At least one heating element is present that is in thermal communication to the at least one vaporization port and at least one ridge structure.

An atomizing spray device includes a housing having plural inlets and one or more outlets fluidly coupled with each other by an interior chamber. The inlets include a first inlet shaped to receive a first fluid and a second inlet shaped to receive a slurry of ceramic particles and a second fluid. The interior chamber in the housing is shaped to mix the first fluid received via the first inlet with the slurry received via the second inlet inside the housing to form a mixture in a location between the inlets and the one or more outlets. The interior chamber in the housing also is shaped to direct the mixture formed inside the housing as droplets outside of the housing via the one or more outlets such that, based on a discharged amount of the first fluid in the droplets, the first fluid promotes evaporation of the second fluid as the droplets traverse from the housing toward a surface of a component.

The present disclosure further provides aqueous cannabinoid compositions for use in the aerosol generation devices.

An atomization device (10) includes a housing (11), an atomization assembly (12), a liquid conducting body (13), and a base (14). A gas flow channel (10) and a liquid storage compartment (102) that are separated from each other are provided in the housing (11). The atomization assembly (12) includes a main body (121) and a heat generating sheet (122). The main body (121) is mounted on a first end of the housing (11), and the base (14) is mounted on the side of the main body (121) away from the housing (11). The main body (121) is provided with a receiving chamber (120) communicated with the liquid storage compartment (102). The heat generating sheet (122) is disposed on the main body (121) across the receiving chamber (120) and is located in the gas flow channel (101). The liquid conducting body (13) is disposed in the receiving chamber (120) and is in contact with the heat generating sheet (122), so as to conduct cigarette liquid contained in the liquid storage compartment (102) to the heat-generating plate (122).

There is provided a flavor dispenser apparatus that allows flavored aerosols to be dispensed into a glass, plate, or other dishware during a meal or the like. The flavor dispenser apparatus includes a storage part storing an aerosol-generating liquid, a heating unit having a heater and generating an aerosol by atomizing the aerosol-generating liquid, a liquid delivery unit delivering the aerosol-generating liquid to the heating unit, an aerosol passage having at a distal end thereof an aerosol outlet port, a flavor source holding part provided at an intermediate point in the aerosol passage and holding a flavor source so as to allow passage of the aerosol, and an aerosol-pumping unit transporting the aerosol toward the flavor source holding part and causing the aerosol to pass through the flavor source as well as causing the aerosol flavored by the flavor source to be discharged from the aerosol outlet port.

The present disclosure provides a coating apparatus and method for applying a coating of a therapeutic agent, comprising an openable and sealable device compartment, a therapeutic agent positioned in communication with the device compartment, a thermal source for vaporizing the therapeutic agent, and a vacuum source in fluid communication with the device compartment.

An interactive toy system is shown and described. The toy system can include a container forming a receptacle and having a top opening and a carriage. The carriage is disposed in the receptacle and rotatable about an axis between a first position and a second position. The carriage has a first receiving space and a second receiving space. The first receiving space is accessible through the top opening when the carriage is in the first position and inaccessible when the carriage is in the second position. The second receiving space is accessible through the top opening when the carriage is in the second position and inaccessible when the carriage is in the first position. The toy system can include a fog system configured to generate fog within the container. The fog obfuscating the first receiving space.

Ultrafine bubbles with a diameter of less than 1.0 μm are generated in liquid by causing film boiling in liquid by means of a heater.

A novel vaporizing assembly is disclosed using a suspended thermal radiator that is spaced apart from a phyto material support surface facing a proximal end of the housing and accessible through the proximal opening and fluidly coupled therewith, the phyto material support surface configured to support a phyto material extract for vaporizing and disposed distally below the proximal opening and in fluid communication therewith. The phyto material support surface for receiving of the phyto material extract for vaporizing for having at least a portion of the phyto material extract gravitationally induced to flow towards a pooling area, the phyto material extract proximate the pooling area for thermally contacting the heating element assembly and for being heated to a predetermined temperature to result in a vapor to be emitted from the phyto material extract. A lid assembly is provided for directing airflow from an outside environment towards the phyto material in the pooling area.

An aerosol forming component for volatilizing a liquid in an aerosol delivery device is disclosed. The aerosol forming component includes a first aerosol-forming member configured to be heated up to a first operating temperature and thereafter to a second higher operating temperature, and a second aerosol-forming member configured to be heated up to at least the first operating temperature as the first aerosol-forming member reaches the second higher operating temperature so that liquid volatilized from the two aerosol-forming members mix with one another.
