  • Patent number: 12319893
    Abstract: A compressed unit dose toilet cleaning tablet for use with a wand. The unit dose contains surfactant, organic acid, and an organic acid buffering agent and is compressed into a tablet or puck that dissolves in toilet water after cleaning. The tablet has a top surface, a bottom surface, a height extending from the top surface to the bottom surface, and a diameter. The top surface has an indentation adapted to receive and engage with a wand. A ratio of the height to the diameter of the tablet is between 0.2 and 0.3. A kit contains a plurality of the tablets and a wand.

  • Patent number: 12310538
    Abstract: A cleaning system includes a handling tool for a dissolvable cleaner block. The handling tool includes a wand and a retainer arrangement attached to the wand and moveable between a retaining position and a releasing position. The retainer arrangement is configured for removably attaching the wand to the dissolvable cleaner block when in the retaining position. The retainer arrangement is configured for releasing the dissolvable cleaner block when in the releasing position. The retainer arrangement includes at least one selectively moveable engagement member that removably engages the dissolvable cleaner block in the retaining position. Furthermore, the handling tool includes a sealing member that is attached to the wand and that is configured to seal against the dissolvable cleaner block when engaged with the retainer arrangement to impede liquid intrusion toward the retainer arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20250168178
    Abstract: The disclosed methods and systems detect attack campaigns on electronic networks by detecting and analyzing anomalous relationships between entities on the electronic networks, or between at least one entity on the electronic networks and an external entity, or between the one or more electronic networks as a whole and the external entity. The disclosed methods and systems generally correlate anomalous relationships to reduce the total number of alerts that a cybersecurity analyst must address. For known attack campaigns, the disclosed methods and systems may rapidly identify the attack campaign, allowing cybersecurity analysts to quickly apply recommended remediation techniques.

  • Publication number: 20250152161
    Abstract: A knotless tissue repair assembly for attachment of tissue to bone includes an anchoring implant with a length of suture threaded therethrough. The implant is preferably a soft flexible three-dimensional structure. The implant may be actuated from a first elongate low profile shape into a second short radially expanded shape having a larger diameter than the hole through which it was placed. The suture extends through the anchor, through a tissue to be secured, and back through a designated suture-binding region or passageway within the anchor enabling the suture to be secured therein and without the need for a physician to tie a knot. Further tension applied to a suture leg approximates the tissue to the anchor until a desired tension or distance between the tissue and anchor is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20240138633
    Abstract: Compositions are provided for dissolvable solid unit dose formulations that can be used with a wand apparatus to clean a toilet surface. The formulations include anionic surfactant, a carbonate or bicarbonate salt, an organic acid, and virgin soap pellets wherein a ratio of the virgin soap pellets to the surfactant is from about 0.5:1 to about 2:1, preferably about 1:1 to about 1.5:1, and most preferably about 1.2:1 to 1.3:1. Compressed compositions retain sufficient hardness to facilitate cleaning a toilet surface but are still able to have a time to breakage when submerged in toilet water of less than 5 minutes to enable easy disposal by flushing with toilet water.
