The present disclosure relates to a unique and novel antibacterial and antiviral decontamination system that can be integrated into an existing HVAC system in a vehicle, and that can be used to decontaminate and sanitize the interior of the vehicle in a safe, efficient and thorough manner. The system may be controlled manually via a switch within the cabin of the vehicle, or remotely via, for example, a smart device. The system comprises a replaceable and refillable cartridge that contains an antibacterial, antiviral, sanitizing solution, and a vaporizer that is used to vaporize the solution into a fine mist that is then dispersed throughout the interior of the vehicle via the existing HVAC system.

A whole-body or whole-room voluminous antiviral and antibacterial airborne disinfection system is disclosed which includes a sterilization chamber, including a nozzle disposed in the sterilization chamber, a tank disposed outside the sterilization chamber, the tank is adapted to hold a photosensitizer fluid of edible food dyes, a light source within the sterilization chamber adapted to flood the sterilization chamber with light; and a nozzle adapted to release the photosensitizer fluid aerosols and generate reactive oxygen species in a fog-like dispersion.

A scent dispenser may comprise a vial retaining mechanism, a heating element, vial sensor, and a controller. The vial retaining mechanism includes a vial coupling that removeably retains a vial containing a scented solution. The includes a wick extending from a cavity of the vial through an opening of a neck of the vial. The heating element is shaped to receive and heat the wick of the vial. The vial sensor includes an array of sensor pads that are arranged in alignment with the vial retained by the vial coupling. The controller is electrically coupled to the heating element and electrically coupled to the array of sensor pads. The controller regulates a temperature level of the heating element, and receives signals from the array of sensor pads and processing the signals to determine a fluid level of the vial.

A portable, heated scent, odor, and/or molecule dispense system is provided, as well as devices and methods for doing the same. The portable systems and methods to dispense molecules may contain a liquid, gel, solid, foam, or other material-based formulation so as to attract, repel, kill, mask, or otherwise use the molecules. The portable system and methods may include a housing; a molecule holding pad in the housing; a first chemical reaction heat source in the housing; and a second chemical reaction heat source in the housing, wherein the molecule holding pad is arranged between the first chemical reaction heat source and the second chemical reaction heat source, and wherein the first chemical reaction heat source and the second chemical reaction heat source are each reactive to oxygen.

An electric plug type fragrance liquid heating and diffusing device includes an aroma bottle with a carrier having capillary pores for absorbing an aroma liquid, and a heater for heating the aroma liquid in the capillary pores of the carrier to dissipate the aromatic molecules into the outside air. When the aroma liquid is used up, the aroma bottle can be easily and rapidly detached for replacement. The aroma liquid absorbed by the carrier will not flow out of the carrier even if the aroma bottle is tilted or dumped during use or movement, ensuring safe use.

The aroma component volatilization device includes a bag containing a heating element that generates heat when exposed to air. At least one surface of the bag is composed of a thermally conductive sheet and a holding sheet. The thermally conductive sheet includes an aluminum layer containing aluminum on at least one entire surface of the sheet. An aroma component L is applied to the holding sheet. The thermally conductive sheet is disposed on the heating element side.

A scent dispenser may comprise a vial retaining mechanism, a heating element, vial sensor, and a controller. The vial retaining mechanism includes a vial coupling that removeably retains a vial containing a scented solution. The includes a wick extending from a cavity of the vial through an opening of a neck of the vial. The heating element is shaped to receive and heat the wick of the vial. The vial sensor includes an array of sensor pads that are arranged in alignment with the vial retained by the vial coupling. The controller is electrically coupled to the heating element and electrically coupled to the array of sensor pads. The controller regulates a temperature level of the heating element, and receives signals from the array of sensor pads and processing the signals to determine a fluid level of the vial.

Methods, devices and systems are described for digitally creating new scents or digitally dispensing gas, vapor, or liquid substances. A device includes a container or replaceable cartridge including one or more chambers containing one or more scented substances; a housing structured to include a compartment to hold the cartridge, an opening to allow the one or more scented or unscented substances to dispense to an outer environment from the device, and one or more transporting channels formed between the compartment and the opening, in which each of the one or more transporting channels is configured to deliver a scented substance from the corresponding chamber to the opening for delivering a scent from the one or more scented substances; and an actuator switch arranged in a corresponding transporting channel and rapidly operable to move between an open position and closed position based on an applied signal to selectively allow passage of the scented or unscented substance from the corresponding transporting path.

A method of treating the air with a sanitizing composition is provided. The method includes dispensing a sanitizing composition in the form of liquid particles and vapor from a dispensing device; circulating the vapor into the air; removing at least a portion of the liquid particles dispensed from the dispensing device; and reducing the level of airborne microorganisms in the air.

An air sanitizing system is provided. The air sanitizing system includes a dispensing device configured to dispense a sanitizing composition into liquid particles and vapor. The air sanitizing system also includes a fan that is configured to disperse the vapor of sanitizing composition into the air. The air sanitizing system includes a filtering device configured to remove at least a portion of the liquid particles.
