Abstract: At least one example embodiment provides s system for controlling a heater in a non-combustible aerosol-generating device. The system comprises a memory storing computer-readable instructions and a controller configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to cause the non-combustible aerosol-generating device to, detect an airflow in the non-combustible aerosol-generating device, apply a first power to the heater based on the detected airflow, apply a second power to the heater based on a target preheat temperature and the detected airflow being below an airflow threshold value, the application of the second power being after the application of the first power, and apply a third power to the heater based on the target preheat temperature and the detected airflow being below the airflow threshold value, the application of the third power being after the application of the second power, the third power being greater than the second power.

Abstract: A non-nicotine pod assembly includes a non-nicotine reservoir to hold non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation, and a heater configured to vaporize non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation drawn from the non-nicotine reservoir. A device body is configured to engage with the non-nicotine pod assembly, and includes a controller. The controller is configured to cause the device body to detect a fault event at the non-nicotine electronic vaping device, classify the fault event as one of a plurality of types of fault events, and perform at least one consequent action based on the classification of the fault event.

Abstract: An age and/or identity verification system for reduced-risk devices (RRD) may include a RRD, the RRD initially in an inoperable state, an identity verification server configured to perform identity verification related to an adult consumer, and a computing device. The computing device may receive adult consumer identity information corresponding to the adult consumer from the adult consumer, receive the UID of the RRD, transmit the adult consumer identity information and the UID of the RRD to the identity verification server to perform identity verification of the adult consumer, receive results of the performed identity verification from the identity verification server, receive an encrypted key corresponding to the RRD based on the results of the performed identity verification of the adult consumer, and transmit the encrypted key to the RRD. The RRD may change the state of the RRD to an operable state based on the encrypted key.

Abstract: A method of controlling a heater of a nicotine e-vapor device includes detecting, from a removable pod included in the nicotine e-vapor device, power information indicating a first power level and a second power level; and supplying power to the heater based on the detected power information by determining a first amount of power based on the first power level, supplying the first amount of power to the heater during a first operation mode of the heater, determining a second amount of power based on the second power level, and supplying the second amount of power to the heater during a second operation mode of the heater, the second amount of power being higher than the first amount of power.

Abstract: A heater system for a non-combustible aerosol-generating device includes a heater element and a fuse element. The heater element has a heating region, a first terminal and a second terminal. The fuse element is electrically connected between the first terminal and the second terminal in parallel with the heater element. The fuse element has a region configured to induce a localized hot spot to cause the fuse element to open circuit in response to power applied between the first terminal and the second terminal.

Abstract: A method of controlling a hot wire anemometer (HWA) of a nicotine e-vaping device includes controlling, by a first PID controller, a level of power applied by the nicotine e-vaping device to the HWA based on a temperature of a heated element of the HWA and a temperature setpoint; generating a puff detection signal indicating whether or not a puff is currently occurring with respect to the nicotine e-vaping device; and while the puff detection signal indicates that a puff is not currently occurring with respect to the nicotine e-vaping device, detecting, by a second PID controller, a change in an ambient temperature of the HWA, and controlling, by the second PID controller, the temperature setpoint such that the temperature setpoint changes in response to the detected change in the ambient temperature of the HWA.
