    Abstract: A wearable computing device may be used to track the efficacy of one or more cleaning actions performed. The device can include one or more sensors that detect and measure motion associated with a cleaning event. In different examples, the movement data generated by the device can be compared to reference movement data to determine if the individual has cleaned all the objects they were expected to clean and/or if the individual has cleaned a given object sufficiently well. As another example, the movement data generated by the device can be analyzed to distinguish cleaning and non-cleaning movement actions as well as to distinguish different types of cleaning actions during cleaning movement. The quality of each cleaning action can be evaluated. In any configuration, the device may perform an operation in response to determining that ineffective cleaning is being performed, causing corrected cleaning action to be performed.

    Abstract: The compositions and methods disclosed relate to the removal of a metal from a medium, such as an aqueous medium. The aqueous medium may be, for example, wastewater, such as wastewater from the microelectronics industry. Blended compositions were discovered to be synergistically favorable for lowered toxicity and increased coagulating ability in the chemical precipitation of metal contaminants. Compositions may include, for example, polymeric DTC and TMT. Target metals may include, for example, heavy metals, such as copper, nickel, and mercury.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for cleaning industrial equipment. In one example, a method for reducing microorganism from industrial equipment includes: (1) cleaning the equipment with one or more CIP compositions using a CIP process; (2) rinsing the equipment with water; (3) adding an enzyme composition into the CIP process; (4) analyzing a sample of the fluid within the CIP process before, after, or before and after the addition of the enzyme composition to detect microorganisms; and (5) modifying the CIP process in response to any detected microorganism.
