Abstract: Provided are devices, compositions, and methods for surface disinfection and decontamination; the devices generally adapted to contain a single or multi-component indicator composition, and optionally a disinfectant composition, and to dispense the indicator composition and optional disinfectant composition to a disinfectant solution, a surface, or a disinfectant article upon actuation of the device; also provided is an article of manufacture in the form of a removable cartridge adapted to fit a device described here, which may be pre-filled with a single or multi-component indicator composition as described here, and/or with a disinfectant composition, and one or more optional additives.

Abstract: This invention provides polyurethane foams containing a brominated flame retardant. Also provided are formulations and methods for preparing polyurethane foams containing a brominated flame retardant.

Abstract: A method and system to transfer payment to a seller of a network-based commerce transaction are described herein. The method includes generating a risk model based on seller-specific criteria, and releasing funds from a holding account to the seller based on the risk model.

Abstract: A method and system to transfer payment to a seller of a network-based commerce transaction are described herein. The method includes performing a risk evaluation based on retrieved seller-specific data, and releasing funds from a holding account to the seller based on the risk evaluation.

Abstract: An electronic device includes: a touch controller, periodically providing a touch sensing signal in a touch sensing period to a touch display panel for touch detection; a control core, periodically switching a level of a parallax switching signal; a parallax switching barrier, for respectively barricading a right-eye display zone and a left-eye display zone on the touch display panel in a left-eye display period and a right-eye display period in response to the parallax display switching signal; and an interference shielding module, for delaying the level switching of the parallax switching signal of the control core when a starting point of the touch sensing signal is detected, so as to prevent the level switching of the parallax switching signal from being triggered in the touch sensing period.

Abstract: Embodiments of electrical grommet devices, and methods of use and manufacture are generally described herein. In one exemplary embodiment, an electrical device comprises a casing comprising: a grommet comprising one or more first apertures and an insertion portion; and a connection mechanism capable of being coupled to the grommet. The electrical device further comprises one or more electrical components located at least partially within the casing, and one or more electrical connectors located at least partially within the casing and coupled to the one or more electrical components. The insertion portion of the grommet can be removably placed in a grommet hole from a first side of the grommet hole, and the grommet can be removably coupled to the connection mechanism at a second side of the grommet hole opposite the first side.

Abstract: An aquarium hood having a number of safety features is disclosed. Among these are: a collar fitting that prevents water and humidity ingress into the socket and, optionally, clips that attach the hood to the side of the aquarium so that it may be rotatably opened.

Abstract: Improvements are provided in a food paste pump, e.g. a tomato paste pump, or an egg mixture paste pump, for an apparatus for the making of an overlapped-folded, filled, rolled, food product. That apparatus includes a supporting frame structure, and a conveyor system supported thereon, the conveyor system passing a plurality of work stations. Intermittent moving means are provided for intermittently moving the conveyor system from one work station to the next work station downstream therefrom. The work stations include a sheet of dough feeding mechanism; a foodstuff loading mechanism; a sheet of dough folding mechanism; a folded sheet of dough rolling mechanism; discharge means; and control means to synchronize the intermittent movement of the conveyor system with the sequential operation of all the above-described mechanisms. At the foodstuff loading mechanism, a pair of the novel food paste pumps is provided.

Abstract: A novel dough feeding, cutting and depositing apparatus is provided herein. It includes a pivotally-mounted feed tray. Means are provided on the feed tray for gripping a continuous dough sheet and for advancing it forwardly along the feed tray to the downstream end of the feed tray. Means are provided for cutting a discrete sheet of dough from a continuous dough sheet overlapping the end of the feed tray, and for depositing such discrete sheet of dough on a sheet of dough tray station. Means are provided for moving the upstream end of the feed tray upwardly to its maximum "up" position for the duration of the time the continuous dough sheet is being advanced forwardly along the feed tray. Means are provided for moving the upstream end of the feed tray downwardly to its maximum "down" position for the duration of the time the means for cutting is effecting the cutting of the continuous dough sheet into a discrete sheet of dough.

Abstract: A method is provided for the production of a generally-cylindrical overlapped-folded, loaded, rolled dough food product.

Abstract: A novel food production apparatus is provided herein. It includes a supporting frame structure, and a conveyor system supported thereon, the conveyor system passing a plurality of work stations. Intermittent moving mechanisms are provided for intermittently moving the conveyor system from one work station to the next work station downstream therefrom. A dough sheet feeding mechanism is provided for intermittently loading a square sheet of dough at a diamond orientation onto the conveyor system while the conveyor system is stationary. At least one foodstuff loading mechanism is provided at one work station downstream from the dough sheet feeding mechanism to load foodstuff onto the sheet of dough while the conveyor system is stationary. A folding mechanism is provided at another work station downstream therefrom, to provide a substantially-hexagonally-shaped, loaded, overlapped-folded, sheet of dough, while the conveyor system is stationary.
