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 fuel supply system has an air chamber that contains a fuel injector. At least one aperture is formed in a substantially lowermost portion of a lower surface of the air chamber. The aperture and the lower surface have a generally uninterrupted or smooth transition or interface.

Methods and systems are described for controlling fuel injection in an engine equipped with a dual injector system including a port injector and a direct injector. A ratio of port injected fuel to direct injected fuel is adjusted based at least on intake valve temperature. The proportion of fuel port injected into a cylinder is increased as the intake valve temperature for the given cylinder increases to improve fuel vaporization in the intake port.

The invention relates to a method for applying porous ceramics to air humidification and an air conditioning device; in a vaporizing air humidification device based on normal temperature, flowing air blows over humidifying carrier used for absorbing moisture to vaporize the moisture on the surface thereof to water vapour into air, so as to improve air humidity; in the invention, the open-cell porous ceramics body is taken as the humidifying carrier; the open-cell porous ceramics body is high temperature resistant and has long service life, thereby lowering cost of the air humidification device. The invention also relates to an air conditioning device adopting the method; namely the open-cell porous ceramics body is taken as the humidifying carrier; as the porous ceramics body is high temperature resistant, manufacturing the air conditioning device with sole humidification function, sole heating function and both the humidification function and the heating function is feasible, and the method of vaporizing high-temperature air into water greatly improves humidification amount, saves electric power and has considerable popularization and application value.

An engine ECU executes a program including a step of sensing a coolant temperature TW of an engine, if a start request of the engine is sensed, a step of causing only an intake manifold injector to inject fuel to start engine 10, if coolant temperature TW is lower than a threshold value TW(0), and a step of causing only an in-cylinder injector to inject fuel to start engine 10, if coolant temperature TW is higher than threshold value TW(0).

The invention discloses a method of oil pumping which adopts the combination of fire oil layer slug and steam drive and is applicable for the pumping of thick oil reservoir. After the steam soaking of the thick oil reservoir and before the pumping of the steam drive, the fire oil layer slug type pumping is performed; an ignition technology is adopted to ignite the oil layer to burn; an air compressor is used to inject air into the oil layer continuously from a center injection well; after 0.3 to 0.8 years of pumping, steam is injected into the oil layer through an injection well, and the steam drive type pumping is performed. The invention can generate the high temperature of 400 to 800 DEG C in the burning zone of the fire oil layer slug, which is in favor of the water stored in an individual well after the steam soaking to be vaporized as high-dryness steam; the temperature of the bottom of the injection well, and the dryness of the steam injected by the following steam drive are improved; the strata pressure is improved; larger producing pressure differential is achieved, which is in favor of improving the lifting rate of the oil well; moreover, the invention is in favor of shortening the low-production period at the beginning period of the steam drive and improving the developing effects of the steam drive and the recovery ratio of crude oil.

An internal combustion engine is started by performing fuel supply into part of a plurality of cylinders included in the internal combustion engine. After the magnitude of the negative pressure produced in intake piping of the internal combustion engine exceeds a predetermined reference value, fuel supply into the remaining cylinder(s) is started.

In one example a method includes temporarily increasing a liquid reductant dosing value injected by an injector from a first dosing value to a second dosing value, the temporary increase in response to a change from injecting liquid reductant onto a first impact location on a disperser device to injecting onto a second impact location on the disperser device.
