  • Dispensing system with liquid level sensing and level-based actions
    Patent number: 11897754
    Abstract: A dispensing system includes a container, a holder, and a signal processing module. The container includes a body configured to store a liquid and a conductive strip coupled to an outer surface of the body. The holder is configured to receive the container. The holder includes an electrical contact configured to contact the conductive strip when the container is received in the holder. The signal processing module is in electrical communication with the electrical contact. The signal processing module is configured to receive signals from the electrical contact to determine a level of liquid within the container body based on the signals when the container is received in the holder.

  • AIR FRESHENER DESIGN FOR OPTIMIZED AIR FLOW
    Publication number: 20220105223
    Abstract: A volatile substance distribution system includes a fan having a fan profile. The system includes a housing that defines a fluid passage. The fan is disposed in the fluid passage. The housing defines a receptacle configured to removably receive a capsule containing a volatile substance member. The fluid passage is fluidly connected to the capsule when the receptacle removably receives the capsule. The system further includes a shroud surface that partly defines the fluid passage and that opposes the fan. The shroud surface and the fan profile have a corresponding contour.
