摘要： The present invention provides systems and methods for delivering a controlled amount of scent to a target user. Such methods and systems will preferably provide carefully direct boluses or streams of scent(s) to a single or small group of individual(s) using a bolus generator so as to avoid cross-contamination of scents with other persons and other locations. The present invention preferably delivers the bolus of scent as an air ring. The scented air ring moves through the air between the scent generating device directly to the user as a cohesive unit of air. This phenomenon is similar to a “smoke ring” exhaled by a smoker. The scent ring can be directed with accuracy to a localized target as small as the nose of a single user, such that the entire dosage can be delivered to only the user's direct vicinity. Such targeted delivery minimizes the amount of scent that must be delivered to achieve a desired level of scenting at the target location. Advantageously, the amount of scent that must be removed or dissipated from the user's area is also reduced. In another aspect, the present invention provides anti contamination devices that inhibit the contamination of the sequential delivery of scent chemicals.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供了用于将受控量的香味递送给目标用户的系统和方法。 这样的方法和系统将优选使用推注发生器向单个或小组个体提供仔细直接的香料或香味流，以避免与其他人和其他位置的气味的交叉污染。 本发明优选将气雾剂作为空气环输送。 气味空气环通过气味产生装置之间的空气直接作为空气的粘性单元直接传递给使用者。 这种现象与吸烟者呼出的“烟戒”相似。 气味环可以精确地指向与单个用户的鼻子一样小的局部靶，使得整个剂量可以仅传递给用户的直接附近。 这种目标传递使得必须递送的气味量达到在目标位置达到所需水平的香味。 有利地，也减少了必须从用户区域去除或消散的气味量。 另一方面，本发明提供了抗污染装置，其抑制香味化学品的顺序递送的污染。

摘要： Apparatus and methods for use with electronic activation means such as work or entertainment systems introduce precisely controlled amounts of aromatic chemicals, using metered spray technology, into the immediate vicinity of the operator. Control is provided by microprocessor circuitry so that aromas may be used at appropriate times and intensities by computer or entertainment sources. Multiple removable spray containers may generate numerous aromatic enhancements to a wide variety of applications.
