  • Patent number: 7407065
    Abstract: A method of discharging a plurality of aerosolized fluids from a plurality of aerosol cans to an ambient environment, including the steps of: fluidly coupling a first solenoid valve of an aerosol delivery system with a first aerosol can; fluidly coupling a second solenoid valve of the aerosol delivery system with a second aerosol can; determining a first release sequence of a first aerosolized fluid from the first aerosol can; determining a second release sequence of a second aerosolized fluid from the second aerosol can, the second release sequence being independent of the first release sequence; actuating both the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve using an electronic controller electrically coupled to the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve to release the first aerosolized fluid according to the first release sequence and the second aerosolized fluid according to the second release sequence to the ambient environment.

  • Publication number: 20040190883
    Abstract: A fragrance diffuser system includes a fragrance cartridge and a plug-in module. The fragrance cartridge carrying a particular fragrance, the particular fragrance having an optimum diffusion temperature associated therewith. The fragrance cartridge further includes a fragrance heater configured for heating the particular fragrance at the optimum diffusion temperature. A portion of the fragrance cartridge defines a first key member. The plug-in module includes a cartridge receiver therein and has at least a first plug electrode and a second plug electrode associated therewith. The cartridge receiver is configured for receiving the fragrance cartridge therein, and the first plug electrode and the second plug electrode are configured for providing an optimum electrical power supply to the fragrance heater. The optimum electrical power supply is based upon an amount of power needed by the fragrance heater to heat the particular fragrance to the optimum diffusion temperature.
