An electronic cigarette atomizer employing an ultrasonic atomizing unit (6), which comprises an outer tube (1), a liquid storage cup (2), a porous supporting sheet (3), a cigarette liquid permeation sheet (4), an ultrasonic atomizing unit (6), an atomizing seat (7), and a power connector (8). An inside of the atomizing seat (7) is provided with the ultrasonic atomizing unit (6), which includes a liquid guiding stick (61), an atomizing sheet (62), and an ultrasonic oscillating sheet (63); the ultrasonic oscillating sheet (63) can ultrasonically atomize the cigarette liquid conducted from the cigarette liquid permeation sheet (4) and the liquid guiding stick (61) to the atomizing sheet (62). The ultrasonic atomizing unit (6) is employed to atomize the cigarette liquid, which prevents the burning and deformation of the components of the electronic cigarette atomizer due to heating at high temperature.

A sprayer that senses the presence or character of a surface to be sprayed includes one or more sensors configured to detect a presence or character of a surface to be sprayed; and a dispenser assembly including one or more components configured to modify at least one spray characteristic of a formulation based on an input from at least one of the one or more sensors indicative of the presence or character of the surface to be sprayed.

A decontamination device configured to provide, on a short time scale, uniform decontamination of target articles without using expensive electron accelerators and to treat articles to be decontaminated in large quantities.

The device includes a device body composed of a decontamination region and an aeration region, a conveyance means for conveying an article, a mist supply means, a mist control means, and an aeration means. The mist supply means converts a decontamination agent into a decontamination agent mist and supplies the same to the inside of the decontamination region. The mist control means includes vibration boards adjacent to internal wall surfaces of the decontamination region, and these boards are ultrasonically vibrated to generate sound flows from board surfaces by an ultrasound in the vertical direction. The decontamination agent mist supplied to the inside of the decontamination region is pressed by acoustic radiation to concentrate such mist on external surfaces of the article conveyed inside the decontamination region.

An acoustic force assisted painting system has a housing, at least one nozzle and at least one acoustic emitter. The housing has a conduit for receiving paint from an external source into the housing. The at least one nozzle is disposed in the housing. The at least one nozzle has an inlet that is fluidly connected to the conduit to receive paint from the conduit. The at least one nozzle has an outlet that dispenses paint. The least one acoustic emitter is disposed in the housing at a location downstream of the inlet with respect to the conduit.

A fog generator assembly includes a water vapor generator, a fragrance dispenser, and a mixing element fluidly coupled to the water generator and the fragrance dispenser. The mixing element is configured to mix a fog of water vapor from the water vapor generator with a fragrance from the fragrance dispenser to produce an aromatic fog.

The invention relates to a nebulizer system (1) for a motor vehicle. It comprises: a. at least one reservoir (10) for a liquid; b. at least one nebulization chamber (14) equipped with a nebulizer nozzle (3), said nozzle being equipped with a device (4) for emitting acoustic waves, for example a piezo-electric element (4), said nebulization chamber (14) being configured in such a way that the liquid coming from the reservoir (10) forms a jet (13) of liquid and a mist (12) of droplets, said mist being intended to enter a motor vehicle interior (2); c. at least one acoustic attenuation means (20). According to the invention, the acoustic attenuation means (20) comprises at least one grating (20).

A printhead for dispensing a fluid is provided. The printhead comprises at least one chamber; an array of piezoactuated flow channel dispensers enclosed in the at least one chamber; a multi-orifice dispensing plate; and an air dispensing element comprising a source of compressed air and an air flow controller configured to direct a flow of air.

An in-line droplet delivery device and related methods for delivering precise and repeatable dosages to a subject for pulmonary use is disclosed. The in-line droplet delivery device includes a housing, a mouthpiece, a reservoir, an ejector mechanism, and at least one differential pressure sensor. The in-line droplet delivery device is automatically breath actuated by the user when the differential pressure sensor senses a predetermined pressure change within housing. The in-line droplet delivery device is then actuated to generate a plume of droplets having an average ejected particle diameter within the respirable size range, e.g, less than about 5-6 μm, so as to target the pulmonary system of the user. the droplet delivery device is configured in an in-line orientation in that the housing, its internal components, and various device components (e.g., the mouthpiece, air inlet flow element, etc.) are orientated in a substantially in-line or parallel configuration (e.g., along the airflow path) so as to form a small, hand-held device.
