  • Publication number: 20200408328
    Abstract: Embodiments for an automatic fluid shut off device having a float disposed in a fluid catch basin attached to a first end of a flexible cable movable in an opposite direction of rising fluid in the catch basin; a second flexible cable end extending to a fluid supply base and terminating adjacent to a restrained spider assembly, the spider assembly configured to be rotationally displaceable upon a force by the second flexible cable end in response to a rising fluid in the catch basin; the spider assembly pivotably connected to a shut-off valve; and the shut off valve retained in an open position while the spider assembly is restrained, and under a rotational force to close the shut-off valve upon activation of the spider valve in response to the force by the second flexible cable end.

  • Patent number: 7897716
    Abstract: The invention provides silicone compositions (aminopolysiloxanes and/or ammonium polysiloxanes) which bind to fibrous substrates such as paper, and make the paper perceptibly softer and permit easy use of the paper in the paper production process, by leaving constant or improving hydrophilicity. The invention further provides polysiloxane-based compositions which can be flexibly adjusted to a given substrate and treatment condition by varying the ratios of the components of the composition.
