Abstract: A fragrance dispenser includes a housing and a plurality of heating pans disposed in the housing. Each of the plurality of heating pans includes a corresponding heating element centrally disposed therein. A controller is disposed in the housing to control the amount and temporal distribution of power distributed to each heating element independently. Prongs extend from the housing to provide power to the controller. A volatile material holder is held within the housing and includes a plurality of reservoirs adapted to align with the corresponding plurality of heating pans, wherein each of the plurality of reservoirs includes a volatile material.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating an airspace with a volatile substance includes means for detecting the presence of a specific component in a volatile substance and means for controlling a volatile substance dispenser to dispense the volatile substance only if the volatile substance contains the specific component.

A volatile material holder is held within the housing and includes a plurality of reservoirs adapted to align with the corresponding plurality of heating elements, wherein each of the plurality of reservoirs includes a volatile material. A mode selector switch is disposed on the housing. A setting of the mode selector switch at least partly determines the amount and temporal distribution of power distributed by the controller to each heating element. The setting includes at least one of a sequential setting, a concurrent setting, and a combined sequential and concurrent setting.

Abstract: A modular volatile material dispensing system includes a supporting plate having a front side and a rear side. The rear side of the supporting plate is configured to removably attach to an electrical plate and a non-electrical plate. The modular volatile material dispensing system includes a cover plate attached to the front side of the supporting plate to form a compartment therebetween, which is adapted to hold a volatile material therein.

Abstract: A dispersion device for dispersing volatile materials includes a housing and a plurality of receptacles containing volatile material therein. The device also includes a means for generating or permitting two or more airflows that exit the housing and a switch for adjusting the airflows with respect to speed or path. The plurality of receptacles is connected to the housing such that a portion of the volatile material can be placed into one or more airflows.

Abstract: Active compound chip and process for the production of an active compound chip comprising an active compound which is bound at room temperature, at least one heating element being located at least partly in the interior of the chip and the heating element having an electrical resistance and at least two electrical contacts.

Abstract: A pest control method includes at least providing pest control dispensers (110), having at least one user-perceivable characteristic associated with a climatic season of the year; and providing a pest control agent (114) in the pest control dispensers, the amount of the pest control agent substantially having a useful life equal to a climatic season when the pest control agent is activated; wherein the changing of a climatic season and the characteristic of the dispensers combine to suggest to a user that a dispenser should be operatively replaced. Also, a pest control kit (250) includes a plurality of the pest control dispensers (110) described above.
