Abstract: A method of forming a glass sheet comprises: (a) forming a ribbon of glass from molten glass with a pair of forming rollers; (b) reducing horizontal temperature variability of the ribbon of glass to be 10° C. or less across 80 percent of an entire width of the ribbon of glass before the ribbon of glass cools to a glass transition temperature; (c) controlling a cooling rate of the ribbon of glass while the ribbon of glass moves vertically downward within a setting zone such that the ribbon of glass has a first average cooling rate before the ribbon of glass cools to the glass transition temperature and a second average cooling rate after the ribbon of glass cools to the glass transition temperature, the first average cooling rate being less than the second average cooling rate; and (d) separating a glass sheet from the ribbon of glass.

Abstract: A building surface product includes a panel having a front surface, a rear surface, a first side, a second side, a first end, a second end, and a gypsum body between the front surface and rear surface. A first hole extends through the gypsum body and includes a front end and a rear end. A first fastener assembly is positioned in the first hole. The first fastener assembly includes an embedded fastener and a linking fastener. The embedded fastener has a threaded body that extends through the first hole of the gypsum body and has a front end a rear end, and a lateral projection disposed at the front end of the threaded body. The linking fastener includes a threaded body that engages the threaded body of the embedded fastener. The linking fastener extends outward from the rear end of the first hole. The first fastener assembly is contained behind the front surface of the panel.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to building surface systems, for example, suitable for forming an internal or external surface of a building. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface product that includes a panel and a first attachment post extending outward from a rear surface of the panel. The first attachment post includes a shaft having a first end that penetrates the rear surface of the panel and second end that is spaced from the panel. The first attachment post also includes a lip extending radially outward from the shaft that is configured to hold the first attachment post in an aperture of a support structure. The disclosure also relates to a building surface system including a plurality of rails configured to panels that include an attachment post.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for utilizing aircraft cockpit and cabin lighting to provide both power and data transmission to occupants. Data and power may be transmitted on non-visible and/or visible spectrums. The visible light may be used independently for aircraft illumination. Data for the cockpit allows for quick upload and download of flight planning and maintenance data to an electronic flight bag. The electronic flight bag may also be able to receive power from cockpit and cabin lighting during flight.

Abstract: A mobile power system for producing power at a desired location includes a first power generating device of a first type coupled to a transportable housing, and a second power generating device of a second type coupled to the transportable housing. The first type of power generating device is different than the second type of power generating device. According to an exemplary embodiment, the mobile power system may provide easy access to different types of power outputs. Further, the housing may have the approximate size of a standard freight container.

Abstract: An improved generator fan serves to draw air into the generator through an inlet in the generator housing, pass the air through the rotor and stator, and direct the air out openings in the generator housing. The fan of the present invention includes a disc and at least one multi-directional blade extending from the disc. The multi-direction blade includes a leading segment extending from the disc between a first radius measured from the axis of rotation and a second radius, the leading segment including a leading edge extending from the disc at an angle of about ninety degrees from the disc, the leading segment extending from the disc with an increasing angle along the length of the leading segment; and a trailing segment extending from the disc between the second radius and a third radius measured from the axis of rotation, the third radius being greater than the second radius and the trailing segment extending from the disc with an angle having a rate of change different than the leading segment.

Abstract: An oral composition comprises perlite, characterised in that it comprises from 0.01 to 0.9% by weight perlite.

Abstract: A laundry detergent composition contains a surfactant system consisting wholly of anionic surfactant, or of anionic and nonionic surfactants in a ratio at least 0.9:1, a detergency builder, and a soil release polymer which is a defined water-soluble or water-dispersible sulphonated non-end-capped polyester, for example, of terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, sulphoisophthalic acid and ethylene glycol.

Abstract: A laundry detergent composition contains organic surfactant, zeolite MAP builder, and a soil release polymer which is a defined water-soluble or water-dispersible sulphonated non-end-capped polyester, for example, of terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, sulphoisophthalic acid and ethylene glycol.

Abstract: A water-soluble copolyester comprising units of a polyglycol or capped polyglycol (for example, polyethylene glycol or polyethylene glycol methyl ether), an aromatic dicarboxylic acid (for example, terephthalic acid) and at least 30 mole % of a polyol having at least three hydroxyl groups (for example, glycerol), but free of ethylene glycol units, is a highly effective soil release polymer for use in detergent compositions. The aromatic dicarboxylic acid units may include units of a sulphonated aromatic dicarboxylic acid (for example, sulphoisophthalic acid).
