Publication number: 20230226242Abstract: A fragrance dispenser can comprise a housing having a socket portion and defining a receptacle configured to receive a bottle having a fragrance-producing liquid therein and a wick extending therefrom. A heater can be disposed proximate to the receptacle so that, when the bottle is received within the receptacle, the heater is disposed proximate to the wick. A controller can be configured to deliver electrical voltage (e.g., pulse-width-modulated voltage) to the heater. A user input device can be in communication with the controller. The controller receives an input from the user input device that is indicative of a selected heat profile of a plurality of heat profiles, and the controller controls the power output of the heater in accordance with the selected heat profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2022Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: JASON HARRELL, TRENT HOVERMAN, PATRICK GUERIN, RICHARD WISNIEWSKI, SHELLIE CAUDILL

Patent number: 11368952Abstract: A gateway includes memory configured to store computer-readable program code; and processing circuitry configured to access the memory and execute the computer-readable program code. The gateway is connected or connectable to a low-power wide area (LPWA) network. The gateway is caused to transmit a common timing reference at a constant interval that delineates an epoch including timeslots assignable to network nodes and a free-for-all interval. The gateway is also caused to join a network node to the LPWA network based on the common timing reference and is further caused to receive a join message including a measure of received signal strength or quality of the common timing reference at the network node. The gateway is also caused to assign one or more timeslots within the epoch, a frequency, a channel, or a modulation to the network node based on the measure of received signal strength or other quality.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2019Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: SmartConnect Solutions, LLC.Inventors: David Freed, Christopher Posey, Robert Tepp, Ilya Kovnatsky, Daniel Richard Wisniewski
