Abstract: Creating a storage driver that is structured and configured to organize and operate a multiple layer file system on a cloud-based computing server, and more particularly to a containerized computing server. Additionally, the storage driver is used to improve the security of the containers and to define a static configuration of the multiple layer file system that is stored within the containers.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention include receiving, by a controller, a workload comprising one or more tasks, generating a first pod comprising a first sidecar container, generating one or more ephemeral containers for the first pod based on the workload and one or more resource allocation metrics for the pod, executing the one or more tasks in the one or more ephemeral containers, monitoring the one or more resource allocation metrics for the pod, and generating at least one new ephemeral container in the first pod based on the one or more resource allocation metrics for the pod and the workload.

Abstract: Paper treating compositions and methods of using the same are disclosed herein. The paper treating compositions of the present disclosure may include a strength agent and a surfactant or a sizing agent and a surfactant. The compositions and methods can be used to improve sizing and paper strength, especially, for example in spray size press applications.

Abstract: High active, high caustic liquid laundry detergent compositions which provide excellent stability are disclosed, including methods of making and using the same. The compositions generally comprise a source of alkalinity, a rheology modifier, one or more sequestering agents, one or more low mole ethoxylated nonionic surfactants, and an alkylpolysaccharide surfactant. The liquid detergent emulsions, provided as a concentrate, water-in-oil use solution emulsion, or oil-in-water use solution emulsion beneficially demonstrate improved stability even under high pH and high temperature conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a surfactant booster for use in high foaming cleaning compositions. In an aspect of the invention, a C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11 or C12 linear alcohol in very low amounts is added to increase surface activity, foam and wetting properties of the composition. The alcohol is added in an amount of alcohol to surfactant of about 1:100 to 1:200 and must be linear. In another aspect, the invention relates to novel cleaning compositions such as pot and pan soaking compositions, dishwashing compositions, food and beverage foaming cleaners, vehicle cleaning and the like suitable for use in hard water, which can be solid or liquid. The invention further relates to methods of making these compositions, and to methods employing these compositions.

Abstract: Aqueous compositions for cleaning, sanitizing, and/or disinfecting using peroxycarboxylic acid compositions in combination with a high molecular weight polymer are provided. The compositions have a modified droplet size of the peroxycarboxylic acid composition when sprayed onto a surface in need of cleaning, sanitizing, and/or disinfecting. The compositions and methods of making and/or employing increase the use solution droplet size when sprayed to reduce the vapor level in the air to provide a composition having reduced inhalation risk coupled with the cleaning, sanitizing, and/or disinfecting properties.

Abstract: The disclosure includes structured siloxanes which can foam in low surface tension solutions. The foaming compositions may form foam in alcohol/water and hydrocarbon condensates. The foaming compositions may replace surfactants in other compositions. The disclosure also includes sterilizing alcohol compositions, cleaning compositions, such as hard surface cleaners, warewash detergents, rinse aids, hand sanitizers, and the like which incorporate the same.

Abstract: Compositions are disclosed that include PEG-modified triglycerides as a surfactant. The mixtures form stable microemulsions with oils and fatty acids which can be the resultant product, such as lubricants, sunscreens, or triglyceride-based products. These emulsions or microemulsions are stable, irreversible, and can be created at low temperature. These can be used in detergents, rinse aids and the like to form microemulsions to remove oils and greasy soils, such as non-trans fats and fatty acids from substrates/surfaces often without the need for linker or other cosurfactants. Methods of making the compositions/microemulsions are included as well as uses thereof.

Abstract: The disclosure includes synergistic combinations of pendent alkyl siloxanes and PEG-modified castor oils which can form microemulsions and foam in low surface tension solutions.
