  • Publication number: 20170029797
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of automatic dishwashing detergent compositions, as well as methods of making and using same. In particular, it relates to an automatic dishwashing detergent composition comprising a new protease. The automatic dishwashing detergent composition provides improved cleaning and finishing. In particular the composition of the invention provides better proteinaceous removal at the same level of other proteases available in the market. This also alternatively allows for the use of a lower level of the protease of the invention and therefore a more cost effective composition.

  • Publication number: 20160254696
    Abstract: A transmitter module is used in a wireless charging system, and is used for performing in-band communication with a receiver module in the wireless charging system to provide a message to the receiver module. The transmitter module has a matching network, a rectifier and an impedance component. The matching network has at least one input terminal coupled to a coil of the transmitter module and at least one output terminal. The rectifier is coupled to the output terminal of the matching network. The impedance component is selectively coupled to the output terminal of the matching network to vary a reflected impedance of the transmitter module seen by the receiver module. By varying the reflected impedance of the transmitter module seen by the receiver module, the transmitter module communicates with the receiver module to provide power control commands, status and/or foreign object detection information.
