Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090139198OPERATIVE DEVICES INSTALLED IN YARNS - An operative device, such as an electronic chip, apiezzo-electric, thermal or optical device, is confined within the filaments of a length of multi-filament yarn. The filaments around the device form a capsule and the filaments can be bonded to each other to reinforce such a capsule. The capsule can also comprise a resin to provide protection for the confined device. An additional layer of filaments can be created around the original filaments. Methods and apparatus for confining the devices within yarns are described.06-04-2009

20100313901ELECTRICALLY HEATED SMOKING SYSTEM - An electrically heated smoking system includes a secondary unit capable of receiving a smoking article having an aerosol-forming substrate. The secondary unit includes at least one heating element and an interface for connection to a primary power supply for supplying electrical power to the at least one heating element during a pre-heating mode, to increase the temperature of the aerosol-forming substrate to an operating temperature. The secondary unit further includes a secondary power supply arranged to supply electrical power to the at least one heating element during a smoking mode, to maintain the temperature of the aerosol-forming substrate at substantially the operating temperature. The secondary unit also includes secondary circuitry. The electrically heated smoking system optionally includes a primary unit.12-16-2010
20110155718SHAPED HEATER FOR AN AEROSOL GENERATING SYSTEM - A heater for heating an aerosol-forming substrate includes a plurality of elongate heating elements arranged in an elongate array. The elongate array has a support end with a first dimension, a heating end with a second dimension and a middle portion with a third dimension. The array is arranged to heat the substrate to form an aerosol. The third dimension is greater than the first dimension and greater than the second dimension. An electrically heated aerosol generating system can include the heater.06-30-2011

20100163063Article Including Identification Information for Use in an Electrically Heated Smoking System - A smoking article includes identification information encoded on the smoking article. The smoking article can be used with an electrically heated smoking system having a detector for detecting the smoking article and distinguishing the smoking article from other articles based on the identification information. A cleaning article includes identification information encoded on the cleaning article. The cleaning article cleans an electrically heated smoking system having a detector for detecting the cleaning article and distinguishing the cleaning article from other articles based on the identification information. An electrically heated smoking system for receiving an article configured for use with the smoking system includes: a cavity for receiving the article having identification information encoded thereon, a heating element, a power supply, electrical hardware, and a detector capable of detecting the presence of the article in the cavity and distinguishing the article from other articles based on the identification information.07-01-2010

20090230117ELECTRICALLY HEATED AEROSOL GENERATING SYSTEM AND METHOD - An electrically heated aerosol generating system for receiving an aerosol-forming substrate includes at least one heating element for heating the substrate to form the aerosol and a power supply for supplying power to the at least one heating element. The power supply includes a voltage source, two or more supercapacitors, and switches between the voltage source and the two or more supercapacitors. The switches are arranged so that, during a charging mode, the supercapacitors are connected so as to be charged by the voltage source and, during a heating mode, the supercapacitors are connected so as to discharge through the at least one heating element.09-17-2009
20090320863ELECTRICALLY HEATED SMOKING SYSTEM - An electrically heated smoking system for receiving an aerosol-forming substrate. includes at least one heating element for heating the substrate to form an aerosol, a power supply for supplying power to the heating element, electrical hardware connected to the power supply and the heating element, and an interface for establishing a communications link with a host. The communications link may be a USB link and the host may be a personal computer.12-31-2009
