A system and method for altering the scent within a pill organizer. The pill organizer has multiple pill compartments and a scent compartment within a container housing. One or more perforated walls separate the scent compartment from the various pill compartments. A scent source that releases scent is placed in the scent compartment. The scent permeates into the various pill compartments. When a pill compartment is accessed by a user, the predominant scent perceived by the user is that of the scent source. In this manner, the user is not dissuaded from consuming pills, soft gels, tablets, gummies and / or capsules due to the odors that such items may release. The scented source can be replaced and / or renewed within the pill organizer. As such, the effectiveness of the overall product can be maintained for the life of the product.

To provide a method for dispensing liquid.SOLUTION: A method of dispensing fluid includes three processes. A first one of these processes includes a step of pumping fluid into a resilient variable-volume dispensing chamber. The dispensing chamber is in series with a normally present finite fluid impedance and an output. The impedance is sufficient so as to cause expansion of the dispensing chamber as it receives pumped fluid even while some fluid flows through the output. Another one of these processes includes a step of repeatedly measuring a parameter related to volume of the dispensing chamber over time. A third one of these processes includes a step of controlling the pumping of fluid based on repeated measurements of the parameter to produce a desired fluid flow through the output. A corresponding system for dispensing fluid implements these processes.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
