Abstract

The present application relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing generating odors. In aspects, the disclosed methods may include generating, by a chemistry dispersion element, a signal configured to act upon a surface of a chemistry reservoir to disperse an odorous substance retained within the chemistry reservoir. The chemistry reservoir and the chemistry dispersion element may be disposed within a housing. The method also includes generating, by an air pump, a volume of air, and transporting, by an airflow pathway, the volume of air from the air pump to an air outlet. The volume of air passes through at least a portion of the housing as it flows through the airflow pathway from the air pump to the air outlet, and transports at least a portion of the odorous substance dispersed by the chemistry reservoir within the housing to the air outlet.

         14 . A method comprising:
 generating, by a chemistry dispersion element, a signal configured to act upon a surface of a chemistry reservoir to disperse an odorous substance retained within the chemistry reservoir, wherein the chemistry reservoir and the chemistry dispersion element are disposed within a housing;   generating, by an air pump, a volume of air; and   transporting, by an airflow pathway, the volume of air from the air pump to an air outlet, wherein the volume of air passes through at least a portion of the housing as it flows through the airflow pathway from the air pump to the air outlet, and wherein the volume of air transports at least a portion of the odorous substance dispersed by the chemistry reservoir within the housing to the air outlet.   
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
 activating a chemistry dispersion element, wherein the activating is configured to cause the chemistry dispersion element to act upon a surface of a chemistry reservoir to disperse an odorous substance retained within the chemistry reservoir, wherein the chemistry reservoir and the chemistry dispersion element are disposed within a housing; and   controlling a volume of air generated by an air pump, wherein the volume of air generated by the air pump is provided to an airflow pathway configured to transport the volume of air from the air pump to an air outlet, wherein the volume of air passes through at least a portion of the housing as it flows through the airflow pathway from the air pump to the air outlet, and wherein the volume of air transports at least a portion of the odorous substance dispersed by the chemistry reservoir within the housing to the air outlet.
