Publication number: 20240099368Abstract: An electronic cigarette (“e-Cig”) may include functionality for monitoring and controlling the thermal properties of the e-Cig. The system and method described herein may monitor a temperature based on a resistor (i.e. hot wire) near the wick and model the thermal cycle of an e-Cig. The model can be used for controlling the temperature of the c-Cig and preventing burning. The temperature control may dictate optimal conditions for atomization and smoke generation in an e-Cig while avoiding hotspots and burning to the atomizer or cartomizer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Altria Client Services LLCInventors: Eyal PELEG, David COHEN, Harold BROOKS, Dorron LEVY

Patent number: 10342261Abstract: An electronic vaping device includes a battery section and a cartridge coupled to the battery section. The cartridge includes a reservoir and a heating coil. The battery section includes a controller. The controller is configured to: calculate a first value of a heat transfer time constant of the heating coil; calculate a second value of the heat transfer time constant of the heating coil; compute a difference between the first value and the second value; determine that the difference between the first value and the second value exceeds a threshold value; and output an indication that the liquid formulation in the reservoir is becoming depleted in response to determining that the difference between the first value and the second value exceeds the threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Nu Mark Innovations Ltd.Inventors: Eyal Peleg, David Cohen, Harold Brooks, Dorron Levy
