Abstract: A method of laundering a soiled stitchbonded nonwoven towel, to provide hygienically-clean, odor-free towels having non-durable soil release polymer agents on the fabrics and stitching is described. The method has a step of washing soiled stitchbonded nonwoven towels in a first aqueous wash solution formed from a first wash composition comprising a surfactant, a builder, an alkalinity source, and a soil release polymer, at a first alkaline pH, and at a first wash temperature sufficient to remove soil on the towels without redeposition of the soil back onto the towels or into the laundry machine once the residual wash solution is drained. The method also has a step of treating the washed towels in a treatment solution formed from a post-wash composition comprising a soil release polymer agent, at a temperature and pH sufficient to aid in exhausting soil release polymer from the treatment solution and onto the towels or fabrics.

Abstract: Surface treatment articles, systems for making/loading surface treatment articles, and methods of making surface treatment articles are described. In embodiments the surface treatment articles are configured to be impregnated or otherwise loaded with a surface treatment liquid that includes a carrier and an active agent. The carrier may be or include water, and the active agent may be or include dissolved ozone, ozone degradation products, and/or ozone reaction products. The surface treatment liquid may contain a threshold concentration of active agent for a residence time that is sufficient for desired cleaning, disinfecting, and/or polishing applications.

Abstract: Systems and methods of generating landing solutions for containers onto landing surfaces using multiple measurement points generated by a measuring device or multiple measuring devices are described. In particular, methods of analyzing the plurality of measurement and from the analysis of the data, determining the location and orientation, in the container handling equipment's frame of reference, of where to place a shipping container onto a landing surface present within the equipment's workspace are described. This location can then be used by the equipment's automation system to automatically place the shipping container onto the landing surface without the need for human input, or relatively little human interaction or input. The systems and methods are applicable to operating in a landside transfer zone as well as outside such zone, and as such would be applicable to install on any container handling equipment which can land containers on equipment from above.

Abstract: Hybrid electric propulsion systems includes a combustion engine and an electric motor. The hybrid electric propulsion systems may include or utilize a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a processor associated with the hybrid electric propulsion system, cause the processor to perform a method that includes determining an occurrence of a thrust asymmetry in the hybrid electric propulsion system, and controlling the electric motor to decrease an efficiency of the electric motor for a transient time period sufficient to reduce a torque output of the combustion engine to match an electrical load on the combustion engine.

Abstract: Techniques control a utility vehicle. Such techniques involve storing electric power in a lithium battery of the utility vehicle. Such techniques further involve operating a motor controller of the utility vehicle in a normal mode in which the motor controller provides electric power from a lithium battery of the utility vehicle to an electric motor of the utility vehicle to turn one or more ground engaging members of the utility vehicle. Such techniques further involve, after operating the motor controller in the normal operating mode, operating the motor controller in a walkaway mode in which the motor controller configures the electric motor to provide braking torque.

Abstract: Described herein is a system for heating and/or cooling a fluid that includes a temperature forcing device having a bottom plate and a top plate hingedly coupled to the bottom plate. At least one of the bottom plate and the top plate has a recess or other area for receiving at least one flexible fluid holder (e.g., a polymer bag). The bottom plate and/or top plate also has at least one protrusion and/or recession in its interior wall(s) such that a fluid passageway in the flexible fluid holder is defined when the fluid holder is placed between the top and bottom plates, and the plates are closed together. The fluid holder then has a fluid inlet for receiving the fluid to be heated and/or cooled and a fluid outlet for delivering the fluid. The fluid, upon being heated and/or cooled by the temperature forcing device, may then be delivered to a patient or may be delivered to another system component, e.g., for additional heating/cooling.
