    Abstract: An aerosol-forming substrate comprises a first material and a second material, the first material being comprised in the aerosol-forming substrate as a first plurality of discrete elements and the second material being comprised in the aerosol-forming substrate as a second plurality of discrete elements. The first material comprises an aerosol-former and has a first thermal conductivity, and the second material has a second thermal conductivity that is greater than the first thermal conductivity. The presence of the discrete elements of the second material in the aerosol-forming substrate produces a substrate with augmented thermal conductivity resulting in improvements in aerosol generation and delivery.

    Abstract: An aerosol-generating article (10) comprises an aerosol-generating substrate (12) and a mouthpiece (14) secured to a downstream end of the aerosol-generating substrate (12), the mouthpiece (14) comprising at least one segment of filter material (18, 20) and a liquid delivery element (22). The liquid delivery element (22) comprises: an upstream end and a downstream end; a deformable outer container (28) having at least one flexible wall (32) defining a cavity (40), the cavity (40) containing a liquid (42); and a frangible tubular element (30) mounted within the cavity (40) of the deformable outer container (28) and defining a longitudinal channel (46) extending through the deformable outer container (28) between the upstream end and the downstream end of the liquid delivery element (22).

    Abstract: A case for an aerosol-generating device is provided, including: a case housing; a holder to receive the device and being movable with respect to the case housing between a closed position in which removal of the device from the holder is prevented and a docking position in which the device is removable; a case power supply within the case housing; a case electrical connector to supply power to the device received within the holder; a charging connector to receive power from an external power supply; a sensor to sense a position of the holder and to generate a signal indicative of the position; and a controller to receive the signal from the sensor, supply power to the case power supply when the signal indicates the holder is the closed position, and supply power when the signal indicates the holder is in the docking position. A charging system is also provided.
