  • Publication number: 20240150099
    Abstract: A water-soluble film, comprising a first water-soluble film, wherein the first water soluble film disintegrates in water within less than about 24 hours and dissolves in water within less than about 48 hours as measured by the MSTM-205 at 20° C. The disclosure provides a water-soluble film comprising a first water-soluble film that disintegrates in water within less than 24 hours and dissolves in water within less than 48 hours as measured by MSTM-205 at 20° C. The first water-soluble film optionally may be further characterized in that it does not disintegrate in water for at least about 1 hour and does not dissolve in water for at least about 1 hour as measured by MSTM-205 at 20° C. The disclosure further provides a water-soluble film comprising a first water-soluble film characterized in that the degradation and/or dissolution of the first water-soluble film is adapted to be activated by consumer handling.

  • Publication number: 20230189418
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for sensor device. A sensor device may include a housing, a lens inserted into a first opening of the housing, a metal mask covering a portion of the interior of the lens, a passive infrared (PIR) sensor underneath the lens and the metal mask, and a light pipe around the PIR sensor, the lens, and the metal mask. Part of the light pipe may be positioned above an activation mechanism for a button. An airflow gasket may be around the PIR sensor. A filter circuit board may be under the PIR sensor and connected to leads of the PIR sensor. A control circuit board may include the activation mechanism for the button. A backplate may include a slot for attachment to a snap of a magazine in the housing of the sensor device.
