Publication number: 20210395941Abstract: An embedded temperature sensor may be attached to or otherwise associated with a textile in order to measure one or more temperatures of the textile. Temperature information received from one or more embedded temperature sensor(s) throughout the course of a dryer cycle may be analyzed to determine dryness of one or more textiles in a dryer, determine whether one or more textiles in the dryer are overdry, generate an indication of the dryness of the one or more textiles in the dryer, and/or to control one or more dryer cycles of the dryer, such as by automatically turning-off the dryer when one or more of the textiles in the dryer are determined to be dry. The embedded temperature sensor may further be used to validate a cleaning process in a cleaning machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Peter J. McGrane, Kyle D. Wood, Kaustav Ghosh, Bruce W. White

Patent number: 10065156Abstract: A dispensing system includes a dispenser, a logic device, a nozzle, a diluent source, and a solid product. The logic device controls spray on and spray off cycles to pulse diluent supplied to the nozzle. The diluent contacts the solid product to dissolve a portion of the solid product and create a use solution. Pulsing the spray of diluent controls the concentration of the dispensed product in the use solution by limiting the amount of excess dilutant added to the dispensed product. The product is more consistently dispensed and the concentration of the dispensed product in the use solution is more consistent. Additionally, the concentration of the dispensed product in the use solution can be controlled by changing at least one of a volume of diluent dispensed through the nozzle, a pressure of diluent, a pulsed diluent spray frequency, and a pulsed diluent spray duration.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: R. Ryan S. Carroll, Henry L. Carbone, II, Charles E. Wensman, Bruce W. White, John D. Morey

Publication number: 20120226621Abstract: A foodborne illness risk model determines a relationship between health department inspection data and various factors known to contribute to the risk of foodborne illness. The model may identify a comparative risk value for foodborne illness outbreaks for one or more pathogens at a food establishment based on the food establishment's inspection data. The model may also identify a set of indicative violations more likely to be recorded at outbreak restaurants than non-outbreak restaurants. The model may also develop an outbreak profile continuum based on the number of indicative violations. The model may further determine a position on an outbreak profile continuum for a particular food establishment based on the food establishment's inspection data.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2012Publication date: September 6, 2012Applicant: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Ruth L.

Patent number: 4467928Abstract: A pendant supported extensible boom is disclosed having the boom and a live mast pivoted to a base about an axis near the lowermost surface of the boom for providing a stowed mast-boom angle of about 10.degree., and a fixed length pendant is provided to maintain a predetermined mast-boom working angle. A live pendant is trained over a winch, a boom supporting hoist, and a pendant take-up hoist connected between the mast and an outer end portion of the boom. Driving the winch to haul in pendant controllably raised the mast to its mast-boom working angle and then raises the boom to its desired working angle. When extending or retracting the boom, the boom working angle is maintained constant by paying out pendant from the winch, respectively. The boom and mast are controllably returned to a stowed position by paying out line from the boom supporting hoise and pendant take-up hoist.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1982Date of Patent: August 28, 1984Assignee: FMC CorporationInventor: Bruce W.
