Abstract: A fragrance dispenser (10) for dispensing a fragrance mist can be mounted directly on a commode, tank or other surface. The fragrance dispenser (10) includes an enclosure (11), fragrance holder (16) and mounting plate (18). The enclosure (11) includes a base (14) and cover(12) attached to the base (14) so as to form a housing around the fragrance holder (16). The mounting plate (18) is flexible and has an adhesive sheet (20) attached to one side for securing the dispenser(10) to a fixed object, such as a wall or around the seat of a commode. Pressure applied to the cover (12) activates a spray pump (46) attached to the fragrance holder (16). This action causes the spray pump (46) to compress with the assistance of a rocker arm (50) and spray a fragrance mist through a fragrance nozzle (40).
Abstract: A device having a thin metallic coating, such as tin which forms strong bonds to copper is provided on the bond pads of an integrated circuit having copper metallization; surface oxidation of the coating is self limiting and the oxides are readily removed, further the coated bond pad forms intermetallics at low temperatures making it both solderable and compatible with wire bonding. A low cost process for forming tin coated copper bonding pads is provided by electroless plating.
