A cartridge for an aerosol-generating system is provided, including a first compartment containing a nicotine source and having a first air inlet and first air outlet, the inlet being upstream of the outlet; a second compartment containing an acid source and having a second air inlet and second air outlet, the inlet being upstream of the outlet; a mixing chamber for mixing nicotine from the nicotine source and acid from the acid source with an air flow to form an aerosol, the mixing chamber being downstream of both the first air outlet and the second air outlet; and a heating element configured to heat the mixing chamber, at least a portion of the heating element being neither upstream nor downstream of the mixing chamber. An aerosol-generating system and a method for aerosol generation in an aerosol-generating system are also provided.

There is provided a steering covering member in which it is possible to dispose a wire on a grip section in a wider range while a wrinkle or a slack is suppressed, a steering wheel including the steering covering member, and a method for manufacturing the steering wheel. The steering covering member includes a sheet-shaped sheet member having extensibility and a wire held by the sheet member. The sheet member is set to have a length, in a natural length, having a corresponding relationship with an inner circumferential-side length of a rim section main body portion. Both end portions of the sheet member in the longitudinal direction are disposed at positions corresponding to recessed portions of the rim section main body portion.

Heating devices based on self-regulating heating tape for various industries. Heating device comprises a self-regulating heating tape and external metal flexible armor, wherein a metal strip has a longitudinal groove, and the edge of the strip has a flange. The heating tape comprises two conductors which are insulated from each other and placed into a conducting polymer matrix enclosed in a polymer insulating sheath. The heating device has high mechanical strength, high flexibility, tightness, high resistance to external aggressive media, and fire safety.

An apparatus arranged to heat smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material. The apparatus includes a housing; the housing having an insertion point at one end through which a consumable article including smokable material can be removably inserted into the apparatus; and at least one heater arranged within the housing for heating the smokable material within the consumable article. The housing includes ventilation around the outside of the consumable article at the insertion point to enable at least one heated volatilized component from the smokable material to exit the apparatus or air to enter the apparatus.

This disclosure relates to a shrink-fit device for inductively heating shrink-fit chucks for shank tools, having an accommodating region for accommodating a shrink-fit chuck, an induction coil arrangement which surrounds the accommodating region concentrically with respect to a coil axis, and a measuring unit for controlling the temperature of the shrink-fit chuck. For controlling heating, a measuring channel, which opens into the accommodating region, passes through the induction coil arrangement. The measuring unit has a temperature sensor which engages in the measuring channel for detecting a casing temperature of the shrink-fit chuck.

A cooking enclosure is configured to hold food being cooked. The enclosure includes a surrounding, generally vertical, sidewall, projecting upward from a base. The base includes a floor bridging a bottom of enclosure, and the enclosure is capped by a vertically moving ceiling. The vertical moving ceiling secures a cooking heat source which is in thermal communication with the enclosure interior. The moving ceiling is configured to move up and down within the sidewall to vary, up and down, a volume of the cooking enclosure. The cooking enclosure is configured to have both a smaller cooking enclosure volume, suitable for quickly cooking small foods, and larger cooking enclosure volume necessary to cook larger foods.
