Abstract: A flying insect station for attracting and killing insects on the exterior and interior of a structure is disclosed. The flying insect station includes features for attracting and killing files within a shortened window of time, preferably within one hour. The station includes in one aspect a surface being substantially dark in color and substantially reflective in nature to provide a facade of an opening. Suppression means such as a pesticide is included on one or more of the surfaces of the station for killing flying insects staging on the surface(s). An attractant may be used to provide a plume of attractant around surfaces of the housing to attract and lure flying insects to stage about a reflective surface.

Abstract: Stabilized peroxycarboxylic acid compositions and the solid supported peracid stabilizers are provided. Methods of producing the solid supported peracid stabilizers are provided. The solid supported peracid stabilizers and the stable peroxycarboxylic acid compositions are particularly suitable for use in sanitizing equipment and surfaces to reduce yeasts, spores and bacteria, including those having contact with food, food products and/or components thereof, which require or benefit from infection control suitable for direct contact with such food sources.

Abstract: Treatment compositions for the treatment of flowable solid polymer bodies and surfaces that come into contact with them comprise a first nonionic surfactant and a second nonionic surfactant. The first nonionic surfactant comprises a plurality of ethylene oxide groups and a plurality of butylene oxide groups. The second nonionic surfactant is different from the first nonionic surfactant and comprises a plurality of ethylene oxide groups. Treatment of flowable solid polymer bodies with the treatment composition may reduce the adhesion of the flowable solid polymer bodies to one another, and treatment of containment surfaces may reduce adhesion of flowable solid polymer bodies thereto. In the manufacture of flowable solid polymer bodies, the treatment composition may be added to the cooling water of a polymer extrusion process to inhibit fouling of surfaces contacted by the cooling water by the bodies. The treatment compositions do not exhibit undue foaming.

Abstract: Alkaline cleaning compositions using a detersive combination of surfactants, chelants and enzymes with reduced alkalinity, including between about 20-47% by percent Na2O in the liquid or solid compositions, are disclosed. Methods of using the compositions with optimal protein removal performance that overcome limitations of reduced alkalinity content for use in cleaning, rinsing, sanitizing, and disinfecting are disclosed along with methods that stabilize enzymes for multi-cycle dispensing in solid compositions.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods for reusing rinse water and recirculating wash water as well as spraying wash water and/or cleaning compositions onto textiles in order to optimize water usage, wash temperature, and composition dosage are provided. An apparatus comprising a water reservoir tank, a drain water pump, a reservoir tank water transfer pump, a control circuit box, at least one diverter drain valve, and a nozzle system comprising a spray nozzle, a valve, and connectors together with a replacement door window, pump, and tubing are further provided for use in the water reuse system. The water reuse system is beneficially combined with a customized cleaning composition to provide improved cleaning performance and effective soil removal.

Abstract: Medical device reprocessing systems, such as endoscope reprocessing systems, can include a processing chamber configured to receive one or more medical devices to be cleaned and a spray arm assembly configured to rotate relative to processing chamber. The spray arm assembly can include a spray arm and a passive emitter. A non-contact receiver coupled to the processing chamber can detect the presence of the passive emitter, and a controller in communication with the non-contact receiver can detect when the passive emitter is positioned at the detectable position proximate the non-contact receiver and increment a count of detected rotations of the spray arm assembly each time the passive emitter is positioned at the detectable position proximate the non-contact receiver and compare the count to an expected count. If the count is lower than expected, the controller can output an alert or shut down the system.
