Methods, systems and apparatus for determining product use by acoustically sensing actuations of product dispensers to determine how much product remains, and, optionally, alert a provider when low product states exist.

A cleaning device includes a main body housing, a cleaning liquid tank, a pressure sensor and a flow controller. By arranging one or more pressure sensors on a gripping portion of the main body housing and movably fitting flow limiters of the flow controller with liquid outlets of the cleaning liquid tank, a control component of the flow controller drives the flow limiters according to a pressure signal transmitted by the one or more pressure sensors, such that a flow limiting area of the flow limiters fitted with the liquid outlets is changed. As such, when gripping the cleaning device, a user can control an outflow of cleaning liquid by a pressure applied to the one or more pressure sensors by hand during gripping, such that the liquid outflow meets use requirement for each single squeeze.

A hand washing monitoring system includes a sensor to detect hands. An identification article and identification sensor, a timer, and a screen to provide notifications to a user is also included. The identification article may be provided in the form of an identification card having an LED status light. The LED status light then switches between two different light colors depending on a sanitization status of an employee. Sensors are then mounted in different locations of a work environment which will then cause the LED status light to change color. In one embodiment, when a sanitized worker leaves a kitchen area, the LED status light changes color. The color will then return to normal only when the employee passes by a sanitization station to sanitize their hands.

A dispensing station apparatus, system, and method for liquid personal hygiene product, including, but not limited to, liquid (including gel) soap, sanitizer, disinfectant and/or cleanser, such as for sanitizing, disinfecting or cleaning one's hands, and, more particularly, that is touchlessly automatically operable to dispense a discrete quantity of the liquid personal hygiene product responsive to sensed presence of a person's hand along a predetermined dispensing path, including rapidly in succession responsive to placement of a succession of hands placed in the path. The apparatus can optionally be modular, to enable configuring to include one or more dispensing stations at multiple positions and heights on a housing of the apparatus, and it can be overall height adjustable, and can include a variety of accessories, including personal protection shielding between the stations, and dispensers for gloves, masks, tissues, etc.

A dispensing system comprises a first electronic sensor and a controller. The first electronic sensor may be configured to detect a first change from a first amount of a fluid product in a dispensing system reservoir to a second amount of the fluid product in the dispensing system reservoir. The controller may be coupled to the first electronic sensor and configured to receive a first signal from the first electronic sensor indicative of the first change. The dispensing system reservoir may be disposed in the dispensing system. A method for determining a remaining service interval for a dispensing system reservoir is also provided.

An intelligent extruding device for supplying cleaning and caring articles relating to the field of automation equipment is provided, comprising: a casing; a fixing device assembled on the casing for detachably installing the casing on the packaging bottle; a human body sensing device mounted on the casing for real-time detection of a human body and sending a control signal to the pressing device based on the detection result; and the pressing device mounted on the casing corresponding to the packaging bottle and used to receive the control signal sent by the human body sensing device to press or stop pressing the indenter of the packaging bottle. A pressing cavity for accommodating the packaging bottle is provided between the casing and the fixing device, and adopting the above technical solution has the advantages of wide application range, portability, convenient disassembly and assembly of cleaning and caring articles, and simple structure.

A reusable pump dispenser may simultaneously dispense and cool a product to a user. The product may be dispensed or dosed in predetermined and/or amounts desired by a user. The product may be cooled from an ambient temperature to a product application temperature. A cooling circuit subassembly may control the temperature, viscosity, and additional properties of the product, thereby providing a maximum benefit of the product when applied to the user. The reusable pump dispenser may eliminate microbes from the product and may provide a physical structure that may be held in a user's hand. The reusable pump dispenser may provide a reusable housing that may be easily replaced, refilled, and reused.

A display device (3) on a liquid dispenser (1), the display device having at least one display element (4) and a drive device (5) for moving the display element (4) between an initial position and a display position. The drive device (5) is provided with an interface (6), via which the drive device (5) can be connected to a dispensing device (2) of the liquid dispenser (1) such that the drive device (5) is automatically activated by the actuation of the dispensing device (2) of the liquid dispenser (1).

Exemplary soap, sanitizer and lotion dispensers are disclosed herein. An exemplary dispenser includes a housing; a receptacle for receiving a container; a container of fluid comprising soap, sanitizer or lotion; a pump in fluid communication with the container; a power source; a pump coupled to a motor and pulse width modulation circuitry in circuit communication with the power source and the motor. The pulse width modulation circuitry is initially set to cause a selected dose of fluid to be dispensed at a base speed. A sensor for detecting a parameter indicative of an actual speed of a dispense of the fluid is also included. When the actual speed of the dispense of fluid is less than the base speed or greater than the base speed, the pulse width modulation circuitry adjusts the pulse width to cause the speed of a following dispense of fluid to be closer to the base speed.

A water faucet system including a faucet having a neck comprising a water passageway and liquid soap delivery line, both integrated within the neck assembly. The water faucet system features a streamlined neck assembly that includes a water outlet or spout, located at the distal portion of the neck assembly, and additionally includes a separate soap outlet located at a predetermined location. The soap delivery (soap dispensing) is initiated by a user performing an activation event directed to a sensor system located in the neck assembly. In preferred embodiments, the sensor system utilizes touchless type sensors so to avoid any physical contact with the neck assembly.
