Disclosed is a system for analyzing foreign particulate matter in a cathode material powder. The system includes: a transfer unit including a rotating plate having an upper surface having an edge on which a cathode material powder containing foreign particulate matter is placed and a rotary motor rotating the rotating plate and transferring the cathode material powder along the circular arc direction as the rotating plate rotates; a supply unit supplying the cathode material powder to the upper surface of the rotating plate; a roller unit including a main roller pressing the cathode material powder supplied from the supply unit; an imaging unit imaging the cathode material powder spread in the form of a flat film and transferred along the circular arc direction; and an analysis unit analyzing the image captured by the imaging unit to identify the foreign particulate matter.

The present invention relates to a smoking substitute device and particularly, although not exclusively, to a smoking substitute device that facilitates cleaning. Accordingly, there is provided a smoking substitute device comprising a body (209) having a longitudinal extension, a cavity (222), arranged at an end of the body, for receiving an aerosol-generating consumable (202), a heating element (223) arranged in the cavity and having a longitudinal extension substantially parallel to the longitudinal extension of the body and a removable cap covering the end of the body where the cavity is arranged at, wherein, for detaching the removable cap from the smoking substitute device, the removable cap is arranged to be moved in a first direction (402) and subsequently is arranged to be moved in a second direction (404), in particular substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and/or wherein, for reattaching the removable cap to the smoking substitute device, the removable cap is arranged to be moved in a second direction (404) and subsequently is arranged to be moved in a first direction (402), in particular substantially perpendicular to the second direction.

Described herein is a system for the preparation of a filled biscuit, including: a forming unit for forming biscuit bodies in series, with a biscuit dough; a conveying system for feeding the biscuit bodies along a production path; an oven for baking the biscuit bodies, which is traversed by the conveying system and is configured to subject the biscuit bodies to a baking process, while the biscuit bodies are fed along the conveying system; and an injection unit, which is set downstream of the oven with reference to the production path and includes a plurality of needles for injecting a filling simultaneously into a plurality of the biscuit bodies arranged on the conveying system.

A detoxifying device of a structure wherein the deposits can be removed cleanly, without leaving residue, even for a nozzle that is provided with a narrow diameter portion and a wide diameter portion that is further to the downstream side than the narrow diameter portion, and to provide a nozzle scraper used in said detoxifying device.

A cleaning device is provided that includes a housing, a cleaning head, a flexible pouch, a cleaning element, and a spray nozzle. The housing defines an internal cavity having a power source in selective electrical communication with a pump. The flexible pouch is removably stored in the housing and includes a cleaning fluid therein. The pouch forms a fluid and air tight connection with an inlet of the pump. The cleaning element is connected to the cleaning head and has a first spray opening. The spray nozzle is in fluid communication with an outlet of the pump. The spray nozzle is positioned on the cleaning head so as to spray the cleaning fluid from the flexible pouch through the first opening onto a surface being cleaned.

Sensor cleaning devices, methods, and systems are provided. Output from sensors of a vehicle may be used to describe an environment around the vehicle. In the event that a sensor is obstructed by dirt, debris, or detritus the sensor may not sufficiently describe the environment for autonomous control operations. In response to receiving an indication of an obstructed sensor, the sensor cleaning devices, methods, and systems described herein may proceed to remove the obstruction from the sensor.

A cleaning system for cleaning at least one electrode of an electronic air cleaner includes a drive mechanism, at least one support operably coupled to the drive mechanism, and a continuous belt engaged with the at least one support. The continuous belt includes one or more cleaning teeth extending from a surface of the continuous belt and the one or more cleaning teeth are coplanar with the at least one electrode.
