Abstract: An aerosol-generating device is disclosed. The aerosol-generating device of the present disclosure includes a first container configured to accommodate an aerosol-generating substance, a heater configured to heat the aerosol-generating substance, a shunt resistor electrically connected to the heater and receiving voltage corresponding to the current flowing through the heater, and a controller.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device is disclosed. The aerosol-generating device includes a cartridge having an inlet formed at a lower portion thereof; a housing, which has a reception space into which the cartridge is inserted; a base having a bottom surface and an inner circumferential surface, which surround a lower portion of the reception space, wherein the inner circumferential surface has a sensing hole; a flow sensor, which is disposed inside the housing, and is connected to the reception space through the sensing hole to detect air that flows toward the inlet from the base; and a flow guide, which projects upwards from the bottom surface of the base to surround the inlet, and is open toward the sensing hole.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device is disclosed. The aerosol-generating device includes a container having a first passage; a container head, which is disposed on the container and has a first outlet at a bottom surface to communicate with the first passage; a mouthpiece, which is pivotably connected to the container head and has a second passage; and a sealing cap projecting outwards from the mouthpiece, wherein the sealing cap closes the first outlet when the mouthpiece is pivoted to a first position, and the sealing cap opens the first outlet to allow the first outlet to communicate with the second passage when the mouthpiece is pivoted to a second position.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device is disclosed. The aerosol-generating device includes a first container accommodating an aerosol-generating substance, a heater heating the aerosol-generating substance, a second container configured to be rotatable and including chambers, a rotation detection sensor sensing rotation of the second container, and a controller. The controller determines any one of the chambers to be an application chamber through which an aerosol passes based on a signal received from the rotation detection sensor, and determines usage of a chamber determined to be the application chamber. The heater is heated to a first temperature or higher when the usage is equal to or greater than a first reference and less than a second reference, and is heated to a second temperature or higher when the usage is equal to or greater than the second reference and less than a third reference. The second temperature is higher than the first temperature.

Abstract: An apparel for athletic training is presented. The apparel is useful for helping to reduce fungal and bacterial infections resulting from most athletic apparel. The apparel may also be useful by enhancing low extremity circulation thus helping to preventing varicose veins while protecting the knees, tail bone and hips from trauma. The athletic training apparel 100 is preferably made of antimicrobial fabric. The apparel may have a knee pad to protect each knee, hip pads to protect the hips and a tail bone pad for protecting the tail bone of a trainee. Further a first and second footing for providing security and comfort while training may have a carbon fiber covering for the bottom of each of the footings.
