Patent number: 10329522Abstract: A composition for cleaning hard surfaces includes from 3 to 20 wt-% dicarboxylic acid; from 3 to 25 wt-% surfactant; from 0 to 20 wt-% solvent; and water, and has a pH from 9 to 12.5. A ready-to-use solution of the composition includes from 0.1 to 5 wt-% dicarboxylic acid; from 0.1 to 5 wt-% surfactant; from 0 to 5 wt-% solvent; and water, and has a pH from 9 to 12.5. The composition is safe for use with calcite stone surfaces. A method of cleaning calcite stone surfaces comprises a use solution of the composition to the calcite stone surface, and rinsing, wiping, or scrubbing the surface. Another method of cleaning calcite stone surfaces comprises preparing a use solution by diluting the composition with water, applying the use solution to the calcite stone surface, and rinsing, wiping, or scrubbing the surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Dale Curtis Larson, III, Andrea Edward Hafez Kanani

Patent number: 7935409Abstract: The roll properties of tissue sheets are improved either by imparting cross-machine direction dominant bar-like protrusions to the air side of the tissue by using specially woven transfer fabrics and/or by offsetting recurring surface features of the sheet relative to the surface features of adjacent sheets within the roll, such as by providing a throughdryer fabric with an offset seam. Both techniques provide the resulting tissue sheets with improved capabilities for providing an improved combination of roll bulk and roll firmness.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2005Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Mark Alan Burazin, Edward Joseph VanRengen, Kenneth Curtis Larson, Jerome Steven Veith, Ralph Lee Anderson, Michael William Veith
