Abstract: A heating element for an aerosol-generating system is provided, the heating element including: a plurality of first filaments; and a plurality of second filaments, in which the plurality of first filaments are configured to heat a liquid aerosol-forming substrate, the plurality of second filaments are configured to convey the liquid aerosol-forming substrate to wet at least a portion of the heating element with the liquid aerosol-forming substrate, and the heating element is arranged to form a mesh, the plurality of first filaments being arranged in a first direction and the plurality of second filaments being arranged in a second direction, and the second direction being transverse to the first direction. A heater assembly, a cartridge, and a method of manufacturing a heating element, are also provided.

Abstract: A wire mesh layer, including warp wires and weft wires, wherein the warp wires and the weft wires form woven meshes and open up a woven surface. A connecting member is provided, which includes a thermoplastic material. The multilayered product is provided having such a wire mesh layer and a further layer, wherein the wire mesh layer and the further layer are connected by the thermally deformed connecting member. In a method of manufacturing such a multilayered product, the wire mesh layer and the further layer are placed on top of one another in a predetermined orientation. Due to the thermal deformation of the thermoplastic material of the connecting member, the wire mesh layer and the further layer will be interconnected.

Abstract: A wire cloth includes warp wires and weft wires which cross each other and are interwoven by a weave pattern. The warp wires are formed in at least two different configurations to define warp wires of first and second types. A length of the first type of warp wires deviates from a length of the second type of warp wires in relation to a particular length unit, with pores being formed in interstices between sections of two neighboring warp wires and crossing sections of two neighboring weft wires.

Abstract: A cloth comprising a woven wire cloth covering an extended cloth area wherein said wire cloth has a uniform, low-reflective surface in that it consists of oxidized filaments, and a method for manufacturing a cloth.

Abstract: A wire cloth includes metallic warp wires and metallic weft wires interwoven with one another, wherein the weft wires have each a diameter which is equal or smaller than a clear distance between two neighboring warp wires, and wherein the weft wires are constricted in crossing regions with the warp wires.

Abstract: A flat fabric, includes a body portion having opposite fringe portions and including first threads extending in one direction and second threads extending transversely to the first threads. One of the first and second threads is made of an electrically conductive material whereas the other one of the first and second threads may be made of an electrically conductive core material which is surrounded by an insulating envelope, or may be made entirely of electrically insulating material. Arranged adjacent the opposite fringe portions of the fabric, the body portion has two strips which are made by a different weave pattern and arranged respectively on either side of a central portion. The central portion is made of a weave pattern which is different from the weave pattern of the strips, so that at least a predetermined number of electrically conductive threads can be bonded together in the fringe portions.
