20090289127 | DEVICE FOR EMITTING VOLATILE COMPOSITIONS WHILE REDUCING SURFACE DEPOSITION AND IMPROVING SCENT NOTICEABILITY - A device for emitting volatile compositions comprising a capillary element, a channel in fluid communication with the capillary element, an emitting orifice having a forward tilt from about +5 degrees to less than about +90 degrees, and a decoupled piezoelectric actuator for emitting the volatile composition through the emitting orifice. In some embodiments, the device is a plug-in air freshener and reduces surface deposition and improves scent noticeability through improved containment of perfumes during the rest period. | 11-26-2009 |
20100084488 | ALTERNATING CURRENT POWERED DELIVERY SYSTEM - An air treatment device having a piezoelectric actuator powered by a transformer. The transformer has dual inputs comprising oppositely wound coils and input power signals 180 degrees out of phase. This arrangement provides a stronger drive signal to the actuator. | 04-08-2010 |
20100270198 | CONSUMER PRODUCT KIT - A product system comprises a package base unit and a package. The package base unit comprises a control element and a package interface operatively connected to the control element. The package comprises a package base interface, and a printed element. The printed element comprises a control circuit element and an output circuit element. Each of the control circuit element and the output circuit element are operatively connected to the package base interface. | 10-28-2010 |
20110113591 | CLEANING IMPLEMENT HAVING AUDIBLE CONSUMER SIGNAL - A battery-powered cleaning implement for cleaning a target surface by using at least one of a motor-driven beater bar or motor-driven vacuum fan. The cleaning implement has a cutoff voltage below which the beater bar and/or said fan is/are no longer operable to clean. The cleaning implement has a control which reduces voltage provided by the battery/ies to the motor before the cutoff voltage is reached. The reduction in voltage provided to the beater bar and/or fan vacuum reduces the rotational velocity, providing an audible signal to a user that said voltage provided to said motor is being depleted. | 05-19-2011 |
