The heating wires are disposed inside the atomization assembly. The cigarette holder assembly is connected to the fixing seat assembly in the manner of plugging. The glass housing is connected to a middle support via a fixing jaw. The atomization assembly is assembled with the gas flow control assembly using screw threads to form an integrated structure, and the integrated structure of the atomization assembly and the gas flow control assembly is then assembled with the fixing seat assembly.

An actively heated or cooled portable container is provided. The container has a portable body with a receiving portion defined by an inner wall that receives a liquid. A heating and cooling system housed in the portable body has a cooling element in thermal communication with at least a portion of the inner wall to remove heat from the liquid. The heating and cooling system also has a heating element in thermal communication with at least a portion of the inner wall, control circuitry to control the operation of the heating element and one or more power storage elements to provide electrical energy to the heating element and/or control circuitry. The control circuitry controls the heating element to add heat to the liquid in the receiving portion to maintain the temperature of the liquid at a predetermined temperature or increase the temperature of the liquid above said predetermined temperature. Optionally, the control circuitry can calculate a volume of the liquid in the receiving portion of the portable body based on sensed information indicative of a temperature of the liquid in the receiving portion.

The disclosure relates to an electronic cigarette atomizer with a convenient-to-mount heating wire, which includes an oil storage atomization main body, a suction nozzle and a base. The base is provided with the heating wire and a heating wire fixing seat. More than two mounting holes are formed in an outer lateral surface of the heating wire fixing seat, more than two clamping blocks capable of moving up and down are arranged therein, and the clamping blocks are connected with the mounting holes in a one-to-one correspondence manner. Two ends of the heating wire are inserted into the mounting holes in the one-to-one correspondence manner, and are clamped and fixed under action of the clamping blocks. The electronic cigarette atomizer is simple and ingenious in structure, easy to product and machine and favorable for batch production.

Described herein is a heater for space equipment that includes a heat pipe. The heater also includes a first layer applied to the heat pipe. The first layer may be made from an electrically non-conductive material. The heater additionally includes a resistance heater printed onto the first layer after the first layer is applied to the heat pipe. The heater includes a second layer adjacent the resistance heater. The resistance heater may be positioned between the first layer and the second layer, and the second layer may be made from an electrically non-conductive material.

A light emitter device contains a heater structure configured to emit light if a predefined current flows through the heater structure. The heater structure is arranged at a heater carrier structure. The light emitter device contains an upper portion of a cavity located vertically between the heater carrier structure and a cover structure. The light emitter device contains a lower portion of the cavity located vertically between the heater carrier structure and at least a portion of a carrier substrate. The heater carrier structure contains a plurality of holes connecting the upper portion of the cavity and the lower portion of the cavity. A pressure within the cavity is less than 100 mbar.

The present disclosure relates to a device for activating thermochromatic ink. The device may include a drawing tip, a heating element, which may include a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heating element, communicably coupled to the drawing tip and configure to heat the drawing tip, and a power source configured to provide power to the heating element. The power source may be a lithium-ion battery. The battery may be rechargeable, and the device may have a charging port to recharge the battery from a power source coupled to the charging port. The device may have a regulator for regulating power from the power source to the heating element. The device may have a controller for directing power from the power source to the heating element. Further the heating element may be configured to heat the drawing tip to a temperature between 30-70 degrees Celsius.

According to at least one example embodiment, a controller for an e-vaping device includes a movement sensor configured to detect movement of the e-vaping device and output an output signal based on the movement. The controller includes control circuitry configured to control power supplied to power consuming elements of the e-vaping device based on the output signal.

This non-combusting flavor inhaler is provided with a control unit which, as an instruction to a battery, outputs to the battery a prescribed instruction instructing the battery that the amount of aerosol vaporized by a vaporizer unit should fall within a desired range. The control unit stops power supply from the battery to the vaporizer unit once a prescribed period has elapsed since the start of supplying power to the vaporizer unit. The prescribed period is shorter than the upper limit value of a standard puff period, which is derived from a statistic of the user's puff period.
