Abstract:
A fluid distribution device (12) for distributing cleaning fluid to the floor surface comprises a hollow tube extender (56) attached to a hollow fixed shaft (52). A hub assembly (58) having a plurality of hollow open-ended spokes (60, 1-5) is rotatably mounted to the tube extender (56). If used with a brush floor cleaning apparatus a portion of each spoke extends into and terminates within a radial passage (42, 1-5) in the brush (32).
Abstract:
Continuous processes for converting cycloalkenes into ozonides in which ozone is reacted with a cycloalkene to form an ozonide solution. A portion of the solution is recycled back to the reaction, and additional cycloalkene is provided.
Abstract:
Anti-tack additives for elastic fibers and methods of preparing the same are included. The elastic fibers include a substituted cellulose additive.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 7-hydroxyheptanoate methyl ester and heptanoic acid heptyl ester using one or more of a fatty acid O-methyltransferase, an alcohol O-acetyltransferase, and a monooxygenase, as well as recombinant hosts expressing one or more of such exogenous enzymes. 7-hydroxyheptanoate methyl esters and heptanoic acid heptyl esters can be enzymatically converted to pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoate, 7-hydroxyheptanoate, heptamethylenediamine, or 1,7-heptanediol.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing glutaric acid, 5-aminopentanoic acid, 5-hydroxypentanoic acid, cadaverine or 1,5-pentanediol by forming one or two terminal functional groups, comprised of carboxyl, amine or hydroxyl group, in a C5 backbone substrate such as 2-oxoglutarate, the substrate being 2-oxo-adipate.
