An aerosol delivery device is provided that comprises a control body and an aerosol source member. The aerosol delivery device includes a resonant transformer comprising a resonant transmitter and a resonant receiver. The aerosol source member includes an inhalable substance medium at least a portion of which is positioned proximate the resonant transmitter. The resonant transmitter is configured to generate an oscillating magnetic field and induce an alternating voltage in the resonant receiver when exposed to the oscillating magnetic field, such that the alternating voltage causes the resonant receiver to generate heat and thereby vaporize components of the inhalable substance medium to produce an aerosol. In some implementations, the resonant receiver comprises part of the control body. In other implementations, the resonant receiver comprises part of the aerosol source member.

A case for an electronic cigarette vaporiser, the case including an automatic lifting mechanism that lifts the vaporiser up a few mm from the case to enable a user to easily grasp the vaporiser and withdraw it from the case. The lifting mechanism can be spring-based. The case both re-fills the vaporiser with liquid and also re-charges a battery in the vaporiser.

An aerosol generating device and an operation method thereof are disclosed. The aerosol generating device may include a heater for heating an aerosol generating material, a battery for supplying power to the heater, and a controller for dividing a preheating period for preheating the heater into a plurality of sections and controlling so that more power is supplied to the heater in a first section than in a second section among the plurality of sections.

Provided is an aerosol generating device including a heater configured to heat an aerosol generating material; a sensor configured to detect movement of the aerosol generating device; and a controller configured to: count stop time corresponding to a time for which the movement is not detected during an operation time of the heater, and extend the operation time based on the stop time.

Disclosed is an aerosol generating device including a heater that heats an aerosol generating material and a controller that controls power to be supplied to the heater. The controller calculates a first power amount indicating a power amount used by the heater during a preset first time period after a heating operation of the heater is started, and controls the heating operation of the heater based on whether the first power amount is greater than or equal to a preset reference power amount.

An aerosol generating device includes a heater configured to heat an aerosol generating material to generate aerosol; a controller configured to: calculate a current flowing through the heater based on a predefined resistance of the heater and power supplied to the heater, measure the current flowing through the heater, and control the power supplied to the heater based on a difference between the calculated current and the measured current.

Some deck or patio areas constructed of pavers mounted on adjustable pedestal supports must remain snow and ice free on their top surfaces. The pedestal-mounted paver heating system is designed to allow easy installation of electric heating cable that is positioned against the bottom surface of pavers so that heat generated by the cable is efficiently transferred up into the pavers to raise their temperature enough to prevent the accumulation of snow and ice on their top surfaces.

The present disclosure relates to a heater in which a capacitive power control pattern is implemented, and an apparatus therefor. A heater comprising: first and second base materials that are separated in the vertical direction so as to have an internal space therebetween; a heater electrode pattern provided in the internal space; and a plurality of sheet-type heating elements provided in the internal space so as to be electrically connected to the heater electrode pattern, comprises a capacitance pattern for causing a change in capacitance in the region between the sheet-type heating elements according to a hovering movement above the second base material, wherein heater power to be supplied to the sheet-type heating elements through the heater electrode pattern can be controlled according to the hovering movement recognized in response to the change in capacitance.

An e-vapor apparatus may include a pod assembly and a dispensing body configured to receive the pod assembly. A vaporizer may be disposed in the pod assembly and/or the dispensing body. The pod assembly may include a pre-vapor formulation compartment, a device compartment, and a vapor channel extending from the device compartment and traversing the pre-vapor formulation compartment. The pod assembly is a smart pod configured to receive, store, and transmit information that can be communicated with the dispensing body and/or another electronic device. The proximal portion of the dispensing body includes a vapor passage and a through-hole. The vapor passage may extend from an end surface of the proximal portion to a side wall of the through-hole. The through-hole is configured to receive the pod assembly such that the vapor channel of the pod assembly is aligned with the vapor passage of the dispensing body.

A personal vaporizer has an atomizer module having a heating element and an atomizer cup for receiving vaporizing medium. A flow module is releasably attached to the atomizer module. The flow module intakes ambient air and directs the air into a vaporizing chamber at and adjacent the atomizer cup, where the air mixes with atomized medium to form a vapor. The vapor exits the vaporizing chamber via one or more exit passages defined through the flow module. Vapor is directed from the exit passages into a mouthpiece and further into the user's mouth.
