    Abstract: An aerosol-generating system includes a liquid storage portion configured to hold a liquid aerosol-forming substrate, a first electrode and a second electrode spaced from the first electrode, an aerosol-generator including one or more aerosol-generating elements and a control system. At least one of the aerosol-generating elements includes one of the first electrode and the second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode are arranged such that at least a portion of the liquid storage portion is between the first electrode and the second electrode. The control system is configured to measure an electrical quantity between the first electrode and the second electrode and determine the amount of liquid aerosol-forming substrate held in the liquid storage portion based on the measured electrical quantity information.

    Abstract: A smoking device for aerosol-generation may comprise a device housing, a surface acoustic wave-atomizer (SAW-atomizer), a supply element, and a control system. The device housing may include a storage portion for an aerosol-forming substrate. The SAW-atomizer may include an atomization region, a first transducer, and/or a second transducer. The first transducer is configured to generate first surface acoustic waves that propagate along a surface of the SAW-atomizer. The supply element is arranged to supply the aerosol-forming substrate from the storage portion to the atomization region of the SAW-atomizer. The control system is configured to operate the SAW-atomizer to atomize the aerosol-forming substrate in the atomization region to generate an aerosol. A cartridge for such a smoking device and a method for generating an aerosol in a smoking system are also provided.

    Abstract: The aerosol-generating device includes a housing, and a power supply configured to supply electrical power to a heating element by way of a transformer assembly within the housing. The transformer assembly includes a magnetic flux guide, a primary circuit including a primary winding extending around a first portion of the magnetic flux guide and electrically connected to the power supply, and a secondary circuit including a secondary winding inductively coupled to the primary winding and extending around a second portion of the magnetic flux guide. The number of turns in the primary winding is greater than the number of turns in the secondary winding. The secondary circuit includes at least two electrical contacts configured to form an electrical connection with the heating element.
