Publication number: 20110061686Abstract: The liquid composition is based on surfactants and enzymes, and is particularly useful for manual cleaning of instruments. In manual and ultrasonic application the composition in use concentration shows low foaming and gives a cleaning solution which is not cloudy at least at a temperature in the range from 16° C. to 40° C. In addition, the composition has good cleaning efficacy over a broad temperature range (20 to 55° C.) and shows good material compatibility.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2010Publication date: March 17, 2011Applicant: ECOLAB USA INC.Inventors: Laurence Geret, Carola Stingl, Silke Denzin

Publication number: 20110061687Abstract: Apparatuses for preparing a surface of a substrate using a proximity head includes a carrier to hold and move the substrate along an axis and a proximity head having a head surface with a plurality of outlet ports defined thereon. The proximity head is defined to be positioned proximate and over the carrier and the surface of the substrate. A length of the head surface of the proximity head is defined to be greater than a diameter of the substrate and at least partially overlapping over the carrier when the substrate is present. The proximity head includes a first set of outlet ports in a first region defining a first applicator that is configured to apply a non-Newtonian fluid between a surface of the carrier and the head surface of the proximity head. A second set of outlet ports in a second region of the proximity head defines a second applicator that is configured to apply a first chemistry to the surface of the substrate when present. The second region is adjacent to the first region.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2010Publication date: March 17, 2011Applicant: LAM RESEARCH CORPORATIONInventors: Katrina Mikhaylichenko, Mike Ravkin, Fritz Redeker, John M. de Larios, Erik M.

Publication number: 20110061689Abstract: Produce is harvested and de-cored in a field where they are grown. The de-cored produce is loaded in totes and transported to a processing facility. The processing facility includes a washing device that immerses the de-cored ends of the produce in a tank of washing fluid (e.g., a cleaning solution that includes anti-bacterial agents). In one embodiment, a flow of washing fluid is directed through the de-cored end of the produce and out a leafy end of the produce while the produce is still loaded in totes. A washing device having a tank and a transport mechanism that moves totes loaded with de-cored produce into the tank. Optionally, a device such as a pump maintains a flow in the tank in a direction toward de-cored ends of produce.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2010Publication date: March 17, 2011Inventors: Josh Mitchell, Stephen F.
