Patent number: 11642939Abstract: A capsule of a volatile substance distribution system is configured for use with a base unit having a fan and an air outlet configured to direct air driven by the fan away from the base unit. The capsule includes a housing that extends along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end. The first end defines an inlet port and the second end defines an outlet port. The housing houses a volatile substance member. The capsule further includes an outlet seal member that seals and unseals the outlet port. The housing, when engaged with the base unit and with the outlet seal member in the unsealed position, is configured to receive the air from the air outlet that flows into the inlet port, past the volatile substance member, and out of the outlet port.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Henkel AG & Co. KGaAInventors: Anne Elizabeth Lindert Nixon, Daniel Nelsen, Glenn W. Kaye, Artem O. Kirshon, Kevin M. Hafer, Terannie Vazquez Alvarez, Jamie Scott Anderson, Martin Haupt, Jonathan Rolland, Pau Mauri Piñol, Roman Prager, Ismael Castellvi Anguera, Joan Marc Escudero Vericat, Amanda Williams, Alex Dupont

Patent number: 11413938Abstract: A capsule for a volatile substance distribution system includes a housing having a first end and a second end and that defines a longitudinal axis that extends between the first end and the second end. The capsule also includes an inlet port disposed proximate the first end and an outlet port disposed proximate the second end. Additionally, the capsule includes a volatile substance member within the housing. The first end is configured to be removably supported by a base unit with the inlet port fluidly connecting with an air outlet of the base unit for receiving an airflow from the air outlet that moves into the housing and across the volatile substance member as the airflow flows from the inlet port to the outlet port. The inlet port is defined by a tapered inlet surface that directs the airflow radially with respect to the longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Henkel AG & Co.

Publication number: 20200254851Abstract: A capsule is configured for use with a base unit having a fan and an air opening for an airflow of air driven by the fan. The capsule includes a housing with a port. The housing engages and disengages the base unit. The capsule also includes a volatile substance member and a seal member that is supported by the housing for movement between a sealed position and an unsealed position. The seal member seals the port when the capsule is disengaged from the base unit. The projection is received in the capsule when engaged with the base unit to support the seal member in the unsealed position such that air moved by the fan flows through the port.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2020Publication date: August 13, 2020Applicant: Henkel IP & Holding GmbHInventors: Anne Elizabeth Lindert Nixon, Glenn W.

Patent number: 9721176Abstract: A supplemental device for gathering information concerning the use of an injection device, the supplemental device having a first camera sensor portion for generating a first camera output indicative of a scene in the field of view of the first camera sensor portion, a second camera sensor portion for generating a second camera output indicative of a scene in the field of view of the second camera sensor portion, and at least one processor. The processor configured to use the first camera output to determine whether a rotational speed of an object in the field of view exceeds a threshold speed, if it is determined the rotational speed of the object does not exceed the threshold speed, to process the second camera output to identify a feature provided on the or another object, and if it is determined the rotational speed of the object does exceed the threshold speed, to refrain from attempting to identify the feature.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2014Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: SANOFI-AVENTIS DEUTSCHLAND GMBHInventor: Roman Prager
