  • Patent number: 11918697
    Abstract: This disclosure includes a description of a sanitizing system for sanitizing a mobile electronic device comprising: a housing; a sanitizer contained within the housing configured to emit radiation with a sanitizing effect; and an entry system with a default closed position, the entry system being configured to permit a mobile electronic device to pass through the entry system and then automatically return to the default closed position, the entry system comprising a first outer enclosure and a second inner obstruction; wherein the entry system blocks radiation emitted within the sanitizing system to a level acceptable for consumer use, or wherein the second inner obstruction provides more radiation attenuation than the first outer enclosure, and/or wherein the combination of the first outer enclosure and the second inner obstruction provides more radiation attenuation than the first outer enclosure by itself. Disclosed are internal reflectors to help distribute sanitizing radiation generally evenly.

  • Publication number: 20120174914
    Abstract: An electronic vapor inhaling device has an outer housing that defines an internal cavity having a proximal end and a distal end. A mouthpiece is located at the proximal end. A liquid storage chamber is defined within the outer housing near its proximal end and a battery compartment containing a battery is located near the distal end. An atomizer is positioned between the liquid storage chamber and battery chamber and is in communication with an electronic circuit board. The electronic circuit board is configured to receive input from a unique identifier associated with the electrical resistance of the liquid in the liquid storage chamber and automatically adjust the power supplied to the atomizer. The atomizer rapidly heats the liquid that is injected into an air passageway when the user inhales through the mouthpiece, causing the liquid to vaporize and allow inhalation by the user.
