    摘要: An aerosol generation device has a partially opaque portion for rendering an illumination unit non-visible when the illumination unit is not emitting light. An illumination unit for an aerosol generation device includes a plurality of light sources, wherein each of the light sources is configured to operate in a first power operation mode illuminating the light source at a first brightness level, and a second power operation mode for illuminating the light source at a second brightness level different from the first brightness level, wherein one or more light sources of the plurality of light sources form a contiguous illumination region when the one or more of the plurality of light source are emitting light, and wherein the illumination region is configured to provide to a user visual feedback that indicates a state of the aerosol generation device or a consumable used with the aerosol generation device.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an aerosol generation device and a consumable article. In particular, the invention relates to an aerosol generation device with an electrical interface for connecting with an electrical interface of the consumable article for determining the thermal properties of a heat transfer element of the consumable article. The aerosol generation device includes a heating element having a contacting surface providing a thermal interface, circuitry and an electrical interface. The electrical interface of the aerosol generation device is configured to be electrically connected with an electrical interface of the consumable article when the consumable article is connected to the aerosol generation device such that an electrical circuit is formed between the circuitry of the aerosol generation device and an electrical interface of the consumable article. The aerosol generation device is further configured to obtain a temperature of the heat transfer element by means of the electrical circuit.
