POWER CONTROLLER AND METHOD OF OPERATING AN ELECTRICAL SMOKING SYSTEM
摘要
A novel controller in an electrical smoking system and method, wherein the method includes the steps of: establishing a preferred thermal pathway to be executed with each heater activation responsively to a puff on an electrically heated cigarette; configuring a power cycle in accordance with the desired thermal pathway; dividing the power cyc le into at least first and second phases each having a respective, predetermined time period and total energy input for each phase; and adjusti ng a respective duty cycle (or other power-adjusting factor) in each phase of the power cycle responsively to a voltage reading of the power source such that the established, respective total energy input of each phase is achieved during the time period of each power cycle.</SDOAB >
