Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a self-decontaminating surface coating, which when cured has a partially hydrophobic surface. The coating comprises a polymeric coating resin which, when cured, is hydrophilic. The coating also comprises a biocide, a germinating agent, and a hydrophobic micro/nano particulate material. The coating is suitable for application to ceramics, metals, and polymer substrates. Articles coated with the coating of the present invention are resistant to spores.

Abstract: The present invention provides a central current share coordinator for use with remotely and non-remotely controllable rectifiers coupled to an output bus. In one embodiment, the central current share coordinator includes a rectifier current resolver configured to determine an existing current share condition for the remotely and non-remotely controllable rectifiers. Additionally, the central current share coordinator also includes a load share adjuster coupled to the rectifier current resolver and configured to adjust an output current of the remotely controllable rectifiers toward a target current share distribution on the output bus.

Abstract: This is an automatic garment hanger dispenser and hangering device for use in laundries for cleaning commercial garments and shirts that must be placed on hangers and then be passed through a cleaning "tunnel" on a conveyer suspending and transporting the hangered shirt or garment therethrough. Prior to this device, the operator could drape about one hundred seventy-five to two hundred shirts or garments on hangers per hour, but with this device, the same operator averages about four hundred to four hundred fifty hangered shirts or garments.
