidifying are described herein. One method includes determining a temperature in a space associated with a humidifying unit, determining a relative humidity in the space, determining an air speed associated with the humidifying unit, and adjusting an amount of water sprayed by the humidifying unit based, at least in part, on the temperature, the relative humidity, and the air speed.

When a humidity condition, including a humidity detected by a temperature and humidity sensor and a humidification load sensing unit falling below a threshold value, is met, an outside air conditioner supplies the heated and humidified air into the room. When the humidity condition is met during the indoor heating operation, the indoor heating operation is stopped or weakened. When the humidity condition is met, only the outside air conditioner is subjected to a heating and humidifying operation. Since the indoor air is not heated by the inside air conditioner more than necessary, when a heating load is low and a humidification load is present, a “conflicting state” can be prevented in which the inside air conditioner is subjected to a cooling and dehumidifying operation and the outside air conditioner is subjected to the heating and humidifying operation.

An environmental control device including: a base housing; a topper configured to be attachable and detachable from the base housing; one or more environmental systems; and one or more environmental sensors, wherein the topper is shaped as a figurine.

The air processing device is provided with a processing unit that determines the state of a predetermined part(s) in a casing on the basis of the change in a plurality of image data acquired by an imaging unit.

An ultrasonic humidifier includes a tank having a water level and a floater having a tubular structure with a bottom rim and a top rim. The tubular structure has a frusto-conical shape and is vertically and co-axially disposed within the floater. The tubular structure having a widest diameter end disposed on the bottom rim and a narrower diameter end disposed at the top rim. This humidifier also has an air-supply arrangement that eliminates water damage to the fan during spillage.

Certain embodiments may provide a method for controlling a desalination system. The method may include performing a desalination procedure with salt-water in a desalination compartment of the desalination system. The method may also include extracting brine and freshwater from the desalination procedure. The method may further include directing the brine to a brine treatment compartment of the desalination system, and the freshwater to a firewater container. In addition, the method may include performing a brine treatment procedure in the brine treatment compartment. Further, the method may include collecting concentrated brine from the brine treatment compartment.
