Wherein more than about 50 percent of the foam bubbles have a size of between about 50 μm and about 250 μm.

An adapter (14) allows direct connection of a handheld spray device (10) to paint cans (12, 12A, 12B, 12C), of varying dimensions. The adapter (14) includes a cage (60) for holding the paint can (12, 12A, 12B, 12C), a cap (62) that connects the cage (60) to the handheld spray device (10), and a gasket (64) that seals the open upper end of the paint can (12, 12A, 12B, 12C) to the cap (62). The adapter (14) may also include a suction tube extension 66 that is connectable between the pump inlet (52) and the suction tube (54) of the spray device (10).

The method includes first providing a retention medium in a first element; coaxially aligning a plurality of elements, wrapping the coaxially aligned plurality of elements within a wrapper to form a portion of the aerosol-generating article, the plurality of elements including the first element, the aerosol-generating article having a first end and a second end, the second end being upstream from the first end based on an expected direction of airflow through the aerosol-generating article during normal operational use, second providing at least one capsule, the at least one capsule releasably containing a substrate, and inserting the at least one capsule within the first element, the retention medium being configured to retain the substrate after a release of the substrate from the at least one capsule, the retention medium being devoid of the substrate prior to the release of the substrate from the at least one capsule.

The disclosure discloses a connection structure and a spray shower. A connection structure includes a first object, a buckle and a second object. The first object includes a connection channel and a sliding slot perpendicular to the connection channel. A retaining wall and a plug-in channel are provided between the sliding slot and the connection channel. An insertion buckle is provided with a buckle body slidable in the sliding slot and an insertion piece adapted to be inserted in or retracted from the connection channel through the plug-in channel. The second object is inserted into the connection channel and is provided with a recess matching the insertion piece. The spray shower includes the connection mechanism. The connection structure and the spray shower are mechanically connected.

An apparatus for creating custom perfumes is disclosed. The apparatus may comprise a body that may hold perfume refills and a mixing chamber connected to the perfume refills via a plurality of valves. The apparatus may be controlled by a microcontroller. The apparatus may receive custom formulas for creating custom perfumes from users. Upon receiving the formula, the apparatus may determine the quantities of perfumes that are to be added from each perfume refill to create the custom perfume. Further, a vacuum pump connected to the mixing chamber is activated. The amount of time required to extract the determined quantity of perfume from the refills to the vacuumized mixing chamber is calculated. Finally, the valves are opened for the calculated amount of time to allow the vacuum generated in the mixing chamber to extract the determined quantities of perfumes from each perfume refill to create the custom perfume.

An apparatus is disclosed for covering an airless spray gun for the purpose of protecting the gun while preventing unintended triggering. Protecting the gun prolongs the life of the tool while preventing unintended triggering helps prevent injection injuries. In one embodiment a semi-rigid elastomeric form encloses the top, front, bottom and at least a portion of the sides of an airless spray gun, or air assisted spray gun, while a flexible elastomeric material covers a significant portion of the sides of the tool.

A system and method for automated lawn chemical treatment application are described. The system comprises a station having a series of concentrated chemicals capable of being mixed and diluted in a reservoir having a water supply to form a specialty formula and a craft which receives the specialty formula for dispersal. Various features of the craft enable a systematic treatment of various plants and/or areas of a law to reduce or eliminate the growth of unwanted plants while promoting the growth of desired plants. These may include the addition of imaging sensors and artificial intelligence to recognize unwanted plants versus desirable plants and develop means to inhibit or grow each over a specified period. A homeowner's ability to consistently treat plants with low-volumes of chemical treatments is enhanced, thus limiting environmental effects and reducing chemical waste.

The aerosol-generating article includes a housing with a first end and a second end. The housing defining a cavity. A first volatile substrate is in a first frangible capsule, where the first frangible capsule is between the first end and a middle section of the housing. At least a portion of a pre-vapor formulation retention medium is between the first end and the middle section of the housing. The vapor-generating article is configured to be connected to an electrically-operated vapor-generating device, where the vapor-generating article is configured to allow air to be drawn through from the first end to the second end if a negative pressure is applied to the second end. The vapor-generating system includes the vapor-generating article.
