  • Patent number: 9358557
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a diffuser apparatus and system. The diffuser apparatus includes a gas supply line with an injection port facing a first direction for emitting a gas stream into a diffuser space. The diffuser apparatus further includes a dome-shaped surface positioned a first distance away from the injection port. The dome-shaped surface is in downstream fluid communication with the gas stream. The diffuser apparatus further includes a liquid feed line that is connectable in fluid receiving communication with a liquid source. The liquid feed line includes a suction port disposed on the dome-shaped surface facing a second direction. During operation of the apparatus, passing the gas stream over the suction port suctions a particle stream through the liquid feed line in order to form a combination stream.

  • Publication number: 20130064596
    Abstract: Applicator devices for applying topical oils to an individual are disclosed herein. The applicator devices overcome the deficiencies in the prior art by allowing topical oils, especially essential oils, to be applied using a roller-ball applicator. Exemplary applicators may include a topical oil container, and a roller-ball applicator coupled to the container. The roller-ball applicator may include, a roller-ball housing, wherein the roller-ball housing includes a well configured to hold topical oil for application to an individual regardless of the orientation of the roller-ball applicator, and a roller-ball within the housing, the roller-ball being freely rotatable within the housing. The applicator device may also include a cap configured to be removably attached to the container and to seal topical oil within the topical oil container by exerting pressure on the roller-ball when the cap is securely attached to the container.

  • Patent number: 8235627
    Abstract: A system for detecting and remediating a discharge of fuel from a fuel source facility is disclosed. The system can comprise a contamination detection subsystem configured to detect a discharge of fuel from the fuel source facility and a remediation subsystem configured to remediate contamination due to the discharge of fuel. A controller can automatically activate the remediation subsystem upon detection of a discharge by the contamination detection subsystem. The controller can automatically send a notification that a contamination has been detected and the remediation system has been activated. Alternatively or in addition, the controller can automatically send a notification that a contamination has been detected and the remediation system has been activated.

  • Patent number: 7705312
    Abstract: Energy beams with different wavelengths or wavelength ranges may be passed through a gas sample in a test chamber. Ones of the energy beams may have wavelengths or wavelength ranges that are absorbed by particular gases. To determine whether any of those particular gases are in the gas sample, the loss of energy, if any, as the beams pass through the gas ample may be determined. The presence of one or more gases that do not absorb the energy beams may be determined by placing a chemical reactant that reacts with those one or more gases and then detecting a chemical reaction between the chemical reactant and the gas sample.
