Abstract: Disclosed is a device suitable for dispensing air treatment chemicals by heating a substrate impregnated with the chemicals. The device has a heater in the form of a table where a face of the table radiates heat directly to the impregnated substrate. The substrate releases the air treatment chemical back towards the heater. A transverse air pathway permits venting of the volatile chemical. Also disclosed are methods for assembling such devices.

Abstract: A temperature regulating apparatus comprising, an airflow rate controller to increase or decrease the flow of air supplied from a central heating ventilation and air conditioning system exiting a duct into a selected area, a portable programmable thermostat and radio frequency transmitter, the transmitter transmitting a radio frequency command signal in response to the thermostat detecting a difference between the ambient temperature and the programmed temperature setting, a radio frequency receiver which supplies power to the airflow rate controller upon receiving the radio frequency command signal from the radio frequency transmitter, a channel selector switch assembly providing a number of unique radio frequency transmission codes that can be transmitted and received by the radio frequency transmitter and radio frequency receiver, and at least two thermostatic switch for deactivating the airflow rate controller when the duct air temperature is within a predetermined upper and lower temperature range.

Abstract: An air conditioner having a controller configured to process multiple temperature inputs, to provide a cycle of operation to provide comfort during sleeping, to provide an automatic cycle of operation wherein a burst of cooling air is provided on demand and/or which is configured to receive and respond to remote signals having different protocols.
