Patent number: 7026278Abstract: A rinse-added fabric treatment composition having a rinse aid increases the rinse capacity of an aqueous rinse bath solution for removing laundry residue from laundered fabrics. When properly diluted in water, the rinse-added fabric treatment composition provides a rinse bath solution having a rinsing capacity of greater than 1. In addition, a rinse-added fabric treatment composition reduces the surfactant residue on a fabric, and includes from about 0.05% to about 10% of a residue reduction agent, a suds suppresser, and the balance adjunct ingredients. The residue reduction agent is selected from a cationic residue reduction agent, a zwitterionic residue reduction agent, and a combination thereof. Moreover, methods for reducing surfactant residue on fabric and a method for reducing the amount of water used in a rinsing step of a laundry process are included. A kit for improving the rinsing capacity of water includes a rinse-added fabric treatment composition and an instruction set.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2001Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Kenneth Nathan Price, Jean-Luc Philippe Bettiol, Nicola Kay Brown, Simon Richard Green, Li Li, Helen Frances O'Connor, Massimo Morini

Patent number: 6863925Abstract: An article is coasted by preparing a coating source having an aluminum halide, a fluoride or an iodide of a modifying element as a source of the modifying element, and a carrier gas. The modifying element is zirconium, hafnium, and yttrium, or combinations thereof. The coating source is contacted to the article, and the coating source and the article are heated to a coating temperature of at least about 1850° F. for a period of time sufficient to permit aluminum and the modifying element to coat onto the surface of the article. The preferred fluorides of modifying elements are zirconium tetrafluoride and hafnium tetrafluoride.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2000Date of Patent: March 8, 2005Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Gary Eugene Wheat, Terri Kay Brown, Roger Dale Wustman, Joseph David Rigney

Patent number: 6434876Abstract: A turbine blade is coated by first applying a particle-entrapped tip coating to the tip of the airfoil. An aluminum-containing coating is thereafter applied to the airfoil, including to the tip of the airfoil overlying the particle-entrapped tip coating. The aluminum-containing coating is applied by providing a source of aluminum contacting the airfoil that deposits aluminum onto the airfoil at a coating temperature, and heating the airfoil to the coating temperature so that the aluminum-containing coating is deposited onto the airfoil, and so that the aluminum-containing coating and the particle-entrapped tip coating are diffused into the turbine blade substrate. The step of applying the aluminum-containing coating occurs without substantial prior interdiffusing of the particle-entrapped tip coating with the tip of the airfoil as a separate step.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Gary Eugene Wheat, Terri Kay Brown, Roger Dale Wustman

Patent number: 6339879Abstract: A method for accurately sizing and forming the cooling holes of an air-cooled gas turbine engine component on which a protective diffusion coating will be deposited. The method generally entails drilling a hole in a surface region of a substrate, and then measuring the thickness of any recast surface region surrounding the hole and created as a result of a portion of the surface region having melted and then resolidified. The thickness of the additive layer of the diffusion coating that will deposit on a corresponding recast surface region of the component is then predicted based on an inverse relationship determined to exist with the thickness of the recast surface region formed during drilling of the cooling hole. An appropriately-oversized hole can then be formed in the component so that, after depositing the diffusion coating on the component, the additive layer grows sufficiently within the hole to yield a cooling hole approximately having the required final diameter.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2000Date of Patent: January 22, 2002Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Gary Eugene Wheat, Terri Kay Brown, Thomas Phillip Schumacher

Patent number: 5763320Abstract: A method (10,30) of boron doping a semiconductor particle using boric acid to obtain a p-type doped particle. Either silicon spheres or silicon powder is mixed with a diluted solution of boric acid having a predetermined concentration. The spheres are dried (16), with the boron film then being driven (18) into the sphere. A melt procedure mixes the driven boron uniformly throughout the sphere. In the case of silicon powder, the powder is metered out (38) into piles and melted/fused (40) with an optical furnace. Both processes obtain a p-type doped silicon sphere with desired resistivity. Boric acid is not a restricted chemical, is inexpensive, and does not pose any special shipping, handling, or disposal requirements.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 1995Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Inventors: Gary Don Stevens, Jeffrey Scott Reynolds, Louanne Kay Brown

Patent number: 5753252Abstract: Absorbent products, especially catemenial tampons, for absorbing body fluids, such as menstrual fluid, blood and wound exudates, comprise an amount of a compound effective to inhibit the production of Enterotoxin A, Enterotoxin B and/or Enterotoxin C by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria when the products are brought into contact with the bacteria. The compositions of this invention are also useful to inhibit production of Streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins A, B and C, as well as hemolysins produced by Groups A, B, F and G streptococci in solution as well as being expected to be effective to inhibit such toxin and hemolysin production when used in conjunction with absorbent products. The compound is selected from the group consisting of monoesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 fatty acid; diesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 fatty acid; and mixtures thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1994Date of Patent: May 19, 1998Assignee: McNeil-PPC, Inc.Inventor: Susan Kay Brown-Skrobot
