  • Patent number: 11178913
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a technique that enables the status of components in a smoking substitute device to be monitored through a portable communication terminal (e.g. mobile phone). The smoking substitute device is configured to communicate wirelessly with the portable communication terminal, e.g. via a wireless personal area network, to transmit component status information. The status information is processed either locally or in the cloud to provide feedback or other notifications to a user of the device or to other parties. The component status information is used to calculate a predicted remaining component lifetime. The feedback can enable pre-emptive action to be taken, e.g. before a component of the device fails or reaches the end of its usable life.

  • Publication number: 20180346175
    Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a liquid is disclosed. The dispenser comprises an outlet for dispensing a liquid, a reservoir for liquid, and a closure configured to engage with the dispenser and movable between a closed position in which the outlet is enclosed and an open position in which the outlet is not enclosed. The dispenser further comprises an arrangement for controlling liquid communication between the reservoir and the outlet, the arrangement and reservoir movable with respect to each other between a first configuration in which the reservoir is not in liquid communication with the outlet and a second configuration in which the reservoir is in liquid communication with the outlet. By requiring a second movement after removal of the closure accidental access or dispensing of the contents may be avoided or reduced.
