Abstract: The present invention provides a connector for push-connecting a cartridge containing vaporizable material, such as a 510-cartridge, to a power-supplying device. The connector includes a housing containing electrical contacts, a cartridge-receiving end for receiving a conductive end of the cartridge, and a flexible, preferably silicone, ring connected to the cartridge receiving end of the housing for retaining the conductive end of the cartridge inserted therethrough against the electrical contacts. The ring is preferably part of a silicon boot that houses the housing.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method for vaporizing a product of a plurality of different products including receiving, by a processor of a vaporizing device, a desired dosage amount that is indicative of an amount of a compound to release during one or more inhalation events. The method includes determining, by the processor, an occurrence of a current inhalation event and during the current inhalation event determining, by the processor, an inhalation pressure being applied to a container that contains the product; determining, by the processor, a predicted dosage that is indicative of a predicted amount of the compound that has been released in the vapor during the current inhalation event based on the inhalation pressure; and selectively adjusting, by the processor, a vaporizing temperature being applied to the product by the vaporizer based on the desired dosage and the predicted dosage.

Abstract: A system and method for wirelessly monitoring and recognizing people and things is disclosed. An entity monitoring and recognition (EMAR) unit at a site detects the presence of the entity, and in response the unit recognizes the entity and triggers an action, wherein the detection and recognition comprises the EMAR unit wirelessly communicating with a device associated with the entity without any action on the part of the entity. A site is a physical location, including a budding. The system also stores detection and recognition events and associates them with the entity, the time of the detection and recognition, and a touchpoint within the site at which the detection and recognition occurred.
