摘要:
Articles can be provided with a high level of odor resistance by applying a dispersion of a halogenated heterocyclic N-halamine in an inert liquid carrier to the surface of the article and allowing the inert liquid carrier to penetrate into the article. However, it is important for the inert liquid carried not to react with halogen atoms in the halogenated heterocyclic N-halamine, and for the halogenated heterocyclic N-halamine to become deposited on the surface of the article after the inert liquid carrier penetrates into the article. This method can be used to provide a high level of odor resistance to a wide variety of substrates. It is of particular value for use in manufacturing garbage bags having a high level of odor resistance. It can also be used to deposit other functional particulates onto the surface of substrates that have porosity sufficient to take up the vehicle, including oxidants that may display antimicrobial and enzyme inhibitory efficacy, including, but not limited to N-halamines, and toxin interaction potentials both through oxidative degradation of toxic substances in air and water, and through adsorption interactions, such as fluoride uptake by metal oxide microparticles.

摘要:
The disclosure herein concerns a method including receiving at a computer at least one target value of a scent parameter for an environment that is remote from the computer, receiving at the computer a sensed parameter of the environment, and controlling, via the computer, diffusion of a liquid from a source of the liquid in fluid communication with at least one scent diffusion device to achieve the target value of the scent parameter, wherein controlling includes setting or adjusting an operation parameter of the at least one scent diffusion device in response to the sensed parameter.
摘要:
Systems and methods for managing scent in an environment include disposing a plurality of scent diffusion devices within an environment, wherein the diffusion devices include a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a remote computer and disposing at least one sensor within the environment that transmits sensor data to the remote computer. At least one scent parameter for scenting an environment is received at the remote computer. The remote computer controls diffusion of a liquid from a source of a liquid in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of scent diffusion devices to achieve the scent parameter. Controlling includes setting or adjusting an operation parameter of the scent diffusion device in response to the sensor data.
