VAPORIZER DEVICE
A vaporizer device may include a vaporizer body configured to couple with at least one vaporizer cartridge including a first reservoir and a second reservoir. The vaporizer device may include a first aerosol generation mechanism configured to generate a first part of an aerosol by at least vaporizing a first aerosol component present in a first vaporizable material in the first reservoir. The vaporizer device may also include a second aerosol generation mechanism configured to generate a second part of the aerosol by vaporizing a first aerosol component present in a second vaporizable material at a second temperature. The first part of the aerosol and the second part of the aerosol may be delivered, via a mouthpiece, to a user of the vaporizer device.
SECURITY TAG
A security tag can prohibit unauthorized usage of a device or product. The device may include an electronic nicotine delivery systems (“ENDS”) device, which may include aerosol delivery devices such as smoking articles that produce aerosol. The security tag can prevent usage until authorized. Attempts at usage without authorization can result in the device being unusable. The authorization may include identity confirmation or age verification.
AEROSOL-GENERATING SYSTEM WITH PUMP
An aerosol generating system includes a heater assembly and a manually operated pump. The pump includes a hollow member with an inlet portion and an outlet portion. The inlet portion of the hollow member is configured connectable with a liquid storage portion. The outlet portion of the hollow member is in fluid communication with a dispensing assembly. The pump is configured to dispense a liquid material onto the heater assembly. The pump is configured to pump the liquid material from the liquid storage portion via the dispensing assembly and onto the heater assembly.
LIQUID-CONVEYING SUSCEPTOR ASSEMBLY FOR CONVEYING AND INDUCTIVELY HEATING AN AEROSOL-FORMING LIQUID
A liquid-conveying susceptor assembly is provided for conveying and inductively heating an aerosol-forming liquid under an influence of an alternating magnetic field, the assembly including: an array of inductively heatable longitudinal filaments arranged side by side; and an array of transverse filaments arranged side by side and crossing the longitudinal filaments transverse to a length extension of the longitudinal filaments, in which the transverse filaments only extend along a length portion of the longitudinal filaments such that the assembly further includes at least one grid portion and at least one non-grid portion, in which in the grid portion the transverse filaments and the longitudinal filaments cross each other, in which in the non-grid portion the assembly only includes the longitudinal filaments, but no transverse filaments, and in which length dimension of the non-grid portion is at least 20 percent of a length dimension of the longitudinal filaments.
IDENTIFICATION COMPONENT FOR AN AEROSOL-GENERATING DEVICE
An identification component for an aerosol-generating device is provided, the identification component including: a ring shaped body; a customizable surface; and connector for reversibly connecting the identification component to the aerosol-generating device, in which the identification component is a ring-shaped component that is configured to be mounted at an open end of a heating chamber of the aerosol-generating device. An aerosol-generating device including a reversibly connectable identification component is also provided. A system including the aerosol-generating device and a removal tool is also provided.

AEROSOL-GENERATING DEVICE WITH ILLUMINATED PROXIMAL END
An aerosol-generating device configured to receive an aerosol-generating article is provided, including: an elongate housing having a distal end and a proximal end; a light source; and a controller configured to control the light source, in which, in use, the proximal end of the housing points towards a consumer, in which the proximal end of the housing includes an illumination portion made from translucent material, in which the light source is optically coupled to the illumination portion, and in which the illumination portion is configured to surround the aerosol-generating device in use. An aerosol-generating system including the aerosol-generating device and an aerosol-generating article is also provided. A method of operating the aerosol-generating system is also provided.
A REFILL FOR AN INHALER PARTICULARLY A CANNABINOID INHALER
A refill for an inhaler, the refill including a cylinder with an axis and containing a pressurised inhalable composition. An outlet valve at one end has a hollow valve stem extending axially from the cylinder. A cap is fitted onto the cylinder at the outlet end and extends axially beyond the valve stem. The cap has an internal passage extending through the cap to allow access to the valve stem. The internal passage provides a guide wall to guide the inhaler onto the stem during the refill process.
DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS
Systems and methods of an electronic drug delivery system for use in a treatment program (e.g., a smoking cessation program). The delivery system can include a mobile platform and a hand-held inhalation delivery device having a controller circuit coupled to a power source, sensors, aerosolizer drivers, and a rescue button, and a pod removably coupled to the delivery device. The delivery system generates an aerosol mixture from substances in the pod in accordance with the treatment program, and delivers the aerosol mixture for inhalation by a user. The controller circuit individually and dynamically controls the aerosolizer drivers to generate signals that drive a plurality of thermal, or non-thermal, aerosolizers of the pod to generate individually tailored aerosol mixtures from multiple substances in the aerosolizer pod. The generated aerosol mixtures can have various percentages of the substances, and have different aerosol droplet sizes during different portions of the treatment program.
