  • Publication number: 20220053836
    Abstract: A vaporization device includes biometric recognition systems. A vaporizer device is provided. The vaporizer device includes a vaporizer body comprising a cartridge receptacle, a heating element, a power source, and a sensor. The vaporizer device further includes a vaporizer cartridge that is selectively coupled to the vaporizer body, the vaporizer cartridge comprising one or more translucent surfaces and a passageway between the sensor and the one or more translucent surfaces. The vaporizer device further includes a controller configured to determine, based on data from the sensor, whether a user is authorized to use the vaporizer device. The controller further configured to provide power to the heating element to generate an aerosol responsive to determining the authorization of the user. Related methods and articles of manufacture are also described.

  • Publication number: 20200000143
    Abstract: A vaporizer system may include a vaporizer device communicatively coupled with a user device configured to control the functions and/or features of the vaporizer device. The vaporizer device may serve as a replacement for traditional combustible cigarettes. Accordingly, the user device may be configured to collect usage data from the vaporizer device and generate recommendations to enhance and/or expedite the transition from traditional combustible cigarettes to the vaporizer device. For example, the user device may provide puff coaching to enable a more satisfying initial experience. Alternatively and/or additionally, the user device may recommend pod types and/or puff patterns that are associated with a reduction in overall intake.

  • Patent number: 9579771
    Abstract: Rotary tools configured to sand components and accommodate complex geometries thereof are provided. The rotary tools may include a rotary head and a shaft. Bristles and an abrasive material may be coupled to the abrasive material. The rotary tools may additionally include outlets configured to receive a flow of coolant to cool the rotary tool. A system configured to convert a flood coolant system to a through spindle coolant system is also provided. The system may include a hollow shaft with inlets and a redirector therein. A flow receptor may include scoops that receive coolant sprayed from a flood coolant system and direct the coolant through the inlets in the hollow shaft. Thereby, the coolant may contact the redirector and be directed downward through the hollow shaft to a rotary tool, such as the rotary tool described above.
