  • Aerosol Delivery Device Including a Wirelessly-Heated Atomizer and Related Method
    Publication number: 20210045455
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an aerosol delivery device configured to wirelessly heat an atomizer. The aerosol delivery device may include a control body and a cartridge. The control body may include an induction transmitter. The cartridge may include an induction receiver and an aerosol precursor composition. When electrical current is directed to the induction transmitter, the induction receiver may be inductively heated. The heat produced by the induction receiver may form an aerosol from the aerosol precursor composition at the substrate. Related methods are also provided.
    Type: Application

  • Colorimetric aerosol and gas detection for aerosol delivery device
    Patent number: 10512286
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a colorimetric aerosol detection device for detecting target compounds in an aerosol generated from an aerosol delivery device. The colorimetric aerosol detection device includes a tubular housing with a first open end (which can be configured to engage a mouthpiece of the aerosol delivery device) and a second open end (which may be configured as a mouthpiece) such that a stream of vapor can pass through the tubular housing in a direction from the first open end to the second open end. A colorimetric indicator material is located inside the tubular housing, and is configured to signal detection of a target compound in the vapor stream by a change in color visible to the user through a transparent or translucent portion of the tubular housing.

  • COLORIMETRIC AEROSOL AND GAS DETECTION FOR AEROSOL DELIVERY DEVICE
    Publication number: 20190120769
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a colorimetric aerosol detection device for detecting target compounds in an aerosol generated from an aerosol delivery device. The colorimetric aerosol detection device includes a tubular housing with a first open end and a second open end such that a stream of vapor can pass through the tubular housing in a direction from the first end to the second end. The first open end is configured to engage a mouthpiece of the aerosol delivery device and the second open end is configured as a mouthpiece through which a user can draw a stream of vapor generated by the aerosol delivery device into the tubular housing by suction. A colorimetric indicator material is located inside the tubular housing configured to signal detection of a target compound in the vapor stream by a change in color visible to the user through a transparent or translucent portion of the tubular housing.
