SMOKING CAPSULE WITH EMBEDDED HEATING ELEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240237724 titled 'SMOKING CAPSULE WITH EMBEDDED HEATING ELEMENT

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an apparatus and methods for a smoking device that heats a capsule containing smoking material using resistive heating by electrodes.

The smoking device has first and second electrodes.
The capsule contains smoking material with active agents and is surrounded by a metallic foil.
The metallic foil is heated by the electrodes to release the active agents.
A portion of the metallic foil is embedded within the smoking material.

Key Features and Innovation:

Smoking device with electrodes for heating a capsule.
Metallic foil surrounding smoking material for resistive heating.
Active agents released by heating the metallic foil.
Embedded metallic foil within smoking material.

Potential Applications:

Smoking cessation devices.
Medical inhalation devices.
Flavor delivery systems for vaping.

Problems Solved:

Efficient delivery of active agents.
Controlled heating of smoking material.
Enhanced user experience.

Benefits:

Precise dosing of active agents.
Consistent heating for optimal vaporization.
Improved taste and aroma.

Commercial Applications:

Medical devices for drug delivery.
Consumer vaping products.
Flavor enhancement for smoking accessories.

Questions about Smoking Device Technology: 1. How does the resistive heating by electrodes improve the delivery of active agents in the smoking device? 2. What are the potential safety considerations when using metallic foil for heating smoking material?

Original Abstract Submitted

apparatus and methods are described for use with a smoking device that includes at least first and second electrodes. a capsule includes a smoking material containing one or more active agents, and a metallic foil surrounding the smoking material and configured to be heated via resistive heating by the electrodes driving a current into the metallic foil. the metallic foil is shaped such that at least a portion of the metallic foil is embedded within the smoking material. other applications are also described.
