Cartridge Orientation For Selection Of A Control Function In A Vaporization System
The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices comprising a power unit and a cartridge that is configured for engagement with the power unit. In particular, the cartridge can be configured for rotation about a longitudinal axis thereof so as to be insertable into a chamber of the power unit in a plurality of different orientations. Further, the aerosol delivery device can include processing circuitry that can be configured for detection of the cartridge orientation and execution of a control function assigned to the respective orientation.

- 1. An aerosol delivery device comprising:
a power unit comprising:
a power unit housing having a distal end, a proximal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the distal end and the proximal end;
a power source positioned within the power unit housing;
a first interface defined at the proximal end of the power unit housing; and
processing circuitry; and
a cartridge that is coupleable with the power unit, the cartridge comprising:
a cartridge housing having a distal end defining a second interface, a proximal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the distal end and the proximal end, the cartridge housing being configured for containing an aerosol precursor composition; and
a vaporizer positioned within the cartridge housing and operable to vaporize the aerosol precursor composition;
wherein the cartridge is configured for rotation about the longitudinal axis of the cartridge housing so as to be coupleable with the power unit in at least a first orientation relative to the power unit and a second, different orientation relative to the power unit; and wherein the processing circuitry of the power unit is configured for detection of whether the cartridge is present in the first orientation or the second, different orientation and executing a control function assigned to the respective orientation.
