Patent number: 11950638Abstract: There is provided an electronically controlled, breath actuated vaporization device for generating vaporized material for inhalation by a user. The vaporization device includes a vaporization chamber for accommodating material to be vaporized and a mesh heater or other heater supported upstream of the vaporization chamber which is operable to heat air that passes through the mesh heater or other heater during an inhalation event. A closed loop control scheme may be employed to control heat generated by the heater to maintain a temperature of the air delivered to the vaporization chamber at or within a predetermined tolerance of a desired vaporization temperature for at least a majority of a duration of the inhalation event.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Zenigata LLCInventors: Christopher B. Harrison, Steven A. Rodriguez, Gregory A. Kirkos, Alga Lloyd Nothern, III, Dainia Edwards, Joseph N. Kennelly Ullman, Eric W. Healy

Publication number: 20170341830Abstract: A method and beverage container assembly for determining a level of liquid in a beverage container having a lid removably attached thereto. The beverage container assembly including a sensor configured to measure sound waves in the beverage container assembly. A processor is electronically coupled to the sensor, and to memory provided with executable instructions for causing the processor to determine the level of liquid. The executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive a sound wave measurement from the sensor, obtain a frequency characteristic of the sound wave measurement, and obtain reference information regarding a set of characteristics of the beverage container assembly. The processor may determine the level of liquid in the beverage container assembly based on the frequency characteristic and the reference information.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2017Publication date: November 30, 2017Inventors: Wataru Nishizawa, Brian W.
