An apparatus and method for dispensing a sanitizing formulation

Abstract: An automatic dispensing method and apparatus for transporting separate concentrated chemicals to the site of use and then dispensing the concentrated chemicals into a storage container to create a final or intermediate composition. The automatic dispensing apparatus includes a computer program that calculates the appropriate formulation and then interfaces with a controller to cause the appropriate chemical concentrates and the appropriate volumes of those concentrates to be dispensed. A method of generating a desired formulation is also disclosed and claimed.

Treatment of denim with cellulase to produce a stone washed appearance

Abstract: Denim having a stone washed appearance is produced without stones by treating with a cellulase enzyme. Unsewn dyed denim fabric or a newly manufactured garment made of dyed denim fabric is contacted with an aqueous composition containing at least about 2500 CMCS units of cellulase per liter, and subjected to mechanical action. Preferably, the aqueous composition provides at least about 6000 CMC units of cellulase per pound of unsewn fabric or garment. The aqueous may also contain an electrolyte, a buffer, a builder salt a cellulase activator, an antioxidant and a solubilizer.

Influence of plant species and phosphorus amendments on metal speciation and bioavailability in a smelter impacted soil: a case study of food-chain contamination

Abstract: Purpose The present research aimed to assess the influence of two phosphorous (P) amendments on metal speciation in rhizosphere soil and the soil–plant transfer of metals.

Rodent bait station

Abstract: A rodent bait station includes an enclosure having an inclined passageway leading from an opening in the enclosure to an elevated bait receptacle having a removable tray with a handle The inclined passageway terminates at the lowest elevation of the opening to prevent water from becoming trapped in the enclosure A separate internal receptacle is provided in the enclosure for storing and protecting printed materials, eg, maintenance records A replaceable latch on the enclosure includes an alignment member disposed between a pair of engagement members which engage cooperative slots and which are deformable to unengaged positions by a key that wedges between the engagement members and the alignment member
