Patent number: 11946025Abstract: This invention relates to novel whitening agents for cellulosic substrates. The whitening agents are comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. Suitable chromophore components generally fluoresce blue, red, violet, or purple color when exposed to ultraviolet light, or they may absorb light to reflect these same shades. The whitening agents are further characterized by having a dispersion component value of the Hansen Solubility Parameter of less than or equal to about 17 MPa0.5. This invention also relates to laundry care compositions including but not limited to liquid and/or powder laundry detergent formulations and rinse added fabric softening (RAFS) compositions that comprise such whitening agents.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Eugene Steven Sadlowski, Mark Robert Sivik, Michael David Cummings, Donna D'Angelo Morrall, Kevin Lee Kott, Keith Homer Baker, Brian Joseph Loughnane, Michael A Valenti, Laurent D.

Publication number: 20230264544Abstract: A door structure system for a vehicle includes an inner panel, an outer panel, and an outer belt reinforcement member. The outer belt reinforcement member extends in a fore-and-aft direction of the door structure. The outer belt reinforcement member creates an overlap joint with a hem flange portion of the inner panel. The outer belt reinforcement member includes touch-down feature that extends toward the inner panel and into contact with a bearing surface of the inner panel that is stepped down relative to the hem flange portion. The overlap joint and the touch-down feature both contribute to an increased upper frame stiffness of the door structure and improve sealing performance between the door structure and the vehicle body structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2021Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Lawrence M.

Patent number: 11155474Abstract: Methods of treating water to promote the health of aquatic organisms are described. The method may include introducing pulverized kaolin into the water. The pulverized kaolin may have a particle size distribution such that at least 30% by weight of the particles pass through a 60 mesh screen. For example, the pulverized kaolin may be in the form of a dry powder having a d50 diameter less than 300 ?m. The pulverized kaolin may remain dispersed or suspended in the water without dispersants and/or surfactants, e.g., to reduce the amount of at least one pathogenic microorganism present in the water and/or to reduce or prevent exposure of aquatic organisms to the pathogenic microorganism(s).Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Imerys USA, Inc.Inventors: Peter Biza, Philip Jones, David Cummings, Anthony Lyons, Christopher Boothby, Marc De Sailly

Publication number: 20200384190Abstract: A medical device controller is provided that avoids unintended user inputs and unwanted medical device operation(s). A controller sends display commands to a graphical user interface (GUI) display to generate a first screen having a swipe field with no moving icons that prompts a user to initiate a designated operation by the medical device. When a valid swipe gesture is inputted, the controller generates a second screen with confirm button that requires a valid user press before the controller undertakes the designated operation, the controller generating and sending a command for the designated operation to the medical device when the controller determines that a valid user press has been inputted to the confirm button. The controller also sends commands to generate a status screen that transitions a rotating progress ring symbol and level indicator in accordance with a selected event to clearly indicate the status of medical device operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2018Publication date: December 10, 2020Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Margaret Anne JACOBI, Sonya MEAD, David John SIEDZIK, Tony Hai NGUYEN, Ping ZHENG, Clinton James GOYETTE, Justin David CUMMING, Thomas Frank KINST, Marc Clifford VOGT, J.
