A device or system is provided that provides olfactory stimuli, and includes a piezoelectric vibration device that is used to produce scents corresponding to actions performed in a VR or AR environment, or other application. In some implementations, a user interacts with one or more game elements within a game program being executed by a game engine, and responsive to the interaction, the game engine may communicate a series of commands that cause a piezoelectric device of the device to generate scents to be experienced by the user.

An atomization device includes an atomization machine and an atomization bottle which can be disposed after use. The atomization bottle receives a liquid to be atomized to form a mist. The atomization bottle includes an atomization bottle cork to prevent leakage of the liquid. The atomization bottle cork includes an atomizer fee of power and any control module. A power supply and a control module are disposed on a machine body of the atomization machine. When the atomization bottle is coupled with the atomization machine, the atomizer can be activated by the control module to generate a mist. After the liquid in the atomization bottle is used up, the atomization bottle can be replaced by a new atomization bottle.

A hookah device (202) which attaches to a hookah (246). The hookah device (202) comprises a plurality of ultrasonic mist generator devices (201) for generating a mist for inhalation by a user. The hookah device (202) comprises a driver device (202) which controls the mist generator devices (201) to maximize the efficiency of mist generation by the mist generator devices (201) and optimize mist output from the hookah device (202).

The apparatus has an atomizer for the dispersal of a liquid and has an enclosed removable cartridge assembly with a reservoir of liquid and a wick with one end in communication with the liquid and a vibrating transducer in contact with another end of the wick; the transducer, wick and cartridge of liquid are arranged to allow a capillary volume of liquid from the wick to vibrate together to disperse the liquid in a direction away from the wick.

A mist inhaler device (200) for generating a mist including a therapeutic for inhalation by a user. The device includes a mist generator device (201) and a driver device (202). The driver device (202) is configured to drive the mist generator device (201) at an optimum frequency to maximise the efficiency of mist generation by the mist generator device (201).

An electronic device includes a mouthpiece, a bladder, and a mesh assembly having a mesh material and a piezoelectric material. The mesh material is in contact with a liquid of the bladder. The mouthpiece, the bladder, and the mesh assembly are located in-line along a longitudinal axis of the device between opposite longitudinal ends of the device, with the mesh assembly extending between and separating the mouthpiece and the bladder. A liquid-filled cartridge also is disclosed for use with an electronic device and includes a bladder; and a liquid contained within the container for aerosolizing and inhaling by a person using the electronic device. The liquid includes an aqueous formulation including a saline component, an acid component, and a nicotine component. The acid component includes a lactic acid. The aqueous formulation optionally includes one or more of a menthol component, an ethanol component, and a surfactant component.

A smoking device for aerosol-generation may comprise a device housing, a surface acoustic wave-atomizer (SAW-atomizer), a supply element, and a control system. The device housing may include a storage portion for an aerosol-forming substrate. The SAW-atomizer may include an atomization region, a first transducer, and/or a second transducer. The first transducer is configured to generate first surface acoustic waves that propagate along a surface of the SAW-atomizer. The supply element is arranged to supply the aerosol-forming substrate from the storage portion to the atomization region of the SAW-atomizer. The control system is configured to operate the SAW-atomizer to atomize the aerosol-forming substrate in the atomization region to generate an aerosol. A cartridge for such a smoking device and a method for generating an aerosol in a smoking system are also provided.

The driver device (202) is configured to drive the mist generator device (201) at an optimum frequency to maximise the efficiency of mist generation by the mist generator device (201).

A microfluidic delivery device is provided. The microfluidic delivery device includes a housing electrically connectable with a power source. A cartridge is releasably connectable with the housing. The cartridge has a reservoir for containing a fluid composition and microfluidic die in fluid communication with the reservoir. The microfluidic die is configured to dispense substantially all of the fluid composition in an upward direction relative to horizontal. The microfluidic delivery device also includes a fan that is connected with the housing. The fan is configured to generate air flow that converges with and redirects the fluid composition dispensed from the microfluidic die in a first direction to a second direction that is different from the first direction.
