Abstract: The invention provides a personal cleansing composition having an aqueous continuous phase including cleansing surfactant and a solubilised hydrocarbon oil having a kinematic viscosity of 1 to 35 cSt at 40° C. and a specific gravity of 0.76 to 0.87 at 25° C.; in which the hydrocarbon oil is solubilised in wormlike micelles in the aqueous continuous phase by means of a linker molecule and an inorganic electrolyte; in which the linker molecule is selected from one or more compounds of formula: R(X)n, in which R is a C6 to C14 mono-, di- or trivalent saturated aliphatic or an aromatic hydrocarbyl group, n is 1 to 3 and each X is independently selected from —OH and —COOH; and in which the level of hydrocarbon oil in the composition ranges from 0.8 to 1.5% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: A crossflow heat-exchanger has first and second sets of fluid-flow channels arranged such that each set crosses the other to afford heat-exchange between cooling air in the first set and hot air in the second set, without the cooling air and the hot air contacting one another. A first series of fans causes flow of the external cooling air through the rows. A second series of fans causes flow of the internal hot air through the columns. External and internal fan controllers control the speed of each fan independently such that external cooling air flows through different rows at different rates and internal hot air flows through different columns at different rates.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for applying foliar spray and more specifically, but not exclusively, to an apparatus for applying a carbon rich foliar spray. The apparatus (1) includes supply means (2) for supplying water (3) to the apparatus. The supply means (2) is in the form of a water tank (4) with pipe (5) extending from the tank, through a reverse osmosis water filtration unit (12), pump (6), and valve (7). A solute container (8) for holding solute (9) in the form an electrolyte solution of sodium ions (Na+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3—) formed by mixing sodium bicarbonate and water (3) from the supply means (2). The combinatory part (10) is connected to an ion exchange part (15) through valve (19), pipe (17) and pump (18). The prepared solution is the product of passing the diluted electrolyte solution (11) through the ion exchange column (15).

Abstract: The present invention involves the provision of a truss assembly and method which includes components that have segments pre-connected in a manner that allows the connected parts to be collapsed for packaging and shipping with the other components of a shed or the like.

Abstract: A computerized method for monitoring business processes is exemplified. Business process data and task data are stored in memory of a computer. The method further includes receiving a data request from a requesting party. The method additionally includes filtering business process data and task data based on the role of the requesting party. A first requesting party has a first monitoring role is designated a level of access limited to viewing task data for fewer than all tasks. A second requesting party has a second monitoring role is designated a level of access as viewing or editing task data limited to fewer than all tasks. A third requesting party has a third monitoring role is designated a level of access as viewing or editing task data for all tasks. The method furthermore includes returning the requested data to the requesting party based on the user credentials of the requesting party.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hose reel carts for handling and storage of flexible hoses, such as garden or air hoses. The hose reel cart is primarily constructed of plastic components having a centrally rotatable spool for winding of the flexible hose, a frame for supporting the spool and a multi-position crank arm assembly allowing the consumer to place the crank handle in a lowered position or a raised position. The crank remotely drives the spool, for winding the hose, through a series of gears located within the crank arm assembly. The device may further include a reciprocating guide assembly that operates during rotation of the spool to rewind the hose into a compact configuration.
