Abstract: A dispenser is disclosed that includes a pump having a pump chamber that receives a fluid, a pulsation dampener, and a discharge conduit. The pulsation dampener has a dampener housing with an interior volume and a dampener housing opening. A spring biased movable piston is located in the interior volume of the pulsation dampener and defines a variable volume headspace between the piston and the dampener housing opening. The discharge conduit provides fluid communication between each of an outlet of the pump chamber, the dampener housing opening, and a nozzle such that, when the pump is activated, at least a portion of fluid from the outlet of the pump chamber flows within the discharge conduit to the dampener housing opening. The dispenser is configured to, when the pump is activated, emit a substantially constant stream of fluid from the nozzle for at least one second.

Abstract: A multi-layer article including a first non-active state and a second active state, the multi-layer article comprising an outer layer having a first side and a second side, an inner layer adjacent to at least a portion of the outer layer and including a volatile material, and an upper layer including a first side and a second side, the first side of the upper layer being adjacent to at least a portion of the inner layer. The multi-layer article is folded upon itself in the first non-active state so that at least a first portion of the second side of the upper layer is disposed on a top of a second portion of the second side of the upper layer, and the first portion and the second portion of the upper layer are heat sealed in the non-active state.

Abstract: A carton blank includes a first main panel, a second main panel, a third main panel, and a fourth main panel. The blank further includes a pair of parallel lines of separation that extend through the first main panel, the second main panel, and the fourth main panel. The pair of parallel lines of separation are equidistant from one another throughout the first main panel, the second main panel, and the fourth main panel. Further, the pair of parallel lines of separation define a first tear feature that extends through the first main panel and the second main panel, and a second tear feature that extends through the fourth main panel. The blank also includes a single line of separation that extends through the third main panel, connecting the first and second tear features.

Abstract: A refill for dispensing a volatile material includes a bottle having a body defined by at least one sidewall and a neck extending from the body. The neck includes a rim at an upper end thereof and has an inner surface, a top surface, and an outer surface. A wick has a first end positioned within the bottle and a second end extending out of the bottle. A plug assembly is secured to the neck of the bottle and retains the wick within the bottle. A cap is coupled with the neck of the bottle. An underside of the cap includes a stop and a flange that form a seal with the plug assembly when the refill is in an assembled configuration.

Abstract: A dispensing system includes a housing, a discharge outlet, and a trigger having a grip portion pivotably coupled to the housing to rotate from a first position to a second position. The grip portion has an upper surface and an interior surface disposed below the discharge outlet when the dispensing system is in an upright position. The upper surface of the grip portion moves outward when the grip portion rotates from the first position to the second position to enable at least one of the upper surface or the interior surface to direct a fluid product discharged via the discharge outlet into an interior of the housing.

Abstract: A removable substrate for an insect attractant device includes a body having front and rear faces, a grip portion, and a base disposed opposite the grip portion. The removable substrate further includes a first lateral portion extending from the base, and a second lateral portion extending from the base. A projection extends outwardly from the base, lowermost ends of the first and second lateral portions are disposed below the projection, and an adhesive is applied to the front face and the rear face.

Abstract: A system includes a film processing module, a processor, and memory. The processor and memory are in communication with the film processing module. The processor is configured to dynamically coordinate movement of the film processing module relative to a moving web of film and to perform a function on the web of film with the film processing module.

Abstract: An improved remote insect detector is disclosed. The detector includes a pitfall trap that is adapted to trap a target insect within the pitfall trap. An insect funnel passage is located below the pitfall trap and is dimensioned to retain the target insect in a detecting position. An optical beam detection circuit operates to detect the target insect in the detecting position and operates to generate a detection signal.

Abstract: A method of applying a plurality of partial indentations to at least one sidewall of a reclosable pouch includes providing a double roller mechanism having a first roller wheel and a second roller wheel including complementary opposing male and female embossing surfaces, and applying a plurality of partial indentations to a first surface or a second surface of the first sidewall. The partial indentations partially extend into the one of a first surface and a second surface of the first sidewall, include a single row of partial indentations that extends longitudinally between opposite ends of a first interlocking member in at least one of an area that is above the first interlocking member extending from the first surface of the first sidewall and below the top edge of the first sidewall, and an area that is below the first interlocking member extending from the first surface of the first sidewall.
