Abstract
Various embodiments of the present technology may provide methods and apparatus for controlling an atomizer. The methods and apparatus for controlling an atomizer may be integrated within an electronic device. An embodiment of the system may include a control circuit responsive to an input signal from a sensor. The control circuit may be configured to determine a temperature event according to the input signal and a criteria. The control circuit may be further configured to generate an output signal according to the temperature event.
