Abstract: A low cost, reduced form factor, high performance electronic device for use in electronic circuits and methods. In one exemplary embodiment, the device includes a unitary header assembly construction that ensures device coplanarity and also includes vertically oriented terminal pins. The device utilizes preconfigured flat coil windings that are disposed directly within a planar core. The flat coil windings further include features that are configured to mate with the header assembly terminal pins which substantially simplify the manufacturing process. Methods for manufacturing the device are also disclosed.

Abstract: Optical assemblies for use in medical or other devices so as to image an object under examination onto an image sensor include a plurality of lens elements that can be retained in lens barrel. The lens elements and the lens barrel can be sealed with a compressible gasket. In one example, at least one lens element is made of an injection-moldable plastic and at least one lens element is made of a relatively dispersive optical glass. A lens barrel diameter or lens diameter can be selected to permit access to the object under examination with surgical or other tools. Aperture plates can be situated so as to reduce flare in the object image.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of an embedded inductor comprises the steps of: pre-forming a magnetic core having at least two side walls for defining an accommodating space, disposing a coil in the accommodating space of the magnetic core, and pressing the magnetic core for deconstructing and redistributing tops of the side walls to cover the coil.

Abstract: Foamed two-part hard surface treatment composition which is formed by the admixture of two aqueous compositions, particularly (a) an aqueous alkaline composition comprising a bleach constituent, with (b) an aqueous acidic composition comprising a peroxide constituent, which compositions are kept separate, but which are admixed immediately prior to use or upon use to form a foamed hard surface treatment composition. The foamed two-part hard surface treatment composition are particularly useful in the cleaning of hard surfaces. Preferred foamed two-part hard surface treatment composition provide both a cleaning and sanitizing or disinfecting benefit to hard surfaces, while releasing little or no free chlorine gas to the ambient air.

Abstract: Aqueous compositions comprising a synergistic combination of sodium hydroxide, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, and either benzyl alcohol or propylene glycol phenyl ether are described. The compositions provide good germicidal efficacy against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria on hard surfaces and the like. Processes for the sanitization of hard surfaces wherein the presence of Gram positive and/or Gram negative bacteria is suspected are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a non-cationic antimicrobial agent containing composition which blooms when added to water. The compositions have good cleaning, disinfecting and bloom properties.

Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous liquid thickened cleaning and/or disinfecting composition comprising: an alkaline source; at least one surfactant selected from anionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof; at least one thickener selected from polysaccharides, polycarboxylates, polyacrylamides, clays, and mixtures thereof; a solvent selected from alcohols, glycol ethers, and mixtures thereof; at least one abrasive material optionally, one or more materials selected from perfumes and perfume stabilizers, builders, rheology stabilizers; pH and buffering agents, electrolytes, pigments, colorants and the like. Also disclosed are processes for cleaning and/or disinfection of surfaces, especially hard surfaces, wherein the presence of Gram positive type pathogenic bacteria and/or Gram negative type pathogenic bacteria are suspected.

Abstract: Liquid cleaning and/or disinfecting composition which is separated into two phases at rest are combined and dispersed within each other upon shaking.
