An on-demand vapour generator includes a vapour chamber configured to produce a vapour and a vapour absorption assembly configured to receive flows of vapour from the vapour chamber. The vapour absorption assembly includes a first vapour-permeable passage having a passage outlet and at least one second vapour-permeable passage that is closed. When vapour absorption assembly receives a flow of vapour from the vapour chamber, the flow of vapour passes through the first vapour-permeable passage to the passage outlet at least substantially without absorption of vapour from the flow of vapour. However, when a flow of vapour is not received from the vapour chamber, vapour entering the vapour absorption assembly from the vapour chamber passes into the first vapour-permeable passage and the at least one second vapour-permeable passage and is at least substantially absorbed.

A method for dynamic installation and activation of software packages in a distributed networking device. A master node provides a software package database that contains software packages for all nodes. It notifies a node that a software update is being requested, which examines the package identifiers and the dependencies and determines the running processes that will be affected by the update. The processes evaluate the effect that the update will have on their operation. If any of the processes determine that the update will degrade or have a negative impact on the operation of the node, the process will veto the update. If the master node receives no vetoes, it updates the node which installs and activates without interrupting the normal operation of the node.

摘要:
A system for treating a fluid comprising solids and particulates where the system includes a separation device that includes a chamber having an outlet and an inlet, and a separation panel within the chamber that is located above and in fluid communication with the inlet, where the separation panel includes a plurality of openings sized smaller than the solids and larger than the particulates. The separation panel also includes a plurality of deflectors to deflect the solids away from the separation panel while the fluid passes through the openings in the separation panel to remove the solids from the fluid. The inlet is preferably located tangentially to the separation panel. The system also includes a maturing area, in fluid communication with the separation device, to receive the fluid, where one or more additives are added to the fluid in the maturing area to create formed and enlarged particles from the particulates in the fluid, and where the formed and enlarged particles are removed from the fluid by the separation device.

Cigarettes are manufactured using modified automated cigarette making apparatus. Those cigarettes possess smokable rods having paper wrapping materials having additive materials applied thereto as patterns. The additive materials, which can have the forms of liquid or paste formulations (e.g., aqueous formulations incorporating starch or modified starch), are applied to a continuous paper web on the cigarette making apparatus. The formulation is applied to the paper web using application apparatus possessing rollers a series of roller. For example, additive material is applied to the roll face of a transfer roller due to roll interaction of that transfer roller with a pick-up roller; roll interaction of the transfer roller with an application roller causes transfer of the additive material from the transfer roller to the application roller; and additive material from the application roller is transferred to the paper web that passes between the application roller and a back-up roller. A radiant dryer is used to dry the additive material that has been applied to the paper web. The radiant dryer is located on one component of a two component assembly that is used to manufacture cigarettes. A first component of the two component assembly provides a source of paper web, applies additive material to that web in a pattern and dries the paper web; while a second component receives the paper web, supplies tobacco filler and manufactures a cigarette rod from the paper web and tobacco filler. An alternate assembly system provides a source of paper web, applies additive material to that web in a pattern, dries the paper web, and winds the treated paper web on to a bobbin; and that bobbin is later used to provide a source of paper web on a cigarette making machine unrolls that bobbin, receives the treated paper web from that bobbin, supplies tobacco filler and manufactures a cigarette rod from the paper web and tobacco filler. Spectrometric techniques are used to ensure proper registration of the additive material on the cigarette rods so manufactured, and to ensure proper quality of those cigarettes.

A method of dynamically reconfiguring the logical devices in a storage system is provided. The method allows a logical devices to be added, removed, or repositioned without requiring the storage system to be taken off-line. The method includes manipulating the request queues associated with host controllers within the storage system. The request queues associated with each logical device may be repositioned in the request queue memory in order to make room for new logical devices or to take advantage of free space associated with a removed logical device. The storage system communicates with the host computer in order to manage the reconfiguration of the request queues while still providing storage services to the host computer.
