Abstract
An aerosol dispensing device includes an atomizer configured to atomize a liquid contained in a cartridge, an actuator configured to actuate activity of the atomizer, a reader configured to read data attached to the cartridge while the cartridge is installed in the device and a controller. The controller is configured to receive data from the reader, verify authenticity of the cartridge based on the data received, initiate activity of the actuator based on verifying that the cartridge is authentic, and block activity of the actuator based on verifying that the cartridge is not authentic.
Claims29
An aerosol dispensing device for restoring biological balance in a space, the aesosol dispensing device comprising:
- an atomizer configured to atomize a liquid contained in a cartridge, the liquid containing biological content, the biological content being one member of the group consisting of microorganisms, a pro-biotic, a medicament, and a nutraceutical;
- an actuator configured to actuate activity of the atomizer at a defined frequency and for a defined duration, wherein the actuation is performed automatically without human intervention;
- a controller configured to:
- to receive input from a first sensor configured to sense a parameter related to an indoor environment around the aerosol dispending device, the parameter relating to air quality in the space;
- and
- to adjust at least one of the defined frequency and the defined duration based on the input received, wherein the adjusting is performed automatically without human intervention, to spread said bological content around said space in response to said sensed parameter, thereby to restore said biological balance in said space.
A method for selectively altering microorganism balance in an indoor environment comprising:
- providing an aerosol dispensing device comprising:
- a liquid contained in a cartridge, the cartridge containing biological content, said biological content being one member of the group consisting of microorganisms, a pro-biotic, a medicament, and a nutraceutical probiotic content;
- an atomizer configured to atomize the liquid contained in the cartridge;
- and
- an actuator configured to actuate activity of the atomizer at a defined frequency and for a defined duration, wherein the actuation is performed automatically without human intervention;
- actuating activity of the atomizer at a defined frequency and for a defined duration;
- receiving input from a first sensor configured to sense a parameter related to air quality of an indoor environment around the aerosol dispending device;
- and
- adjusting at least one of the defined frequency and the defined duration based on the input received to spread said biological content around said indoor environment in response to said parameter related to air quality, wherein the adjusting is performed automatically without human intervention, in order to selectively alter said microorganism balance in said indoor environment.
An aerosol dispensing device comprising:
- an atomizer configured to atomize a liquid contained in a cartridge, the liquid containing biological content;
- an actuator configured to actuate activity of the atomizer at a defined frequency and for a defined duration, wherein the actuation is performed automatically without human intervention;
- a controller configured to:
- receive input from a first sensor configured to sense a first parameter related to an indoor environment around the aerosol dispending device;
- receive input from a second sensor configured to obtain a second parameter, said second parameter relating to said biological content;
- and
- adjust at least one of the defined frequency and the defined duration based on the input received, wherein the adjusting is performed automatically without human intervention;
- is performed automatically without human intervention.
