  • Publication number: 20220030967
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scenting masks for providing a scent to a user include a mask system having a mask with an interior surface, an exterior surface, a right ear loop, and a left ear loop. Mask systems can also include a scenting assembly having a scented portion and an adhesive portion, where the scented portion includes an absorbent patch impregnated with a scented substance. The adhesive portion of the scenting system can be attached with the interior surface of the mask, such that when the mask system is worn by the user, aromatic molecules of the scented substance exit the absorbent patch and flow into the user's nose without the scented substance touching the user's skin.

  • Patent number: 9396825
    Abstract: A capsule for holding, irradiating, and eluting a material is provided. Methods of fabricating and using the capsule are also provided. The capsule may include a multidiameter tube with a first end region, a second end region, and a middle region. Washers and filters are provided in the end regions and the end regions may be sealed using various methods and materials with the end caps press fit into the end regions. The middle region is designed to store a material to be irradiated by a neutron flux source. The capsule components may be made from materials having a low nuclear cross section so that the capsule may be handled safely after an irradiation step is performed. The capsule is also designed to have a symmetric configuration as an elution and irradiation column so that the same capsule may be used to elute the material within the middle region of the capsule after an irradiation step is performed.
