An electronic vaping device includes a housing, a planar heater, a heater support, a tank, and a wick. The housing extends in a longitudinal direction and has a tip end and a mouth-end. The tip end is closed and the mouth-end has an opening therein. The heater support supports the planar heater. The tank contains a pre-vapor formulation and is configured to slide into and out of the opening of the mouth-end of the housing. The wick extends from the tank and is configured to be in contact with the planar heater when the tank is inserted in the housing.

The present disclosure provides an electrically conductive sheet for use in three-dimensional molding including: a pseudo-sheet structure in which plural electrically conductive linear bodies extending unidirectionally are arranged spaced apart from each other; and a resin protective layer provided on a surface of the pseudo-sheet structure. In the above mentioned electrically conductive sheet, each of the electrically conductive linear bodies in the pseudo-sheet structure includes: a first portion formed in a wave pattern having a wavelength λ1 and an amplitude A1; and a second portion formed in a wave pattern having a wavelength λ2 and an amplitude A2, at least one of which is different from the wavelength λ1 or the amplitude A1 of the first portion.

An apparatus includes a substrate, a first heating element, and a second heating element. The substrate includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion that is between the first portion and the second portion. The first portion is characterized by a first thermal conductivity, the second portion is characterized by a second thermal conductivity, and the third portion is characterized by a third thermal conductivity. The third thermal conductivity is less than the first thermal conductivity and the second thermal conductivity. The first heating element is coupled to the first portion of the substrate, and is configured to produce a first thermal output. The second heating element is coupled to the second portion of the substrate, and configured to produce a second thermal output. The second thermal output is different from the first thermal output.

A workstation for a film-processing packaging machine defines a film transport plane in which the packaging film can be transported. In addition, the workstation comprises an electrically operable heating assembly. The latter in turn comprises an electrically conductive planar resistance heating element which in a plane parallel to the film transport plane has dimensions that are greater by a factor of at least 5, preferably at least 10, than in a direction perpendicular to the film transport plane. The resistance heating element is arranged between a heating plate and a clamping plate. The disclosure also relates to a packaging machine with such a workstation and to a method for operating such a workstation.

A heater includes a base, a resistive heating body, and a terminal portion. The base is formed of ceramic and has a plate shape. The resistive heating body is located in the base. The terminal portion is electrically connected to the resistive heating body. The base includes a protruding portion surrounding the terminal portion, on a lower surface side. The protruding portion is formed of a ceramic member, and the terminal portion passes through a through hole formed in the ceramic member. The ceramic member is bonded to at least one of the lower surface of the base or the terminal portion.

This present disclosure relates to a flexible heating device having a unique layered assembly structure including a flexible heat generating layer. The present disclosure also relates to a method of manufacturing the flexible heating device and method of use of the flexible heating device in various applications.

A heating device for an electric cooktop has at least one long heating conductor, one support body on the top side of which the heating conductor is arranged and fitted, and one supporting means for the support body. The heating conductor is designed as a corrugated flat strip which has, on its bottom side, holding elements which are arranged at a distance from one another and integrally project downward and are pushed into the support body. The supporting means supports the support body, at least in its outer region along an outer edge, at the bottom. The support body consists, as a thin plate, of compressed and adhesively bonded mica material, for example micanite, and is therefore electrically insulating and sufficiently stable.

A device for treating exhaust gases which is designed for electrically contacting a plurality of conductor tracks, which are arranged within an interior space that is surrounded by an outer wall of the device, through the outer wall. One or more electrodes which may be electrically contacted through the outer wall are arranged in the interior space, each of which electrodes electrically contacts two or more of the conductor tracks in the interior space.

A method of fabricating a thin film heater includes a first step of etching a metal sheet from two opposing sides to provide a planar heating element; and a second step of attaching the heating element to a flexible electrically insulating backing film. The method allows for the fabrication of a thin film heater which provides more uniform heating and allows for greater range of selection of the properties of the flexible electrically insulating backing film and the parameters of the etching process. A heater assembly and an aerosol generating device incorporating the thin film are also described.
