Title: A device for vaporising vaporisable matter
Inventor: OGLESBY ALFRED PETER
IPC: A24F42/60
Filed: 2006-02-02
Abstract: A device (1) for producing an aerosol from vaporisable constituents of tobacco comprises a vaporising chamber (24) within which the tobacco is placed. A main housing (9) which forms a portion of the vaporising chamber also forms a combustion chamber (18) within which a gas catalytic combustion element (19) is located for converting fuel gas to heat by catalytic action. A temperature responsive control valve (61) controls the supply of fuel gas to the combustion chamber for maintaining the temperature in the vaporising chamber.  A thermal mass (96) secured to a tab portion (95) of the gas catalytic combustion element maintains the temperature of the tab portion at or above the ignition temperature of the gas catalytic combustion element during periods of fuel gas interruption by the control valve. Vaporised constituents of the tobacco are drawn from the vaporising chamber through an aerosol accommodating tube (37) through a mouthpiece (38). A heat sink member (40) is located in the aerosol accommodating tube for cooling the aerosol and for condensing tar as the aerosol is drawn from the vaporising chamber.

Title: Subdomain name marketing
Inventor: JACOBSON CLIFFORD R
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2006-06-02
Abstract: A method for identifying an item or service for sale or distribution as a subdomain on a primary domain owned by the operator of the invention, assigning the subdomain name as determined by the buyer or lessor of the subdomain. A primary domain name of the operator is used as a classifying base, and adds subdomain names with unique identifiers for the item. Once such subdomains are assigned and in use, they may be accessed by searchers who are prospective browsers and buyers. When the unique identifier, such as the street address of a property, is entered into a search engine, the search engine directs the searcher to the subdomain of the operator. The invention secures a unique domain name and corresponding web site with subdomain web pages for the item. It customizes the web pages for each property with particular information about the item, and includes pre-packaged related information about buying and selling items and advertisements by ancillary vendors. By its use of subdomain names with unique domain names in specific markets, the invention disintermediates commerce by facilitating direct connections between sellers and buyers, and disintermediates online shopping by avoiding the biases of commercial search engines.
