Abstract: The present application is directed to a system for collecting surface material in marine environments, comprising (1) one or more arm members extendable from an operation platform; (2) at least one sprayer releasably attachable to a distal end of at least one arm member; (3) at least one skimmer releasably attachable to a distal end of at least one arm member, the skimmer being operationally configured to collect material from a water surface; and (4) a fluid delivery means in fluid communication with the sprayer, the sprayer being operationally configured for linear discharge of fluid to a target, the direction of fluid discharge being adjustable in relation to the location of the operation platform.

Abstract: A process for forming a spaced dyed yarn, where a yarn is conveyed to a dye application station where a coordinated stream of dye is projected in a normal stream path adjacent to a first side of the yarn. The dye is applied to the yarn when a gas nozzle projects a stream of gas such that it impinges the stream of dye and diverts the stream of dye across said yarn to an alternative deflected path adjacent to the opposite side of said yarn, causing the dye to sweep over the yarn and impact and color the yarn. Upon deactivation of said gas nozzle, the stream of dye passes back across said yarn to the first side of the yarn, impacting and coloring the yarn for a second time.

Abstract: A pile fabric such as may be used in automotive and furniture upholstery and other applications which fabric incorporates a pile surface formed from variable height fibers. The pile is made up of a first group of fibers having a first height and at least a second group of fibers having a second height which is on average less than the height of the first group. A method of formation is also provided.

Abstract: Reproducing, recoloring and/or recycling of used carpet tiles is provided. In accordance with one embodiment, used carpet tiles, which are recovered, are subjected to a choosing step according to the degree of stains, etc. The chosen carpet tiles are washed with a high-pressure fluid, and entangling of piles is removed and piles raised. The resultant carpet tiles are subjected to a choosing step once again according to the degree of stains, etc. The chosen carpet tiles are treated with such a design and color for recycling as to make less visible the stains or non-uniformity in color remaining after the washing, using a design computer, etc. Thus, reproduced carpet tiles are produced and subjected a choosing step once again, and the chosen ones are shipped.

Abstract: Refurbishing and/or renewing cut or loop pile carpet products including carpet tiles by passing the product under a high pressure water or liquid dispensing head projecting a stream of water against the subject product at a pressure in the range of 100-2000 p.s.i.g. Improvements to such methods include adding a polymer backing layer to the tile, pre-bulking the face yarns, and/or chemically treating the face yarns.

Abstract: A surface covering element adapted for disposition in covering relation to a support surface. The surface covering element includes a show surface adapted to project away from the support surface when the surface covering element is disposed across the support surface and an underside adapted to project towards the support surface when the surface covering element is disposed across the support surface. A friction enhancing coating composition is disposed in coated relation across the underside at an effective level to enhance sliding friction of the surface covering element such that the surface covering element exhibits a degree of lateral grip cross across the support surface. The friction enhancing coating composition does not permanently stick to the support surface.
