Non-contact temperature monitoring of heated tobacco products using curie point

Abstract

An aerosol generating device including a heater configured to generate heat for heating an aerosol generating product; and processing circuitry configured to cause the aerosol generating device to use at least one inductive coil to monitor a magnetic permeability of a temperature sensing element, determine a temperature of the aerosol generating product based on the monitored magnetic permeability, and control the heating of the aerosol generating product based on the determined temperature.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
