Abstract
A method of discharging an aerosolized fluid from an aerosol can to an ambient environment, which includes a solenoid valve of an aerosol release device fluidly coupled with a discharge valve on the aerosol can; a duration of a first release period of the aerosolized fluid from the aerosol can being determined the solenoid valve being actuated, using an electronic controller to thereby release the aerosolized fluid to the ambient environment for the duration of the first release period; a duration of a second release period of the aerosolized fluid from the aerosol can being determined; where the duration of the second release period being randomly varied to avoid user habituation of the aerosolized fluid; and the solenoid valve being actuated using the electronic controller to thereby release the aerosolized fluid to the ambient environment for the duration of the second release period.
