| 20080197542 | Apparatus and method for manufacturing and inspecting blow-molded plastic containers - A method and apparatus for manufacturing and inspecting plastic containers. The apparatus may comprise a blow-molder comprising a plurality of molds and spindles for forming a plastic container from a preform. The apparatus may also comprise an inspection device, located in the blow-molder, for inspecting the plastic container after formation by the blow-molder. The inspection device may comprise (i) two or more light energy sources for directing light energy from an exterior of the plastic container toward the plastic container after formation of the plastic container by the blow-molder, and (ii) two or more light energy sensors, each light energy sensor operatively associated with one of the light energy sources, wherein each light energy sensor is for sensing a portion of the light energy that passes through of the plastic container and generating a signal from the sensed portion of the light energy that passes through the plastic container that is related to the light energy absorbed by the plastic container. The apparatus may also comprise a transfer arm in the blow molder for transporting the plastic container along the transport path through the inspection device. The apparatus may also comprise a microprocessor in communication with the inspection device for (i) determining a container attribute of the plastic container based on the signals related to the light energy absorbed by the plastic container; and (ii) determining the mold involved in formation of the plastic container based on at least one signal received by the microprocessor. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20100170303 | LAUNDRY PRETREATMENT COMPOSITION AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING LAUNDRY - A method for treating laundry is provided. The method includes steps of applying a bleaching and antimicrobial composition to laundry in a laundry washing machine at a first pH that favors bleaching properties and at a second pH that favors antimicrobial properties, wherein the first pH and the second pH are different, and draining the bleaching and antimicrobial composition from the laundry. The step of applying a bleaching and antimicrobial composition to laundry can include a step of washing the laundry with a detergent composition for the removal of soil. In addition, the step of applying a bleaching and antimicrobial composition to laundry can preceed or follow a step of washing laundry with a detergent composition for the removal of soil. A bleaching and antimicrobial composition and a laundry washing machine are provided. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20080235879 | Method of producing substantially wrinkle-free textile surfaces - A method of applying a fabric relaxant to a textile surface provides a substantially wrinkle-free textile surface. The method includes moistening the textile surface, applying the fabric relaxant onto the moistened textile surface, and drying the moistened textile surface using steam. The fabric relaxant includes a hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane polymer having at least one positively-charged functional group. | 10-02-2008 |
