Abstract: A no-rinse freshening composition for treating an inanimate surface or article is described. The freshening composition includes: at least 85% by weight of the freshening composition of water; a carboxylic acid; a salt of citric acid; and a mixture of first and second antimicrobial agents, wherein each of the first and second antimicrobial agents is according to Formula (I). The composition has a neat pH of from 3 to 6 at room temperature and a weight ratio of the total amount of the carboxylic acid and the salt of citric acid to the mixture of the first and second antimicrobial agents is from 1:1 to 10:1.

Abstract: An antibacterial air freshening product for an interior environment. The product includes a container containing 1 ml to 50 ml of a freshening composition in fluid communication with a membrane. The composition is substantially free of a surfactant and has from 0.5% to 20% of a volatile aldehyde mixture, by weight of the composition. The volatile aldehyde mixture includes a C5 to C8 unbranched unsubstituted linear alkenal and a C9 to C14 unbranched unsubstituted linear alkenal. A weight ratio of the C5 to C8 unbranched unsubstituted linear alkenal to the C9 to C14 unbranched unsubstituted linear alkenal is from 3:1 to 1:3.

Abstract: An anti-microbial cleaning composition, comprising: by weight of the composition, from 0.001% to 3% of a nonionic anti-microbial agent, and from 0.1% to 3% of a soil dispersant. The anti-microbial cleaning composition provides desired performance in both cleaning and anti-microbial aspects.

Abstract: A liquid anti-microbial laundry detergent composition, comprising: by weight of the composition, from 0.001% to 3% of a nonionic anti-microbial agent, and from 0.1% to 2.5% of an organic solvent that is a C1-C6 alcohol. The liquid anti-microbial laundry detergent composition demonstrates a good stability portfolio, as well as comparable cleaning performance.

Abstract: An anti-microbial laundry detergent composition, comprising: by weight of the composition, from 0.001% to 3% of an anti-microbial agent that is a diphenyl ether, from 3% to 50% of an anionic surfactant system comprising an alkyl ethoxy sulfate (AES) and a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), and from 0.1% to 10% of an alkoxylated nonionic surfactant. The laundry detergent composition provides an improved anti-microbial benefit towards treated fabrics.

Abstract: The use of a laundry detergent composition for providing an anti-microbial benefit. The laundry detergent composition comprises at least 2.9%, preferably from 3.2% to 30%, more preferably from 4.3% to 20%, by weight of the composition, of a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), and the laundry detergent composition is capable of delivering a free LAS monomer level of more than 60 ppm, preferably from 67 ppm to 500 ppm, more preferably from 88 ppm to 300 ppm, in a laundry washing liquor.

Abstract: Producing vehicles by using a plurality of production lines allowing the vehicles to successively pass through a welding step, a coating step and an assembling step in each line, in accordance with an increase or decrease in the number of vehicles to be produced in the respective production lines, some of the vehicles in one of the production lines which has less of a margin for production are transferred, after passing through the welding step, to another production line at a portion between its welding step and coating step which line has more of a margin for production. With this arrangement, when it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the number of vehicles in the lines, it is possible to produce vehicles without changing the production ability in the respective steps after the welding step, only by adjusting the number of vehicles in the welding step of the production line which has a less of a margin for production.

Abstract: In producing vehicles by using a plurality of production lines allowing the vehicles to successively pass through a welding step, a coating step and an assembling step, in accordance with an increase or decrease in the production of vehicles in the respective production lines, some of the vehicles in one of the production lines which has less margin for producing vehicles are transferred, after passing through said welding step, to another production line between a welding step and coating step which another production line has more margin for producing vehicles. With this arrangement, when it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the production of vehicles in the respective production lines, it is possible to produce vehicles with high efficiency without changing the production ability in the respective steps after passing through the welding step, only by adjusting the production of vehicles in the welding step in the production line which has less margin for producing vehicles.

Abstract: Base regions of first and second stage transistors are formed in a semiconductor substrate consisting of low and high resistivity collector layers, and emitter regions are formed in the respective base regions. The emitter region of the second stage transistor has an interdigital structure with a plurality of finger portions, and an emitter surface electrode is formed on the emitter region of the second stage transistor. The second stage transistor emitter surface electrode has an extending portion at a position spaced apart from a transistor operation region where the finger portions are formed. An emitter connection electrode is formed on the extending portion, and a lead is connected by soldering or the like to the emitter connection electrode.
