An artificial flame apparatus produces a simulated flame using a plume of mist that is illuminated around, about, and/or through an artificial wick. A mist may be produced by a transducer, such as an ultrasonic transducer, that is in contact with liquid from a liquid reservoir. The rate of mist exiting the housing may be modulated to produce a more realistic looking artificial flame. An airflow device may control, shape, vary, and/or move the mist in the creation of the vapor plume. Airflow channels, inlet and outlet ports, openings (angled and/or straight) to effectively transport air to control movement and/or shape plume characteristics (e.g. height, width, density, shape) to simulate the look and effect of a realistic dancing flame. A light source is configured to illuminate the mist and/or the artificial wick.

A conservation system and method for cleaning produce through mist immersion in an atomized aqueous medium. The system and method provides a tank for receiving the produce to soak and rinse an aqueous cleaning medium, so as to remove and dissolve residues and contaminants from rough or smooth surfaces of the produce. While cleaning the produce, the system and method is effective for conservation of water, liquids or other mediums, by not fully soaking the produce in a medium, but rather by uniformly immersing the produce in tiny droplets of atomized aqueous medium for a predetermined duration. After this droplet immersion, the produce is then rinsed and ready for consumption. The tank provides an air nozzle for aerating aqueous medium and an ultrasonic device for atomizing aqueous medium between 1 m and 15 m. The produce is supported on a basket while being soaked in the aerated and atomized aqueous medium.

The invention relates to apparatus and a process for mixing a gas/vapour with a process liquid comprising a material and a carrier liquid. The apparatus comprises a passage (10) of polygonal cross section having an inlet (14), an outlet (16) for a process liquid comprising the material, and a nozzle (24) for introducing supersonic gas/vapour at a mixing zone (42) in a single plane.

A floating-type humidifier according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a floating body which floats in a reservoir that accommodates water; an ultrasonic wave generation unit which is installed by being inserted into the floating body, and atomizes the water, which is introduced into a lower side of the floating body, into a water particles state by means of ultrasonic vibration; a guide tube which is detachably coupled to the floating body, is installed above the ultrasonic wave generation unit, guides the water particles, and has a fan installation hole horizontally and penetratively formed in a lateral portion of the guide tube; a blower fan which is coupled in the fan installation hole, and injects air into the guide tube so as to discharge the water particles to an upper side of the guide tube; and a discharge groove which is formed in an upper surface of the floating body so as to communicate with the fan installation hole in which the blower fan is mounted.

An artificial flame apparatus produces a simulated flame using a plume of mist that is illuminated around, about, and through an artificial wick. A mist may be produced by a transducer, such as an ultrasonic transducer that is in contact with liquid from a liquid reservoir. The rate of mist exiting the housing may be modulated to produce a more realistic looking artificial flame. A light source is configured to illuminate the mist and/or the artificial wick. The artificial wick may be in the shape of a wick or flame and may include a light source. One or more light sources may be configured as the artificial wick. The light intensity, color and rate of change of light may be modulated to produce a more realistic looking artificial flame. A standing wave tube may vary the rate of mist exiting one or more enclosure openings in the tube enclosure.

The present disclosure relates to a microfluidic vaporizer, an aerosol delivery device that may include such vaporizer, and methods for forming an aerosol. A microfluidic vaporizer can comprise a substrate that defines: a reservoir configured to hold a liquid; a heater adapted to vaporize the liquid; and a capillary channel configured for movement of the liquid from the reservoir to the heater. An aerosol delivery device can comprise a shell and a microfluidic vaporizer. The microfluidic vaporizer and aerosol delivery device can be used for forming aerosols with precise and reproducible compositions.

A fragrance diffuser can include a reservoir adapted to hold a foundation liquid, a fragrance dock adapted to receive a container containing a fragrant liquid, a vaporizer adapted to atomize a liquid, the vaporizer configured to receive and vaporize at least a portion of the base liquid from the reservoir and at least a portion of the fragrant liquid from the container, a duct providing a fluid flow path between the vaporizer and an airspace that surrounds the fragrance diffuser and a discharge tray adapted to receive an unused portion of a liquid mixture comprising the base liquid and the fragrant liquid.
