In addition, in exemplary containers with wheels, a pull handle may be attached to a side opposite the wheels. The lid may include a lid support member that can act as a molle board to releasably secure items to the lid support member while also providing structural support to the lid.

Abstract: A bowl may be configured to include an outer body that has a u-shaped cross section, and the outer body may have a bottom configured to support the bowl on a surface, the bottom also including a circular groove around a circumference of the bottom and a bracket within the circular groove, wherein a foot is inserted within the groove, and wherein the foot is secured to the circular groove by the bracket. The bowl may include an inner body, wherein the inner body is concave and dome-shaped. The inner body may hold a liquid or solid, and the inner body is connected to an upper edge of the outer body. An internal cavity is formed by the outer body and inner body, and the internal cavity is insulative. The connection formed by the upper edge of the outer body and the inner body may be seamless.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to evaluating a contact center agent using an automated evaluation process that employs aspects of machine learning to review pieces of content, identify context within a piece of content where a compliance statement is required, and determine if a compliance statement was given by the agent. In some embodiments, a compliance model is trained and utilized to recognize context within the customer-agent interaction indicating that a compliance statement should be given by the agent. The presence or absence of a compliance statement in the piece of content may then be evaluated by the model and reported to the contact center supervisor. The automated nature of the invention efficiently and effectively reduces the unnecessary randomness introduced by a manual review process while providing improved assurance that compliance requirements are consistently provided during customer interactions.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for detecting emerging events. In various examples, a method for detecting emerging events includes obtaining communication data associated with communication between multiple sources, segmenting communication data into multiple segments, determining whether a data segment belongs to a familiar topic or none, and generating a notification when a familiar topic is mentioned for more or less than a mention prediction. Additionally, or alternatively, a notification may be generated when an unfamiliar topic emerges from a set of unfamiliar data segments if an associated segment count exceeds a critical mass threshold. To determine whether a data segment belongs to a familiar topic, the data segment may be transformed into a feature vector and mapped onto a feature space, where a distance-based similarity score may be determined.

Abstract: An apparatus and process of making the apparatus is provided in which consumer goods have applied thereto a substantially permanent amount of embedded diatomaceous earth. A portion of the diatomaceous earth is exposed on the surface of the consumer good and when encountered by an insect, will cause sufficient injury to the insect that the death of the insect results in a few days.

Abstract: A fabric encasement for a mattress or box spring having an effective amount of a insecticidal diatomaceous earth applied to a bottom and sidewalls of the encasement.

Abstract: The present invention provides a water repellant, water resistant, stain resistant fabric that feels like fabric rather than plastic. The fabric of the present invention is prepared by treating a fabric with at least one treatment composition comprising from about 5 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of fluorochemical(s), which is then backed with at least one polymeric film to provide a water repellant, water resistant, stain resistant fabric.

Abstract: A method of preparing a stain resistant and water repellant textile fabric comprising:

Abstract: A method of preparing a stain resistant and water repellant textile fabric comprising: a) treating a textile fabric with an aqueous primary treatment composition comprising at least about 5 weight percent of a fluorochemical textile treating agent, based on the weight of the primary treatment composition; b) drying the treated fabric at an elevated temperature to obtain a primarily treated fabric; c) providing a polymeric film on one side of the primarily treated fabric, the film comprising an aqueous secondary treatment composition comprising at least about 4 weight percent of a fluorochemical textile treating agent, based on the weight of the secondary treatment composition; and d) drying the treated fabric with the film at an elevated temperature to obtain a secondarily treated fabric.

Abstract: A liquid repellant, stain-resistant, antimicrobial fabric. At least one composition comprising an antimicrobial agent and a fluorochemical composition is applied to a fabric such as a jacquard, to produce a treated fabric. The liquid and stain-resistant, antimicrobial, fabric essentially retains its natural texture, is durable and is easy to handle.

Abstract: A liquid and stain-resistant antimicrobial fabric is provided that can withstand the high temperatures required for transfer printing. A coating composition comprising a copolymer composition, an antimicrobial agent and a fluorochemical composition is applied to fabric such as polyester, to produce the coated fabric. The liquid and stain-resistant, antimicrobial, printed fabric retains its natural texture, is durable and easy to handle.

Abstract: Water-resistant, stain-repellant, anti-microbial fabrics are prepared by treating a woven fabric with a topical treating composition containing an acrylate copolymer having a glass transition temperature in the range of 10.degree. C. to 50.degree. C., a substantial amount of fluorochemical, and an antimicrobial, and curing the treated fabric at elevated temperatures. Further increase in water repellency and stain resistance is achieved by a high solids secondary coating applied to one side of the fabric only. The treated fabric retains the appearance, hand, and feel of textile material while being transfer-printable.
