Abstract: A fragrance diffusing apparatus, comprises a hollow housing consisting of: a top dispersion cap with at least one outlet and a motorized fan disposed therein contiguously joined to a central body portion via an internal cavity formed by a cowling having a plurality of first inlet vents and at least one outlet portal connected to said dispersion cap. The device also comprises a lower base portion connected to said central body portion and the base contains an electric power source for running said motorized fan wherein all three sections are connected as an integrated unit. The motorized fan is positioned within the cowling so as to provide a strong up-draft of air through the central cavity and a ventilated fragrance tray in juxtaposition thereto to force-ably disperse the fragrance throughout the surrounding atmosphere.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the formulation and preparation of blowing agent powders and pelletized blowing agent concentrates that release water during the decomposition of the blowing agent components. The water released becomes chemically bonded to a dessicate such as calcium oxide (CaO). By chemically bonding the water generated by the decomposition of the blowing agent components, i.e., the sodium bicarbonate and benzenethiol sulphonic acid derivatives (OBSH), the foamed plastic develops a dramatically reduced cell size and hence smaller cell formation with improved surface quality. The dessicant materials are blended directly with the blowing agent components at levels that allow complete reaction with the water that is generated during the decomposition of the blowing agent components.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a bio-polymer based solid for the sustained release of an active agent into the air consisting of: a) a primary starched—based polymer; b) a secondary polyether block amide polymer, and: c) a filler component. d) one or more active oils The active oils can be one or more fragrances so as to provide an air freshening composition, a flavor to create a certain aromatic environment or a repellant such as insect repellants for the elimination of mosquitoes and the like. Animal repellants may be incorporated to ward off unwanted pets and wildlife outside the home and attractants may also be utilized in the production of fishing lures and the like.
