The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for rapid flash-like volatilization of high and low vapor pressure components from liquid or solid emanators which is in contact with a point or localized heat source. Vaporization is promoted by a geometrically small electrically resistive heating element with variable activation for pulsed or cyclic heating of an emanating surface containing the volatile components. The apparatus is primarily directed towards the treatment of residential air for fragrancing, odor elimination, treatment of insects or pests, air sanitization, air and surface antibacterial or antimicrobial treatment, or other ambient air or surface modification by way of gas or vapor distribution.

An electrosurgical generator for supplying RF power to an electrosurgical instrument for cutting or vaporising tissue has an RF output stage with RF output devices, a series-resonant output network and an RF output. The generator offers improved cutting and vaporising performance, especially in relation to the reliability with which an arc can be struck when presented with an initial load impedance load. This is achieved by virtue of the output stage being capable of maintaining output pulses of at least 1 kW peak by supplying the RF output devices from a large reservoir capacitor. An appropriate combination of cutting performance and haemostasis is provided by allowing for pulsed or continuous wave operation once an arc has been established, according to whether or not a surplus energy condition exists, as indicated by the voltage across the reservoir capacitor.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an air-conditioning garment capable of expanding a range in which a physiological cooler function originally included in a human body is effectively exercised, with a small power consumption in accordance with an individual difference or an intended use of a wearer. This air-conditioning garment is provided with a clothing material portion 20 which guides air along a surface of a body in a space between itself and the body, three air circulating portions 40, 40 and 40 which take air flowing in the space between the clothing material portion 20 and the body to the outside, two air sending means 50 and 50 for forcibly generating a flow of air in the space between the clothing material portion 20 and the body, and power supplying means 61 for supplying power to the air sending means 50 and 50. The air sending means 50 and 50 take outside air into the clothing material portion 20, and generate air flowing with a flow quantity of 6 liters/second. As a result, the air-conditioning garment can rapidly vaporize sweat, and hence the range in which the physiological cooler function originally included in a human body is effectively exercised can be expanded, thereby demonstrating a sufficient cooling effect.

The present invention pertains to aerosols which comprise a first compound which is physiologically active and a second compound which is different from the first compound. Such aerosols may be produced “on demand” and can be used to control drug release, to improve vaporizability, or to reduce, modify or eliminate undesirable taste associated with a drug aerosol. The present invention also pertains to methods for producing such aerosols.

Graphene and graphene-like materials may be formed by preparing a solution of a suitable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) in a solvent that is immiscible with water (or other suitable underlying liquid). A suitably thin layer of the PAH solution is formed on the surface of a thin layer of water. The solvent is evaporated from the solution layer to form a film of PAH material organized in contiguous molecular discs. The organized PAH material may be further processed by careful removal or evaporation of the water layer to deposit the PAH residue on a desired surface. The PAH residue may then be heated to remove hydrogen atoms and form a carbon-enriched or wholly carbon, graphene structure.

A vaporizer and vaporizer cartridge for inhaling vapors from vaporized oil. The vaporizer has a mouthpiece for use by a user to inhale the vapors. The mouthpiece is connected to a cartridge which contains the oil to be vaporized and the apparatus for vaporizing the oil. The vaporizer cartridge contains a reservoir of the oil which flows down to a wick, which is heated by a heating coil to a temperature necessary to vaporize the oil. Under the wick is a residue basin which collects any oil which fails to vaporize. The residue basin is placed at an optimal distance from the wick such that when the next user initiates another draw on the vaporizer, the un-vaporized oil in the residue basin is vaporized. Below the cartridge is a battery component that provides power to a heating coil which heats the wick to vaporize the oil. Air flows up from below the cartridge on one side, then cross-flows across the wick and residue basin, and up the other side of the cartridge to the mouthpiece.

A vaporizer can efficiently vaporize a liquid material under a depressurized atmosphere. The liquid material is temporarily stored in a liquid storing chamber, and is supplied to a vaporizing chamber set in the depressurized atmosphere via a small aperture. An inlet of the liquid storing chamber is opened or closed by a valve body, which is moved by an actuator controlling a degree of opening of the valve body.

A seed treater provides enhanced seed coating capabilities and performance. The seed and/or treatment fluid may be heated for improving vaporization and absorption by the seed.

In addition, a vapor chamber having this kind of supporting structure is provided. Thereby, it is possible to increase the phase-changing amount of the vapor chamber, accelerate the heat-transferring speed, and enhance the heat-conducting performance further.

An adsorption-desalination unit utilizing a silica gel—water working pair adsorbent—adsorbate having an economizing heat exchanger to pre-heat the incoming source seawater to be desalinated in an evaporator from about 8° C. to about 1° C. above the ambient seawater temperature. The economizing heat exchanger employs heat captured during the adsorption cycle to pre-heat incoming source seawater, thereby increasing the efficient use of energy in the unit. The heating fluid utilized to drive the desorption cycle is further utilized to heat the evaporator. A mist eliminator positioned intermediate the evaporator and the adsorbent heat exchanger chambers prevents non-vaporized water from entering the adsorbent heat exchanger chambers.
