RATE OF CHANGE OF AIR PRESSURE TO DETERMINE USE OF AN AEROSOL PROVISION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023625 titled 'RATE OF CHANGE OF AIR PRESSURE TO DETERMINE USE OF AN AEROSOL PROVISION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an aerosol provision device that includes a power source, circuitry, a sensor, and processing circuitry. The sensor measures air pressure within the device, and the processing circuitry determines the baseline rate of change of air pressure and detects a puff event based on a predetermined difference in the rate of change of air pressure. The device also includes an aerosol generator that is powered by the circuitry to generate an aerosol for delivery to a user when the airflow indicates use of the device.

  • The device includes a power source, circuitry, a sensor, and processing circuitry.
  • The sensor measures air pressure within the aerosol provision device.
  • The processing circuitry determines the baseline rate of change of air pressure.
  • The processing circuitry detects a puff event based on a predetermined difference in the rate of change of air pressure.
  • The aerosol generator is powered by the circuitry to generate an aerosol for delivery to a user when the airflow indicates use of the device.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in electronic cigarettes or vaping devices to detect and control the generation of aerosol.
  • It can be applied in medical inhalers to ensure accurate delivery of medication to patients.
  • The device can be used in air fresheners or scent dispensers to control the release of fragrance.

Problems Solved:

  • The device solves the problem of inconsistent aerosol generation by detecting and controlling the airflow.
  • It addresses the issue of overuse or underuse of aerosol-generating materials by detecting puff events.
  • The technology ensures the proper functioning of aerosol provision devices by monitoring air pressure.

Benefits:

  • The device provides a more controlled and consistent aerosol generation experience for users.
  • It helps prevent wastage of aerosol-generating materials by detecting and controlling puff events.
  • The technology improves the overall performance and reliability of aerosol provision devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

an aerosol provision device is provided that includes a power source and circuitry, and the circuitry includes a sensor and processing circuitry. the sensor is configured to produce measurements of air pressure through at least a portion of the aerosol provision device. the processing circuitry is configured to determine a device baseline rate of change of air pressure from the measurements, and detect a puff event, the puff event defined by a predetermined difference between a rate of change of air pressure from the measurements and the device baseline rate of change of air pressure. an aerosol generator is powered by the power source under control of the circuitry to energize an aerosol-generating material to generate an aerosol for delivery to a user, when the pressure caused by the airflow indicates use of the aerosol provision device.
