Publication number: 20240090564Abstract: Features relating to a vaporizer body are provided. The vaporizer body may include an outer shell that includes an inner region defined by an outer shell sidewall. A support structure is configured to fit within the inner region of the outer shell. The support structure includes a storage region defined by a top support structure, a bottom support structure, a bottom cap, and a gasket. An integrated board assembly is configured to fit within the storage region of the support structure. The integrated board assembly may include a printed circuit board assembly formed of multiple layers that form a rigid structure and that include an inner, flexible layer. A first antenna is integrated at a proximal end of the flexible layer, and a second antenna is integrated at a distal end of the flexible layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Joshua Fu, Christopher Loental, Marko Markovic, Alexander Weiss, Alexander Ringrose, David Carlberg, Robyn Nariyoshi, Devin Spratt, Nicholas J.

Publication number: 20240057659Abstract: A vaporizer device may include a pressure sensor and an ambient pressure sensor. The pressure sensor may be configured to measure a first pressure in an air flow path in the vaporizer device. The ambient pressure sensor may be configured to measure a second pressure corresponding to an atmospheric pressure. The vaporizer device may further include a controller. The controller may be configured to transition the vaporizer device to a first standby mode when the first pressure is equal to or greater than the second pressure for a first threshold quantity of time. While the vaporizer device is in the first standby mode, the controller may be further configured to transition the vaporizer device to a second standby mode when the second pressure is a threshold quantity greater than the first pressure and no motion event is detected for a second threshold quantity of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Joshua Fu, Christopher Loental, Marko Markovic, Alexander Weiss, Alexander Ringrose, David Carlberg, Robyn Nariyoshi, Devin Spratt, Nicholas J.

Publication number: 20240000134Abstract: A vaporizer device may include a controller and a heater control circuitry. The controller may generate, based at least on a temperature of a heating coil in a cartridge coupled with the vaporizer device, an output signal for controlling a discharge of a battery of the vaporizer device. The battery may be discharged to the heating coil to increase the temperature of the heating coil and cause a vaporization of a vaporizable material contained in the cartridge. The heater control circuitry may determine the temperature of the heating coil. The heater control circuitry may further control, based on the output signal from the controller, the discharge of the battery to the heating coil. The heater control circuitry may be powered by a voltage rail coupled to a voltage regulator configured to regulate an output voltage of the battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Joshua Fu, Christopher Loental, Marko Markovic, Alexander Weiss, Alexander Ringrose, David Carlberg, Robyn Nariyoshi, Devin Spratt, Nicholas J.

Publication number: 20240000135Abstract: Features relating to a cartridge for use with a vaporizer body are provided. The cartridge mates with the vaporizer body in a cartridge receptacle. The cartridge may include a cartridge body defining a reservoir configured to contain vaporizable material; a mouthpiece coupled to a proximal end region of the cartridge body; at least one proximal absorbent pad wedged within an internal volume of the mouthpiece; a mouthpiece seal with sealing ribs; a cannula defining a vaporization chamber extending through the cartridge body; a resistive heating element; a porous wick configured to draw the vaporizable material in the reservoir towards the vaporization chamber; an internal sealing gasket positioned in a distal end region of the cartridge body; a lower support structure positioned in the distal end region of the cartridge body; and at least one distal absorbent pad configured to wedge within a recess located in the lower support structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Joshua Fu, Christopher Loental, Marko Markovic, Alexander Weiss, Alexander Ringrose, David Carlberg, Robyn Nariyoshi, Devin Spratt, Nicholas J.

Publication number: 20230285781Abstract: A modular reusable elastomeric half-face respirator device includes a modular housing and an elastomeric facepiece. The respirator device can include one or more modular straps, which can be coupled to the filter housing or the facepiece. The modular housing includes a modular filter component configured to hold filter media and to couple to the facepiece. A filter retention mechanism includes an interlocking bayonet-type ratcheting ramp configured to form a seal around the modular filter component, the filter media, or both. The facepiece can include an interfacing portion configured to seal to the face of a person wearing the respirator device, the interfacing portion having a geometry with an outward curvature allowing the interfacing portion to seal to the face by rolling back and increasing contact area between the facepiece and the face. A lock ring receivable in a port of the facepiece can couple the facepiece to the filter component.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2021Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Matthew Eli Carney, Aaron Garden Cantrell, Philip Jayson Brown, Jesse Jarrell, Che-Wei Wang, Jake Horsey, Stephanie Whalen, David Carlberg
