Increasing the Strength of Odors Produced by an Odor-Emitting Technology Using Odor Capsules

open access: yesIEICE Transactions on Information and Systems, 2010
We have developed an odor-emitting apparatus for application of odor to information technology. This apparatus consists of a chemical capsule cartridge including chemical capsules of odor ingredients and valves to control odor emission using an artificial metal muscle.

The Impact of Odors

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2002
The odor microclimate is formed by gaseous airborne components perceived either as an unpleasant smell or as a pleasant smell. Smells enter the building interior partly from outdoors (exhaust fumes - flower fragrance) and partly from indoors (building ...
