Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for facilitating application of a substance, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the apparatus includes a container and an applicator. Further, the container includes an upper portion and a lower portion. Further, the lower portion includes an interior space and the upper portion includes an opening leading into the interior space. Further, the container is configured to contain the substance in the interior space. Further, the applicator is removably disposable in the interior space. Further, a traversal cross-sectional profile of the applicator is non-circular. Further, the applicator is configured for extracting the substance from the interior space. Further, the upper portion is configured for wiping an outer surface of the applicator. Further, the upper portion includes a wall for forming the opening. Further, the wall is configured for interacting with the outer surface. Further, the wiping of the outer surface is based on the interacting.

Abstract: A container for storing and dispensing loose powder has a jar, a multitiered sifting-dispenser, a dispenser slot, and a closure plug. The multitiered sifting dispenser is a rigid frustum-shaped divider that separates an interior cavity of the jar into two compartments. The dispenser slot traverses from a first compartment to a second compartment by passing through the multitiered sifting-dispenser. As a result, cosmetic powder that is stored in the first compartment can be dispensed into the second compartment and subsequently deposited onto the multitiered sifting dispenser. The closure plug serves to plug the dispenser slot. To accomplish this, the closure plug is held into place by the jar lid.

Abstract: A hydrogen fuel element (10, 110, 210) includes a heat-generating pyrotechnic charge (12) which comprises any suitable pyrotechnic material and an ammonia borane encasement (16, 116). The encasement partly (encasement 16) or wholly (encasement 116) encases the pyrotechnic charge (12). An ignition train (14) is powered by electrical leads (28a, 28b) to ignite pyrotechnic charge (12) to heat both the ammonia borane binder it contains and the encasement (16, 116), which itself includes or is made entirely of ammonia borane. Hydrogen is evolved from the heated ammonia borane binder and encasement. The hydrogen fuel element (10, 110) may be encased within a suitable housing (30) which may be made of a carbon open-cell foam.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a gas generation arrangement. The arrangement includes an initiating element in operable communication with a heat generating material. The heat generating material is positioned so that thermal energy causes the gas evolution material to decompose to evolve a target gas. Further disclosed herein is a portable power source having a gas evolution arrangement and a fuel cell in operable communication therewith. A control having at least one sensor is in operable communication with both the gas evolution arrangement and the fuel cell.
