MEMS-BASED SENSOR FOR AN AEROSOL DELIVERY DEVICE |
摘要 |
An aerosol delivery device is provided that includes a housing, microelectromechanical systems-based (MEMS-based) sensor and microprocessor. The MEMS-based sensor is within the housing and configured to detect a pressure on the MEMS-based sensor caused by airflow through at least a portion of the housing. The MEMS-based sensor is configured to convert the pressure to an electrical signal, and output the electrical signal. The microprocessor is configured to receive the electrical signal from the MEMS-based sensor, and control operation of at least one functional element of the aerosol delivery device based thereon. |

1. An aerosol delivery device comprising:
a housing; a microelectromechanical systems-based (MEMS-based) sensor within the housing and configured to detect a pressure on the MEMS-based sensor caused by airflow through at least a portion of the housing, the MEMS-based sensor being configured to convert the pressure to an electrical signal, and output the electrical signal; and a microprocessor configured to receive the electrical signal from the MEMS-based sensor, and control operation of at least one functional element of the aerosol delivery device based thereon. |
