Abstract: A consumable product for use in an aerosol generating device is disclosed, the consumable product comprising a foam matrix (302); and a packaging element housing the foam matrix; wherein the packaging element is configured to hold the foam matrix in a first, compressed, configuration prior to use of the consumable product in an aerosol generating device, the packaging element having a first sacrificial seal, wherein upon opening the first sacrificial seal the packaging element holds the foam matrix in a second, less compressed, configuration.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating system has a biosensor configured to detect a biological characteristic of the user. A controller provides health data based on the at least one biological characteristic detected by the biosensor. The health data may be provided to the user, used to modify an aerosol delivery profile of an aerosolizer, stored for later use, or may be communicated to other devices.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating system is provided, including an aerosol-generating article and an aerosol-generating device, the article having an upstream end and a downstream end, and defines a longitudinal direction and includes an upstream segment and a downstream segment, the upstream segment includes an aerosol-forming substrate having a substrate outer surface with a substrate outer diameter, the downstream segment having a downstream segment outer diameter greater than the substrate outer diameter, the device including a device cavity inner surface having a device cavity inner diameter, the device cavity being configured to receive at least the aerosol-forming substrate, the device further including at least one heating element, and when the aerosol-forming substrate is received in the device cavity, an airflow passage is defined between the substrate outer surface and the device cavity inner surface.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating system comprising: an aerosol-generating article (1), the aerosol-generating article comprising a single metered dose of an aerosol-forming substrate; an airflow pathway (108) arranged between an air inlet (110) and an air outlet (112); an aerosolisation chamber (116) arranged at a location along the airflow pathway (108) such that the airflow pathway passes through at least a portion of the aerosolisation chamber (116); and a flow controller (122, 124) for selectively controlling the flow of air through the airflow pathway (108), the flow controller (122, 124) having an open configuration in which air can flow into and out of the aerosolisation chamber (116) and a closed configuration in which air is substantially prevented from flowing into and out of the aerosolisation chamber (116); wherein the aerosolisation chamber (116) is configured to open to receive only one aerosol-generating article (1) at a time; wherein the aerosolisation chamber (116) is configured to close to contain the

Abstract: A composition comprising at least one high Tg amorphous resin with a fibrous filler shows improved melt processability. Addition of a sulfonate salt to the compositions gives increased melt flow as well as enhanced flame retardancy in a composition which is substantially free of bromine and chlorine.
