Provided is a smoke machine that comprises a heating element disposed within a chamber wherein smoke is created. The chamber may contain a liquid reservoir containing a liquid that creates visible smoke when heated, e.g. to the point of vaporization, evaporation and/or condensation. A liquid transfer device transfers the liquid from the reservoir towards the heating element. The liquid transfer device may be provided around the periphery of the heating element, e.g. by being wrapped or coiled around it, of by having the heating element inserted in it. It may be tied in place or fastened by a fastener. It may be held by friction fit provided by a friction allowing wicking but providing substantially complete coverage of the heating element or part thereof. Also provided is a smoke machine that comprises a pressure controller.

The present invention relates to a system and method for collecting, by a single server, an overall situation of theaters operating in various areas nationwide or all over the world, for example, state information, maintenance and repair information about each theater, and theater information of screening-related devices and for enabling a user to control a plurality of theaters using such pieces of information. To this end, the present invention includes a theater server included in each theater and a control server configured to receive a variety of pieces of information from the theater server and process the information.

A wind direction indicator for hunters includes a smoke generator, a housing, an electrical power source, an air pump and a switch all arranged such that the indicator may be actuated by a hunter using a single hand. The smoke generator may be a cartomizer as an example.

A battery-operated fog generator with instantaneous heating is described, comprising a support and containment structure (1) containing: at least one power supply battery (3); at least one container (5) of fog fluid; at least one pump (11) designed to pump the fog fluid out of the container (5); at least one electronic board (9) for controlling, feeding and heating the generator components; and at least one hermetic or non-hermetic thermal insulation device (7) designed to contain and isolate at least one heat exchanger (12) inside which the fog fluid passes before its firing outside the generator.

A rain and fog testing apparatus, comprising a fluid channel that runs between a first fluid shutoff coupler and a second fluid shutoff coupler and has at least one dispersion head fluidly coupled to the fluid channel. A liquid pump can be fluidly coupled to the fluid channel at an output end. A liquid heater may also be fluidly coupled to the system along with a controller that provides electrical control of the first fluid shutoff coupler, the second fluid shutoff coupler, the dispersion head, the liquid pump, and the heater. Further, the second fluid shutoff coupler is capable of fluidly coupling a first fluid channel to a plurality of fluid channels and the controller can adjust the orientation of the first fluid shutoff coupler, the second fluid shutoff coupler, the dispersion head, the liquid pump, and the liquid heater to create a simulation of a plurality of rain or fog events.

A haze generating device for generating aerosol from a liquid includes at least one chamber in which the aerosol is generated. Each chamber includes a housing including a bottom and a side wall extending from the bottom to a top of the chamber, an ultrasonic transducer at the bottom, and a filter element at the top. The chamber is at least partially filled with a liquid to a filling level such that at least an ultrasound emitting surface of the ultrasonic transducer is immersed in the liquid. The chamber has a directed gas inlet at the side wall that directs a gas stream introduced into the chamber in a direction substantially parallel to a surface of the liquid and substantially along the side wall. The filter element includes guide surfaces that direct the gas stream out of the chamber in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the liquid.

The present invention relates to systems and methods of delivering fluid from one or more armrests of seat systems. In a feature, the system includes a seat support assembly with armrests with one or more fluid nozzles mounted on one or more of the armrests, a fluid delivery system coupled to the one or more fluid nozzle(s), wherein the fluid nozzles are mounted on an end of the armrest that slopes upward to direct fluid toward the viewer. In another feature, the system includes a seat support assembly with air outlet(s) on an armrest coupled to a fan, which reduces the load on the fluid delivery system. In another feature, the system includes a controller (e.g., a network server) configured to communicate on and off commands that correspond to events on a timeline of a movie to actuate the fluid delivery system to deliver fluids to the outlets.

A prompting device for prompting state information of a physical game character includes a smog machine and a control circuit. The smog machine include a smog chamber, a heating element, and an air-blowing device. The smog chamber has a receiving cavity for receiving smog fluid, an inlet, and an outlet. The inlet and the outlet are in communication with the receiving cavity. The heating element is mourned within the receiving cavity and generates heat to vaporize the smog fluid after an electric current is applied. The air-blowing device is disposed corresponding to the outlet for blowing art air flow towards the receiving cavity. The air flow generated by the air-blowing device enters into the receiving cavity from the inlet and discharges smog within the receiving cavity from outlet. The control circuit is configured to control the smog machine to generate the smog that characterizes the state information.

An electronic interactive chanting and praying system device includes a substrate, a voice input device installed to the substrate for receiving a voice message, a control processing device installed to the substrate and coupled to the voice input device for receiving the voice message and conducting a voice recognition processing to selectively generate a light source control instruction and a sound source control instruction, a light emitting device installed to the substrate and coupled to the control processing device for executing a light emitting mode according to the light source control instruction, and a speaker installed to the substrate and coupled to the control processing device for playing a piece of religious voice information according to the sound source control instruction.
