Dynamic Output Power Management For Electronic Smoking Device
Patent No. EP4183282 (titled "Dynamic Output Power Management For Electronic Smoking Device") was filed by Fontem Ventures on Dec 25, 2014. The application was issued on Dec 17, 2025.
Patent Summary
An electronic smoking device comprises an atomizer with a heating element, a power source, a controller, and a first switch connecting the power source to the controller. A voltage detector is configured to detect at least one of the power source's output voltage, a voltage drop across a reference element connectable in series with the heating element, or a voltage drop across the heating element. The controller dynamically adjusts the electrical power supplied from the power source to the heating element based on the reference element's resistance value and the voltage detector's results. This management unit ensures consistent aerosol generation and vaporization by compensating for decreasing battery capacity and varying heating element resistances, such as those found in carbon fiber bundles.
