Abstract: A method of forming a liquid lens, comprising the steps of: positioning a first substrate defining a hole over a second substrate, wherein a cavity is defined within the second substrate and aligned with the hole; dispensing a second liquid into the cavity defined within the second substrate; capping the second liquid with a first liquid dispensed through the hole, wherein the first liquid and the second liquid have different refractive indices than each other; and translating at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate such that the hole is not aligned with the cavity.

Abstract: An aerosol delivery device is provided that includes a power source, a heating element, a switch coupled to and between the power source and the heating element, and processing circuitry coupled to the switch. The processing circuitry outputs a PWM signal during a heating time period to cause the switch to switchably connect and disconnect the output voltage to the heating element to power the heating element. The processing circuitry outputs a pulse of known current to the heating element, and measure voltage across the heating element, between adjacent pulses of the PWM signal. And the processing circuitry calculates the resistance of the heating element based on the known current and the voltage, calculates the temperature of the heating element based on the resistance, and adjusts a duty cycle of the PWM signal when the temperature deviates from a predetermined target.
