Abstract: Disclosed example robotic welding systems include: a welding-type power supply configured to output welding-type power to a welding-type torch; a robotic manipulator configured to manipulate the welding-type torch; and robot control circuitry configured to: load a welding program comprising a sequence of robotic welding instructions, the robotic welding instructions comprising a plurality of positions associated with a welding operation to be performed along a welding seam using the welding-type torch, the sequence further comprising a position correction instruction; in response to reaching the position correction instruction in the sequence: automatically control the robotic manipulator to move the welding-type torch to detect positions of one or more surfaces associated with the weld seam; and based on the detected positions of the one or more surfaces associated with the weld seam, applying a correction to ones of the positions associated with the position correction instruction; and perform the robotic w

Abstract: Disclosed example robotic welding tool tips include a body having a first end configured to be connected to a robotic welding torch in place of a nozzle and a second end having an angled surface.

Abstract: Multiple use fabric conditioning composition.

Abstract: A heat exchanger is provided in an air duct between an air heater and a windbox of a combustion means such as a boiler. Dilution air is carried to the heat exchanger from a dilution air fan in a separate duct. The heat in the air from the air heater is transferred to the dilution air via the heat exchanger and the heated dilution air is sent to vaporize ammonia before the ammonia is introduced into an exhaust duct with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) chamber. A bypass valve is provided around the heat exchanger for blending heated and unheated air to control the temperature of the dilution air.

Abstract: Multiple use fabric conditioning composition comprising improved perfume are useful for softening laundry in a dryer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stable, aqueous fabric softening compositions, fabric softening methods and articles of manufacture that use such fabric softening compositions comprising preferred polyalkyleneoxy polysiloxanes selected from the group consisting of polyethyleneoxy polysiloxane, polyethyleneoxy/polypropyleneoxy polysiloxanes, and mixtures thereof. The composition is preferably applied as small particle size droplets, especially from spray containers. The present invention also relates to a method of identifying, selecting, and/or designing the preferred polyethyleneoxy polysiloxanes and/or polyethyleneoxy/polypropyleneoxy polysiloxanes that provide superior fabric softening performance in general, and especially for use in the fabric softening composition of the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable, aqueous wrinkle controlling and, optionally, odor-absorbing, composition, preferably for use on fabric. The composition preferably comprises fabric lubricant, shape retention polymer, lithium salts, and/or plasticizers for wrinkle control and, optionally, from about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight of the composition, of solubilized, water-soluble, uncomplexed cyclodextrin. Optionally, the composition can contain low molecular weight polyols; metallic salts to help control odor; nonionic surfactants to improve performance and formulatability, a humectant, etc. The composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric. The composition is preferably applied as small particle size droplets, especially from spray containers which preferably are in association with instructions for use, especially when the composition comprises only water and perfume.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fabric care methods for restoring and/or rejuvenating color of worn, faded fabric, by applying to said fabric a fabric color care composition which comprises: water soluble and/or water dispersible polymers; surfactant capable of forming a bilayer structure; and mixtures thereof. Optionally, the composition can contain other ingredients to provide additionally fabric care benefits, and/or to improve performance and formulatability. The composition is preferably applied as small particle size droplets, especially from spray container which preferably are in association with a set of instructions for use.
