An arrangement for detecting toilet flushing by utilizing an acoustically-based motion detector in a simple amplifier circuit. The detector is in contact with the toilet bowl, which acts as a resonant system. Upon detection of such flushing, a subsequent event, such as a cleaning or disinfecting a toilet, ventilating the surrounding area or releasing deodorant into the area, may be triggered. The mechanically resonant system with the provided circuit is capable of separating frequencies from the frequency of the flushing water in a specific bowl design and provides a high degree of immunity to unwanted ambient frequencies. In addition, the system consumes low power and is suitable for battery power operation.

A dispenser for dispensing a product, the dispenser comprising a base unit () into which a refill () containing the product is removably insertable in a fixed position. The refill has a taggant ink () on part of its external surface. The base has a light source () to illuminate the ink. The light source has a first wavelength and the ink is arranged to cause the ink to emit light at a second different wavelength. A sensor () receives light emitted by the ink upon illumination by the light source. A control circuit receives signal indicative of the wavelength of the detected light from the sensor, compares it with stored data, and prevents operation of a dispensing mechanism unless the refill is authentic.

The present invention describes a device for evaporating a volatile liquid from a container having a wick. The device includes a housing, a motion sensor, a first electrical heating element, and at least one of: a second electrical heating element; a fan; a region of increased heating capacity within the first electrical heating element. In use, the motion sensor is operable to detect motion in the vicinity of the device and, on detecting motion, the device operates to activate at least one of a second electrical heating element; a fan; a region of increased heating capacity within the first electrical heating element. The present invention also describes a method for evaporating the volatile liquid and a kit of parts for the same.

The present invention relates to a dispensing device for at least one air treatment agent comprising at least one airborne agent detector operable to detect airborne agents in the air; receiving means for receiving at least one source of air treatment agent; and control means for releasing an amount of at least one air treatment agent from a source thereof received in the receiving means when a current airborne agent level detected by the airborne agent detector deviates from a background airborne agent level detected by the airborne agent detector by more than a predetermined amount, wherein the background airborne agent level is calculated by the device. The present invention also relates to a method of dispensing at least one air treatment agent.

An electromagnetic flow meter is configured as an insert for insertion into an in-situ housing connected in a flow line. This can enable a body previously installed for use with an insert of a mechanical flow meter to be adapted for use with an insert of an electromagnetic flow meter without having to disconnect the body from a mains supply.
