Publication number: 20240010956Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of washing textile articles that can be carried out, for example, in a continuous batch tunnel washer. Embodiments of the present method can include treating the textile with an aqueous composition including cleaning agent and halogen-containing bleaching agent for a time sufficient to remove soil from the textile and contacting the halogen-treated textile with an aqueous composition including a peroxycarboxylic acid. The concentration of halogen after the sufficient time can be at a level that does not result in adverse interaction between the halogen-containing bleaching agent and the peroxycarboxylic acid. Embodiments of the present method can clean textiles with the results of more effective stain removal and less waste through destruction of the textile article. Further, the present invention can clean a textile contacted soiled by a composition including chlorhexidine gluconate without resulting staining of the textile, which staining could have been permanent.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Russell Shawn Berman, Max Donald Harper, Joel Monroe Madenwald, Carl Henry Mattson

Publication number: 20070178736Abstract: An electrical connector having an electrical contact with a terminal portion and a contact receiving wafer is disclosed. The connector may also include a contact receiving wafer having a face that at least partially defines an aperture that extends therethrough. A terminal portion of the contact may extend at least partially into the aperture. The faces that define the aperture allow the terminal portion of the contact to move in each of a plurality of directions, while also containing the terminal portion of the contact in each direction. The terminal portion of the contact may have connected a solder ball. The solder ball may define a diameter that is larger than the width of the aperture restricting movement of the wafer along a length of the contact.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2007Publication date: August 2, 2007Applicant: FCI Americas Technology Inc.Inventors: Steven Minich, Donald Harper
