Abstract: The present invention provides antimicrobial and/or antiviral properties for polymers and synthetic fibers that have stain resistant properties. The synthetic fiber comprises a polymer, such as a copolymer comprising from 85 to 99.5 percent by weight of a polyamide based on the total weight of the fiber and an aromatic sulfonate or a salt thereof present in a range from 0.5 to 10 percent by weight based on the total weight of the fiber, one or more metal compounds or ions thereof dispersed within the copolymer, and a phosphorus compound.

Abstract: For analyzing automotive inspections, a processor records a plurality of inspection results. Each inspection result comprises a region, an auto year, an auto mileage, a technician identifier, and an inspection item recommendation for each of a plurality of inspection items. The inspection item recommendation comprises one of a no service required recommendation and a service recommendation. The processor calculates a first target recommendation for a first inspection item recommendation of a first inspection result. In addition, the processor identifying an inspection bias in response a function of the first inspection item recommendation exceeds at least one of a target recommendation upper bound and the target recommendation lower bound for a first target recommendation.

Abstract: For analyzing automotive inspections, a recording module records a plurality of inspection results. Each inspection result comprises a technician identifier and an inspection item recommendation for each of a plurality of inspection items. Each inspection item comprises a target recommendation. The inspection item recommendation comprises one of a no service required recommendation and a service recommendation. An identification module identifies a recommendation bias in response to a function of first inspection item recommendations for a first inspection item of the plurality of inspection results exceeding a first target recommendation for the first inspection item.
