Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for remote access, and management of a power grid and their associated loads. At least certain embodiments are configured for provisioning and control of decentralized non-grid connected power sources and corresponding power loads, including DC from photovoltaics (“PVs”) and AC from inverters, to a variety of power loads such as various electrical motors, lights as well as residential or business appliances. Aspects of the techniques described herein further include automated monitoring of various sensors including sensors that measure power, voltage, current, temperature, and humidity of the power sources as well as notification triggers and alarms to a feature phone. Other aspects are further adapted to track and receive payment for electric power from consumers connected with the decentralized non-grid power sources. The control of the power sources and loads can be bi-directional and can be performed using a smartphone that interfaces with a microcontroller.

Abstract: A neutral composition comprising an alkyl polyglucoside, a fatty alcohol polyglycol ether, xanthan gum, a biocide, and citric acid is disclosed which is useful for cleaning articles in need thereof. In exemplary embodiments the disclosed composition comprises an alkyl polyglucoside composition that is a mixture of C8/10 and C10/16 alkyl polyglucosides having an average degree of polymerization of about 1.5, a C12/16 fatty alcohol polyglycol ether 7 EO, xantham gum, a biocide composition comprising a mixture of isothiazolone compounds, and citric acid and has a pH of about 6.5-7.5.

Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous liquid cleaning compositions, the compositions being free of anionic surfactants and comprising:

Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous liquid cleaning compositions, the compositions being free of anionic surfactants and comprising: (a) linear alcohol ethoxylate; (b) amine oxide or betaine; and other, optional components, such as a cationic ammonium compound.

Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous hard surface cleaning compositions comprising detergent surfactant and, optionally, detergent builder and a hydrotrope in an amount sufficient to prevent filming and/or streaking after a surface is cleaned with the compostions.

Abstract: Disclosed are detergent compositions comprising:(a) an .alpha.-sulfonated alkyl ester of a fatty acid having an average of about 12-14 carbon atoms;(b) an anionic surfactant; and(c) a nonionic surfactant, and methods for preparing such compositions.

Abstract: Efficacious aldehyde-free tuberculocidal liquid compositions which are odorless, less-toxic, and essentially irritant-free are disclosed. These compositions consist of a solvent containing a glycol ether and a quaternary ammonium salt and can be used in a method to disinfect and sanitize a variety of surfaces.
