Publication number: 20060293214Abstract: Aqueous dilutions of acidic ternary compositions having unusually synergistic antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella choleraesuis microorganisms are disclosed. The compositions encompass ternary component mixtures of an alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acid, a monohydric water soluble alkanol and an anionic tenside having a Ternary Ratio residing within a defined phase region wherein synergistic antimicrobial activity is observed; whereas mixtures outside of the defined phase region and those lacking any one of the components do not exhibit synergistic activity. Compositions, methods and articles employing the inventive ternary synergistic compositions, and their utility in sanitizing and disinfecting hard surfaces are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2005Publication date: December 28, 2006Inventors: Lily Cheng, Richard Simon, Benjamin Tanner, David DeLeeuw

Publication number: 20060293202Abstract: A cleaning composition with a 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid and a food safe nonionic surfactant gives good antimicrobial performance with improved filming and streaking performance combined with low residue and high grease cleaning capability for use on and around food contact surfaces. The composition may contain an anionic surfactant to provide improved wetting performances, and may optionally contain a solvent, additional surfactants, and other adjuncts. The food safe nonionic surfactant is preferably food safe or of low toxicological concern for use on animal, human and food contact surfaces. The composition can be used directly, diluted for use or impregnated and used on a wipe or other substrate, and require no rinsing or removal from the surface following application and cleaning.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2006Publication date: December 28, 2006Inventors: Sumi Cate, Aram Garabedian, Lily Cheng, David Deleeuw

Publication number: 20060205381Abstract: Wireless power receiving apparatus (150) is retrofitted to a portable electrical device (100) to enable the device to receive power wirelessly. The apparatus comprises a power-receiving element (200) adapted to be attached to the device, e.g. by adhesive (201), and also being adapted to receive power wirelessly from a transmitter of power when the element and transmitter are in proximity with one another. One or more power connectors (203) are connected electrically to the power-receiving element and are adapted to be connected, when the apparatus is in use, to one or more corresponding power connectors (101) of the portable electrical device to deliver power received by the element to the device. The power-receiving element may be in the form of a sticker or may be carried by or incorporated in a replacement cover portion for the portable electrical device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2003Publication date: September 14, 2006Inventors: Pilgrim Beart, David Whitewood, Lily Cheng, James Hay

Publication number: 20060076922Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for transferring power without requiring direct electrical conductive contacts. There is provided a primary unit having a power supply and a substantially laminar charging surface having at least one conductor that generates an electromagnetic field when a current flows therethrough and having an charging area defined within a perimeter of the surface, the at least one conductor being arranged such that electromagnetic field lines generated by the at least one conductor are substantially parallel to the plane of the surface or at least subtend an angle of 45° or less to the surface within the charging area; and at least one secondary device including at least one conductor that may be wound about a core. Because the electromagnetic field is spread over the charging area and is generally parallel or near-parallel thereto, coupling with flat secondary devices such as mobile telephones and the like is significantly improved in various orientations thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2005Publication date: April 13, 2006Inventors: Lily Cheng, James Hay, Pilgrim Beart

Patent number: 7008600Abstract: The present invention relates to a disinfecting article, a sealable housing system for disinfecting articles, and a disinfecting composition comprising a hypohalite composition and a surfactant, for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, with improved stability and extended efficacy for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with residues such as foods, dirt, microorganisms and many other common contaminates. The disinfecting article is preferably a wipe that is comprised of high denier fibers and stored in a sealable housing system to ensure the stability of the substrate in the hypohalite releasing solution.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2004Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: George Katsigras, Surinder Bains, Lily Cheng, Thomas W. Kaaret, William L. Smith
