A method of atomizing a fluid composition is provided that includes dynamically measuring the minimum-required actuation energy for the fluid composition. The method includes the steps of: connecting a microfluidic cartridge with a housing of a microfluidic device, the microfluidic cartridge comprising a reservoir containing the fluid composition and a microfluidic die in fluid communication with the reservoir; the microfluidic device comprising a controller; measuring the minimum-required actuation energy for the fluid composition at a first time; atomizing the fluid composition in a first atomization period; measuring the minimum-required actuation energy for a fluid composition at a second time that is after the first time; and atomizing the fluid composition in a second atomization period.

Method of atomizing a fluid composition

A freshening composition and method of jetting a freshening composition from a microfluidic device are provided. The composition includes greater than 5 wt. % of solubilizing materials that are liquid at 20° C. Each of the solubilizing materials have a Hansen polarity parameter (δp) of greater than 5 MPa0.5; a Hansen hydrogen-bonding parameter (δh) of greater than 9 MPa0.5; and a vapor pressure of less than 267 Pa. The method includes heating the freshening composition with a thermal actuator and atomizing the heated composition from a nozzle in a direction that is from 0 degrees to 90 degrees from the direction of gravitational force.

Freshening compositions and methods of atomizing freshening compositions with a thermally-actuated microfluidic cartridge

A microfluidic cartridge is provided. The microfluidic cartridge has an interior and an exterior. The microfluidic cartridge includes a reservoir disposed in the interior of the microfluidic cartridge and configured to contain a fluid composition. The microfluidic cartridge includes an electric circuit disposed on the exterior of the microfluidic cartridge. The electric circuit comprises a first end portion having electrical contacts and a second end portion opposing the first end portion. The microfluidic cartridge includes a microfluidic die disposed on the exterior of the microfluidic cartridge, wherein the microfluidic die is electrically connected with the second end portion of the electric circuit and in fluid communication with the reservoir. A silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive is used to join the electric circuit with the exterior of the microfluidic cartridge.
