ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PRODUCING AN AEROSOL FOR INHALATION BY A PERSON
An electronic device for producing an aerosol for inhalation has a mouthpiece and an elongate housing. The mouthpiece attaches to an upper end of the housing. The housing contains a liquid container and a mesh assembly with mesh material that vibrates when actuated for aerosolizing liquid from the container. The mouthpiece covers the mesh assembly at the upper end of the housing, and the aerosol produced by the mesh assembly may be inhaled through the mouthpiece by a person. The housing contains circuitry and a power supply, preferably are located in a lower half of the housing, for actuating vibration of the mesh material. Electrical pathways connect the mesh assembly with the circuitry and power supply. The power supply may comprise one or more batteries located at the lower end of the housing. The aerosol is produced without smoldering of the liquid and without using a compressed gas.

No heat, no-burn smoking article
An aerosol delivery device is provided that includes at least one housing, a nozzle, a piezoelectric or piezomagnetic mesh, a control component, and a transport element. The at least one housing may enclose a reservoir configured to retain an aerosol precursor composition. The nozzle may be coupled to the housing to discharge aerosol precursor composition from the reservoir. The piezoelectric or piezomagnetic mesh may comprise a piezoelectric or piezomagnetic material and a mesh. The control component may include a microprocessor coupled to and configured to drive the piezoelectric or piezomagnetic material to vibrate and cause a discharge of components of the aerosol precursor composition through the mesh and thereby produce an aerosol for inhalation by a user. And the transport element may be configured to control an amount of aerosol precursor composition delivered from the reservoir to the mesh.
FRAGRANCE GENERATION DEVICE
An accurately mixed fragrance can be provided. A fragrance generation device includes: a first ultrasonic vibrator provided in a water container that contains water and used for atomizing the water; a first emission hole used for emitting the water atomized by the first ultrasonic vibrator; a plurality of second ultrasonic vibrators provided in a plurality of perfume containers that individually contain multiple types of perfumes, respectively, and used for atomizing the perfumes; a plurality of second emission holes arranged around the first emission hole and used for emitting the perfumes atomized by the plurality of second ultrasonic vibrators; and a control unit configured to control driving of the first ultrasonic vibrator and the second ultrasonic vibrators.
Detachable atomizing device and container thereof
A detachable atomizing device and a container thereof are provided. The container is detachably assembled to an atomizing assembly. The container includes a cup and a flexible film. The cup has an opening arranged at an end thereof, the flexible film covers the opening of the cup, and the flexible film has a tension region and an outer ring-shaped region that surrounds the tension region. The tension region has a plurality of atomizing holes having an average diameter within a range of 1 m to 20 m, and the outer ring-shaped region is attached to the cup. When the cup is assembled to the atomizing assembly, a tension value of the tension region of the flexible film is increased from an initial tension value to an atomizing tension value by being pressed from the atomizing assembly, and the atomizing holes of the tension region are configured to allow liquid to pass there-through and to be formed as aerosol mist having an average atomized particle diameter less than a predetermined value. Accordingly, the cup and the flexible film that often need to be replaced are isolated from the atomizing assembly, and an expensive vibrator is disposed in the atomizing assembly, so that the service life of the detachable atomizing device can be extended.
