Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cold box core includes injecting unbonded sand into a cold box core tool, the unbonded sand including sand mixed with a resin, the cold box core tool including: a first platen; a first insert half secured to the first platen; a second platen; and a second insert half secured to the second platen and configured to alternately mate with and separate from the first insert half, each of the first insert half and the second insert half being three-dimensionally printed from a polymer material, the first insert half and the second insert half together forming a cavity therebetween defining an outer geometric shape of the cold box core; and injecting gas into the unbonded sand to harden the cold box core.

Abstract: The present invention teaches multilayer cleaning articles that include a substantially dry surface contact layer and a gripping layer. The contact layer may represent one exposed major face of the cleaning article (e.g., a cleaning pad), while the gripping layer may represent the opposite exposed major face of the cleaning article. The contact layer may include abrasive synthetic fibers, so as to be effective in scrubbing soils and spills from a surface. The contact layer includes a cleaning composition pre-loaded therein. The cleaning composition is such that the contact layer feels dry to the touch prior to use, before wetting with water. The cleaning composition may include about 1% to about 40% by weight water. The gripping layer includes at least 40% by weight of pulp fibers (e.g., natural cellulose pulp fiber), and exhibits a mean hand grip value that is at least 0.015 l/in2 (reciprocal inches squared).

Abstract: Systems and methods for processing erasure requests are provided, namely requests from users to have their user data erased from a system. The system maintains user data in multiple components which may not be in communication with each other. With the provided system, certain entities, referred to herein as erasure control entities, are informed of details of received erasure requests, and are given the opportunity to provide input on whether they should be executed or note. For example, one erasure control entity, such as a credit card server, may not want an erasure request executed for a user with a large outstanding debt, while another erasure control entity, such as a legal component, may be unaware of this and may not be concerned with the erasure request being executed. The system and method ensure that erasure requests are not executed in situations that are premature or inappropriate.

Abstract: Cleaning tools for cleaning toilets, particularly the interior of a toilet bowl, where bleach is provided within the cleaning tool itself, e.g., in a disposable, single use cleaning head. The tool may include a handle, a cleaning head attachable to the handle, a nonwoven material having an exterior surface and an interior surface, and a solid cleaning composition stored adjacent to the interior surface of the nonwoven material. The solid cleaning composition includes solid bleach, and may also include a solid surfactant. The cleaning composition may be confined within the nonwoven material (e.g., in a pouch), but upon contact with water, dissolved cleaning composition is able to migrate through the nonwoven material, through a scrubbing layer, and be delivered to the surface being cleaned. Release may achieve at least a 3-log reduction in Staphylococcus aureus within 5 minutes.
