20130072410 | Cleaning Formulations with Improved Surfactant Solubility and Methods of Production and Use Thereof - The present invention provides liquid cleaning compositions useful in cold water and hard water laundry applications, and methods for making and using such compositions. The compositions of the invention use surfactants or surfactant blends, such as α-sulfofatty acid esters or mixtures thereof (optionally along with one or more additional components), that have increased solubility/stability at cold temperatures, at higher-than-usual concentrations, and/or in hard water, with the composition remaining as a clear liquid. In certain embodiments, the compositions of the invention may be provided in the form of a unit dose, for example in a water-soluble pack or pouch. In use, the compositions of the invention result in an enhanced detergency along with a reduced amount of residue remaining in the machine, on laundered garments or cleaned dishware or hard surfaces, and on the body in personal care settings, and demonstrate a longer shelf-life, particularly when stored or used in colder temperatures. | 03-21-2013 |

The ratchet assembly allows a user to rotate the table from a stowed position, generally within the poles of a handle assembly, to a cantilevered position across the top of a piece of luggage. The user then unfolds the table of three plates into a flat shape, generally level but with at least two alternate angles. The invention fits into a storage sleeve placed within the handle assembly and within the luggage. The storage sleeve prevents luggage contents from entangling with the table and other components of the invention. | 04-28-2016 |

20120225176 | DEVICE FOR TIMING AND AUTOMATICALLY STEEPING TEA - Steeping loose leaf tea necessitates that one utilize some sort of filtration device. All current devices that seek to fulfill this requirement are either manual, such as empty tea bags and stainless steel mesh filters, or very expensive electronic automatic steepers. In addition to a filtration device one must use a timer to determine how long to steep the tea leaves. Ordinarily, when the timer goes off, one must remove the tea leaves and filter from the water; otherwise, the tea will over-steep and become bitter or over-caffeinated. Current timers do not stop the tea from steeping, but only signal that it is done, leaving the removal of the tea leaves up to the individual. | 09-06-2012 |
