摘要： Deformable valves and atomizer designs for a vaporizer (e.g., electronic cigarette). The vaporizer may be used for vaporization of liquid and/or organic material. The vaporizer may enable enhanced flow control of fluid and may generate high quality and quantity of vapor efficiently. In some instances, flow path of the vaporizer may allow bulk fluid flow, e.g., in contrast to capillary flow, to deliver fluid to a vicinity of the vaporizer. In some instances, the vaporizer may utilize improved atomizer designs for vaporizing devices, where said designs can be configured optionally, with various embodiments of a breath-modulating deformable valve.

摘要： A system including: a temperature responsive polymer configured to expand to a cross-sectional area of a fluid channel when a temperature of the fluid in the fluid channel is greater than or equal to a temperature threshold Tth, and to retract to less than the cross-sectional area when the temperature of the fluid in the fluid channel is less than Tth, an expandable material layer surrounding the temperature responsive polymer and configured to expand and retract with the expansion and retraction of the temperature responsive polymer, and a sieve housing encasing the expandable material and being configured to be disposed in the fluid channel, wherein when the temperature of the fluid in the fluid channel is greater than or equal to Tth, the temperature responsive polymer expands to the cross-sectional area such that the expandable material layer prevents the fluid in the fluid channel from passing through the sieve housing.

摘要： A tunable oscillating heat pipe system that includes an oscillating closed loop heat pipe configured for movement of a fluid in an internal passage in the closed loop to transfer heat from a first portion of the closed loop to a second portion. The heat pipe system further includes a valve arranged in a section of the internal passage movable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the valve is arranged to permit movement of the fluid in the internal passage and in the closed position, the valve is arranged in the internal passage to limit movement of the fluid in a part of the internal passage. Movement of the valve between the open position and the closed position can be a function of at least one of temperature at the first portion, temperature at the second portion, or temperature at the valve.

摘要： Provided is a thermos-valve connecting body with which attachment work is simplified by integrating a plurality of thermos-valves. The thermos-valve includes: a housing; a thermos-element that includes a temperature-sensing unit that senses the temperature of a coolant, that opens and closes one flow path in accordance with the temperature of the coolant, and that is housed inside the housing; and a connecting part formed on the housing and attached to another thermos-valve. The thermos-valve connecting body enables one thermos-valve to be attached to a connecting part of the other thermos-valve by the connecting part formed on the housing, and the one thermos-valve and the other thermos-valve to be formed integrally.

摘要： A valve assembly failsafe configured to be coupled to an actuator of a coolant control regulator assembly is provided. The valve assembly failsafe includes a wind arm, a spring that engages the wind arm under spring tension, a latch that engages the wind arm, a drive gear that engages the wind arm and the actuator, and a driver that engages the latch. The valve assembly failsafe is configured to be positioned in a set state where the latch engages and retains the wind arm under spring tension and the drive gear freely rotates during rotation of the actuator, and a tripped state where the driver rotates the latch to disengage the latch from the wind arm, causing the wind arm to rotate under the spring tension to engage the drive gear and cause the drive gear to drive the actuator to a default position.

摘要： A valve group extending along a conduit and conduit axis includes conduit side walls and first and second axially spaced conduit openings, fluidically connected to operating and heat exchanger groups. The valve group includes a valve body with an axial guide slot, having a body cavity, and first and second body openings axially spaced apart, facing the first and second conduit openings. A shutter includes an axially movable shutter body between the valve body and conduit side walls. The shutter includes first and second shutter openings and a guide element extending radially through the guide slot. A control device engages the valve body and the shutter to control an axis between a base position in which a first hydraulic passage section is at least as great as a second hydraulic passage section, and an adjustment position in which the first passage section is smaller than the second passage section.
