    摘要: An aerosol generation device includes an indicator and a controller connectable to a battery and a heater. The heater is configurable to aerosolise a unit of aerosol generating material in an aerosolisation session and the battery is configurable to provide power to the heater for one or more aerosolisation sessions. The controller is configured to measure a charge level of the battery, determine whether the measured charge level is sufficient for only a predetermined number N of aerosolisation sessions by the heater, and to indicate, using the indicator in a first manner, when the measured charge level is sufficient for only N aerosolisation sessions by the heater.

    摘要: A method for controlling an aerosol generating device includes receiving an indication to start an aerosol generating session via a user input element; receiving a temperature of a heater measured by a temperature sensor; retrieving a session counter value from a memory; controlling the heater to perform an aerosol generating session according to the temperature of the heater and the session counter value; and when the temperature of the heater becomes lower than a first predetermined temperature, resetting the session counter value. Control circuitry configured to perform the method and an aerosol generating device including the control circuitry are also provided.

    摘要: An aerosol smoking system (100), comprising a smoking liquid cartridge (101) and an inkjet technology aerosol generation apparatus. The aerosol generation apparatus is configured to load the cartridge on a docking surface on its outer periphery and a die of the inkjet technology aerosol generation apparatus is located on the docking surface, and the aerosol generation apparatus further comprises a piercing pin protruding above the docking surface to bring smoking liquid from the cartridge to the inside of the aerosol generation apparatus. The smoking liquid cartridge comprises a smoking liquid container, a frame configured to hold the smoking liquid container inside a periphery of the frame, an extracting structure comprising a foam and a membrane, the extracting structure being located in the frame and in contact with the smoking liquid container such that the foam is enabled to contact smoking liquid from within the smoking liquid container and the membrane forms a wall adjacent to the foam on an outer periphery of the frame such that smoking liquid may transit through the foam to the membrane, a wiper mounted to the frame such to come into contact with the docking surface and configured to wipe the die before the smoking liquid cartridge is loaded on the docking surface, and a mouthpiece. The smoking liquid container is shaped such to form a passage for aerosols flowing between the die and the mouthpiece, and in the aerosol generation apparatus, the piercing pin is further configured to pierce the membrane.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a heater assembly for an aerosol generating device. The heater assembly includes a tubular heating chamber and a flexible thin film heater comprising a heating element track supported on a surface of a flexible electrically insulating backing film; wherein the flexible thin film heater is wrapped around an outer surface of the heating chamber with the backing film toward the heating chamber. The invention further includes a temperature sensor comprising a temperature sensing element configured to sense a local temperature, wherein the temperature sensing element is positioned so as to overlap with a portion of heating element track. Because the temperature sensing element overlaps with a portion of the heating element track, the temperature sensor provides a more accurate reading of the temperature of the heating element itself.

    摘要: An electronic cigarette comprises a control circuitry, a vaporizing unit, and a liquid store. The vaporizing unit is a unitary element comprising a plurality of fluidic channels configured to receive liquid from the liquid store. The fluidic channels are separated into a plurality of groups and each group of fluidic channels is thermally connected to a separate heating element. The control circuitry is configured to selectively operate one or more of the heating elements to selectively heat one or more corresponding groups of fluidic channels).
