Fingertip Mist

A simulated saliva effective to separate one layer of separable material from another layer of same material, selected from the group consisting of:

• (a) water, alone when droplets are properly distributed as mist to enable mix with naturally present finger surface oils to cause behavior like very minor amounts of human saliva
• (b) water with one or more texture additives to impart to water, as contact medium, feels of stickiness, thickness and/or surface wetting akin to that of human saliva, wherein one or more of said additives are selected from the group consisting of one or more of a (i) tackifier, (ii) viscosity modifier, (iii) humectant and (iv) carboxymethyl cellulose or another version of cellulose gum, tylose powder and other cellulose derivative is present as texture additive in an amount to modify texture of water to feel of saliva,
• (c) commercially accepted water based fruit and vegetable cleaners,
• (d) sprayable compositions comprising zinc oxide, and
• (e) ethanol based hand sanitizers when droplets are properly distributed as mist to enable mix with naturally present finger surface oils to cause behavior of mixed droplets to be like very minor amounts of human saliva.

A mist dispenser to dispense distributed droplet fluid mist in lieu of undispersed liquid stream, said dispenser comprising:

• a. a housing;
• b. a reservoir configured to store a feed fluid;
• c. a fluid passage disposed in the housing, the fluid passage having an inlet and an outlet;
• d. a pump disposed in the housing, the pump having an opening disposed in a pump body, the opening in fluid communication with the reservoir, the pump configured to allow air disposed therein to pass through the opening;
• e. a motor disposed in the housing, the motor configured to drive the pump, the pump configured to encourage a flow of fluid from the reservoir into the inlet and out of the outlet of the fluid passage;
• f. a first sensor configured to generate a signal based on a distance between an object and the first sensor;
• and
• g. an electronic processor configured to receive the signal from the first sensor and to determine a dispensation volume to be fed to said nozzle, the dispensation volume varying as a function of the distance between the object and the first sensor such that, as the distance between the object and the first sensor increases or decreases, the dispensation volume correspondingly increases or decreases, the processor further configured to control the motor to dispense approximately the dispensation volume of the fluid, and
• h. a mister, operably connected to said outlet of said fluid passage to convert said dispensation volume of fluid, from an undispersed stream prior to mister, to disbursed droplets of distributed fluid mist.

A dispenser to dispense distributed droplet fluid mist in lieu of undispersed liquid stream, said dispenser comprising:

• a. a housing;
• b a reservoir configured to store a liquid;
• c. a fluid passage disposed in the housing, the fluid passage having an inlet and an outlet;
• d. a pump and a motor disposed in the housing, the pump configured to be driven by the motor to encourage a flow of liquid from the reservoir into the inlet and out of the outlet of the fluid passage;
• e. a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a range between an object and the sensor, the signal increasing or decreasing as the range between the object and the sensor increases or decreases;
• f. an electronic processor configured to receive the signal from the sensor and to determine a variable dispensation volume, the determined variable dispensation volume increasing or decreasing as the signal increases or decreases;
• the electronic processor further configured to energize the motor to drive the pump to encourage approximately the variable dispensation volume of the liquid to be dispensed out of the outlet of the fluid passage, and
• g. a mister, operably connected to said outlet of said fluid passage, to convert dispensation volume of fluid from undispersed stream prior to mister to disbursed droplets of distributed fluid mist.
