    Abstract: An interactive dispenser, used to provide a powdered, liquid or personal use or care chemical, can provide a message prompted by the proximity of a user to a sensor. Personal care liquids can include hand cleaners, hand and body lotion, sun blocks, sun screens, poison ivy treatment materials, burn ointments, body powders, solid hand soap bars, etc. A variety of messages can be provided to the user including a reminder to use the materials provided by the dispenser, instructional information, safety information, use directions for the chemical, use directions for the dispenser, or any other message. The message can be provided in a visual message such as an electronic scroll, an aural message derived from an electronic voice synthesizer. Such a message can be combined with a musical program, other light displays, etc. The sensor can be mounted on the dispenser in the form of a push button, an actuator triggered by the installation of new chemical, can be a motion sensor detecting the presence of a user, can be a remote sensor sensing the presence of a user at a remote site from the dispenser, involving the use of equipment used in conjunction with the dispenser such as a urinal, toilet, bathroom sink, etc. The overall purpose of coupling a user proximity generated prompt to generating a message is the improved efficacy of use of the dispenser or its chemical contents.

    Abstract: Un sistema de dosificacion de multiples productos (100) incluye una pluralidad de dosificadores de solucion de uso (10a, 10b, 10c), y un controlador (110) para seleccionar uno de los dosificadores (10a, 10b, 10c), de acuerdo con un régimen previamente establecido, por ejemplo, seleccionar diferentes dosificadores en diferentes días de la semana. Cada dosificador (10a, 10b, 10c) dosifica una concentracion controlada de solucion de uso utilizando un aparato de entrega de diluyente (13) que entrega un diluyente para formar un concentrado líquido a partir de una composicion química solida (22) y para formar diluyentes de relleno para diluir el concentrado líquido y formar una solucion de uso de una concentracion controlada. Un reductor de espuma (24) reduce la energía cinética del diluyente de relleno antes de mezclarlo con el concentrado líquido para reducir la espumacion. Un operador sin experiencia puede operar el sistema de dosificacion (100) para dosificar una solucion de uso de una concentracion cuidadosamente controlada, y el controlador (110) seleccionará automáticamente el dosificador apropiado de acuerdo con el régimen previamente establecido, sin una entrada adicional por parte del operador. Por consiguiente, se reduce mucho la posibilidad de que se presenten errores del operador mediante la seleccion automática del dosificador apropiado (10a, 10b, 10c) y el control sobre la concentracion de la solucion de uso.

    Abstract: A stable, substantially homogeneous, solid block cleaning composition can be made for general purpose cleaning and for cleaning hard surfaces such as floors of varying surface composition. Unique solid block materials contain substantially useful concentrations of liquid acid materials, but are in the form of a stable solid. The acidic solid detergent can be dispensed using a water spray creating a concentrate which can then be diluted in proper ratio to form the use-solution. Such use-solutions may be applied to remove a variety of soils subject to acid cleaning including soils containing water hardness components, inorganic soils, and the like. The acid cleaners can be used alone or in combination with other cleaners in a cleaning protocol for a variety of hospitality, industrial or institutional cleaning locations having a broad spectrum of contaminated soil residue.

    Abstract: The invention provides a urea based solid composition and a process for preparing a homogeneous, urea-based, solid cleaning composition. Cleaning compositions for use in warewashing and cleaning hard surfaces, rinsing, sanitizing, deodorizing, and the like, made by the method are also provided. The ingredients are charged into a heated mixing apparatus and when uniform are transferred into a mold or other packaging system for dispensing the detergent. The consistency of the composition ranges from that of a fused solid block to a malleable article.

    Abstract: We have found an alkaline warewashing detergent composition that can contain a critical amount of a nonionic rinse agent that when used in automatic warewashing machines permits the use of a potable water rinse without the addition of a separate rinse agent. Sufficient residual nonionic surfactant from the alkaline detergent remains on the surface ware and internal machine and rack surfaces after washing to promote adequate sheeting in the rinse cycle. The residual nonionic surfactant on internal surfaces dissolves in the rinse water to create an effective aqueous rinse agent. The nonionic rinse agents can be a single nonionic for both foam reduction cleaning and sheeting or can be a blend of nonionic materials providing these functions. The detergent can be in the form of a particulate, pelletized or block solid. The detergent can be used in a variety of high temperature and low temperature automatic warewashing machines including large multizone conveyor machines, or relatively small institutional machines that have a single washing chamber.
