The vaporizer may also include an electronics module for controlling delivery of power to the cartridges based on a selected operating mode. Certain embodiments can include a locating system to identify a current location of the device, a dosing system to indicate when the device is in use and/or to provide accurate dosing, and/or an indication system to signify a current operating mode or status of the device.

Abstract: An inhalant dispensing system is provided, comprising an inhalant delivery apparatus having a main body, a lower body coupled to the main body and comprising a mouthpiece, and an inhalant delivery mechanism disposed within the main body and configured to deliver an aerosolized solution to the mouthpiece for user inhalation; and a lock out system configured to selectively prevent delivery of the aerosolized solution to the mouthpiece. The inhalant delivery apparatus may be assembled by inserting a portion of the inhalant delivery mechanism into the main body. The lower body may be rotatably coupled to the main body and moveable between a dispensing position and a storage position. The system may be used to control and monitor dosages of a solution contained within a smart canister and administered from the canister via an inhaler, to prevent accidental or unwanted usage of the canister and/or over-dosing.

Abstract: An intelligent inhalant dispensing system comprising a smart substance delivery component configured to provide information identifying the specific substance stored therein for inhaling, and a smart inhalation device configured to receive the substance identifying information from the substance delivery component and adjust one or more settings of the inhalation device based thereon. The adjustable settings of the inhalation device can include heating temperature and duration, and/or dosage amount, and each substance may have different recommended values for these settings. The system can further customize the adjustable settings of the inhalation device based on user-specific settings, such as user profile information. The inhalation device can also be configured to track, monitor, and control usage of the cartridge.

Abstract: An acoustic ceiling tile and a dynamic acoustic ceiling system that includes multiple ceiling tiles that can be quickly and easily installed onto ceiling structures utilizing attached or embedded magnetic assemblies to provide an aesthetically pleasing image, such as an fluctuating image, along with a reduction in unwanted noise or room acoustics, wherein the attached or embedded magnetic assemblies are configured to be removed from the ceiling tile, and then configured to be easily placed or located onto a different location on the ceiling tile as needed, to allow for optimal installation of the ceiling tile onto the ceiling structure.
