Patent number: 11482873Abstract: A charging structure for a vaporizer. The charging structure includes a housing, a first electrical contact coupled to and extending outward from a first end of the housing, a spacer coupled to the first electrical contact, and a second electrical contact coupled to and extending outward from the spacer. The first electrical contact includes an exposed outer surface that extends in a continuous loop. The second electrical contact includes an exposed side surface that extends in a continuous loop and an end surface coupled to the side surface. Both the side surface and the end surface are electrically conductive. A vaporizer including the charging structure.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2021Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: CANOPY GROWTH CORPORATIONInventors: Mark Jones, Andrew Stewart, Yan Vermette

Publication number: 20220225677Abstract: A vaporizer cartridge including a housing with at least one exterior wall and an interior dividing wall. An inlet extends through the exterior wall. The housing defines a payload reservoir, an inlet flow chamber in fluid communication with the inlet, and an outlet flow chamber in fluid communication with the inlet flow chamber. The interior dividing wall is positioned between the payload reservoir and the inlet flow chamber, and the inlet flow chamber is positioned between the exterior wall and the interior dividing wall. A vaporizer having a base and a cartridge as described above configured to removably couple to the base. At least one magnet may releasably couple the cartridge to the base. The cartridge may have an activation chamber separate from the payload reservoir and inlet and outlet flow chambers.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2020Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: ROGER GALLANT, MARK JONES, PETER POPPLEWELL, COLIN TOLLS, YAN VERMETTE

Publication number: 20220030686Abstract: Control apparatus and system for controlling an output of a constant current driver are disclosed. A control apparatus is coupled between a constant current driver and a load, such as a lighting module, in order to add functionality to the overall system. The control apparatus is powered by the constant current driver and may control the dimming of the constant current driver by controlling the 0-10V dim input into the driver. The control apparatus may comprise one or more switching elements between the constant current driver and the load to allow for mixing of groups of LEDs of various colors or color temperatures. The control apparatus may include a buffer load to mitigate negative impacts of turning on the lighting module after a period of deactivation. The control apparatus can also be adapted to operate as a dim-to-warm module within a lighting apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2021Publication date: January 27, 2022Applicant: ARKALUMEN INC.Inventors: Sean MacLean Murray, Yan Vermette, Gerald Edward Briggs, Julien Girard

Publication number: 20200290791Abstract: A dispenser with a housing, a plunger, and an activation mechanism coupled to the plunger. The housing defines a reservoir configured to retain a liquid and a dispensing orifice in fluid communication with the reservoir. The plunger is configured to move through the reservoir toward the dispensing orifice to dispense the liquid through the dispensing orifice. The activation mechanism is configured to be moved by a user, and movement of the activation mechanism in a first direction causes the plunger to move toward the dispensing orifice. At least one of the activation mechanism and the housing is configured to provide feedback to a user when the activation mechanism moves a predetermined distance in the first direction. A method of using the dispenser.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2020Publication date: September 17, 2020Inventors: MARK JONES, ANDREW STEWART, COLIN TOLLS, YAN VERMETTE
