Abstract: In one aspect, a system for recharging a refrigeration system of a vehicle is provided. The system includes a refrigerant delivery device configured to removably couple to a recharge port of the refrigeration system. The refrigerant delivery device comprises a controller, a refrigerant container, and at least one sensor. The controller is configured to communicatively couple with User Equipment (UE) of a user over a communication channel. The refrigerant container stores a refrigerant. The at least one sensor is configured to measure one or more parameters of the refrigeration system. The controller is configured to transmit, via the communication channel, the one or more parameters of the refrigeration system to the UE, receive, via the communication channel, one or more commands from the UE to perform a recharge process for the refrigeration system, and selectively deliver the refrigerant to the refrigeration system in response to the one or more commands.

Abstract: A product applicator assembly includes a handle, an applicator, and a product dispensing assembly. The product dispensing assembly is disposed at least in part within the handle and stores a liquid product within a product container. A puncturing device within the product dispensing assembly has a base and a puncture element extending from the base toward the product container. The puncturing device further includes a mating member extending from the base and secured to the product container. The puncture element facilitates rupturing the product container to release a portion of the liquid product into the applicator.

Abstract: A wheel of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, has a rim, a hub portion, and at least two spokes connecting the hub portion to the rim. At least two adjoining spokes are connected to each other by at least one connecting web which is arranged in a space between the spokes, is not attached to the rim and the hub portion, and extends at least approximately in the circumferential direction of the wheel.

Abstract: A wick-based diffuser is configured for diffusing a liquid volatile substance composition into an air flow path extending through the diffuser to disseminate the volatile substance composition throughout a surrounding volume (e.g., a vehicle interior). Diffusers may comprise a body defining a hollow interior and having an air flow path extending therethough; a reservoir; a wick extending from the reservoir and into the hollow interior of the body; and a closure mechanism configured to selectably isolate the wick and the reservoir from the air flow path extending through the body. Wick-based diffusers may be mounted to a support device via a low-friction mounting mechanism located above a center of gravity of the diffuser, such that the diffuser self-aligns in an upright orientation under the influence of gravity.

Abstract: An example embodiment of a volatile substance diffuser comprises a housing defining a housing axis; and a component carrying a volatile substance. The component defines an air passageway there through. The component is secured to an inner surface of the housing. The air passageway defines an air passageway axis and the housing axis and the air passageway axis are approximately parallel. In an example embodiment, the volatile substance diffuser further comprises a clip secured to the housing and configured to removably secure the volatile substance diffuser to a slat of an air vent (e.g., an automobile air vent, building air vent, and/or the like).

Abstract: A diffuser includes a clip that attaches to a vent of a vehicle air conditioning system. The diffuser also includes a hollow scented body that emits a fragrance. The hollow scented body extends along a longitudinal axis and defines a cavity. The hollow scented body is mounted to the clip such that airflow from the vent is in a direction other than parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hollow scented body when the diffuser is attached to the vent.

Abstract: A wheel of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, has a rim, a hub portion, and at least two spokes connecting the hub portion to the rim. At least one free space between the spokes is covered at least in part by a substantially planar covering element. The covering element is produced from two different material layers.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a product applicator assembly is provided. The assembly comprises a housing having a porous portion. The housing defines a hollow interior bounded at least in part by the porous portion. The assembly further comprises a sealed product container positioned within the hollow interior. The product container contains a spreadable product therein. The housing is at least partially compressible. At least a portion of the housing causes the sealed product container to burst and to release at least a portion of the spreadable product into the porous portion of the housing.
