Improvements in the wash durability and discoloration levels for fabrics having topically applied silver-ion treatments (such as ion-exchange compounds, like zirconium phosphates, glasses and/or zeolites) are provided. Such solid compounds are generally susceptible to discoloration and, due to the solid nature thereof, are typically easy to remove from topical surface applications. The inventive treatment requires the presence of a specific polyurethane binder, either as a silver-ion overcoat or as a component of a dye bath mixture admixed with the silver-ion antimicrobial compound. In addition, specific metal halide additives (preferably substantially free from sodium ions) are utilized to combat the discolorations typical of such silver-ion formulations. As a result, wash durability, discoloration levels, or both, can be improved to the extent that after a substantial number of standard launderings and dryings, the inventive treatment does not wear away in any appreciable amount and the color of the treatment remains substantially the same as when first applied. The particular treatment method as well as the treated fabrics are also encompassed within this invention.

A method for restoring or enhancing an environmental resistant coating of a coating total thickness within a coating design thickness range on a metal substrate of an article includes the application of a restoring or enhancing metal to at least one discrete local surface area. Then at least the discrete local surface area is coated with an environmental resistant coating. For use of the method to restore a coating on an article which has experienced service operation and the discrete surface area includes an undesirable amount of oxidation/corrosion products, the oxidation/corrosion products first are removed from an outer portion of the coating while retaining a coating present at the discrete surface areas and retaining the entire coating on surface areas adjacent the discrete surface areas. Then the restoration metal is applied. For use of the method to enhance an existing coating, at least one discrete surface area is selected based on an oxidation/corrosion attack pattern identified from similar articles which experienced service operation in apparatus of a design for which the article is intended. Then the enhancing metal is applied to the selected area.

Improvements in the high-temperature wash durability and discoloration levels for fabrics having topically applied silver-ion treatments (such as ion-exchange compounds, like zirconium phosphates, glasses and/or zeolites) are provided. Such solid compounds are generally susceptible to discoloration and, due to the solid nature thereof, are typically easy to remove from topical surface applications, particularly when laundered at elevated temperatures. The inventive treatment requires the presence of a specific cross-linked binder, either as a silver-ion overcoat or as a padded-on component of a cross-linked binder admixed with the silver-ion antimicrobial compound. In addition, specific metal halide additives (preferably substantially free from sodium ions) may be utilized to combat the discolorations typical of such silver-ion formulations. As a result, high-temperature wash durability, discoloration levels, or both, can be improved to the extent that after a substantial number of standard launderings and dryings, the inventive treatment does not wear away in any appreciable amount and the color of the treatment remains substantially the same as when first applied. The particular treatment method, as well as the treated fabrics are also encompassed within this invention.

There is an anhydrous topical composition which, when spread on a topical surface and then sprayed with water, becomes effervescent and distributes the topical composition evenly over the surface. The composition has: a) a base compound of a carbonate or bicarbonate salt of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal; b) an acid compound; and c) an anhydrous carrier. The base compound and the acid compound are reactable and are present in amounts sufficient to cause the topical composition in suspension to effervesce when the topical composition is exposed to water. The effervescence acts to evenly distribute squalane over the topical surface upon which the composition was initially applied and provides a cosmetic effect if the topical surface is skin.

A haptic device operated alone or interacts with other physical or virtual devices of similar design that enable users to remotely image, analyze, or manipulate objects, either manually and or with the assistance of computer programs. The device extends and retracts “pins” in reaction to messages from a processor, and to external pressure applied to the pins' topical surface. A support structure provides a constant geometric plane. An operating system is provided that is capable of interaction for any one of a collection of devices of varying size and function. Multiple devices that are paired or otherwise positioned relative to one another, or scaled in size relative to one another, can be controlled to operate in cooperation with one another.

The invention relates to a manufacturing process for chemically plating a NiP-Cu electrode on the partial surface of a ceramic element, in particular to a process for manufacturing an electrode by a chemical deposition method for base metal copper or nickel. The process comprises the following steps of: preparing the ceramic element, cleaning, drying, roughening, printing, activating, soaking, preplating, plating copper, dehydrating, drying, performing heat treatment, welding, testing and the like. The invention has the advantages that: a base metal layer on the surface of the ceramic element has high adhesion force and high performance and is easy to weld; the partial surface is chemically plated, so that the process is simple, and adhering, abrading and scattering processes of the conventional full electrode chemical plating process are eliminated; raw materials are saved, and the cost is reduced to one fifth of the original cost; and a plating solution formula is perfected, so that mass production of the electrode which is chemically plated on the partial surface of the ceramic element can be realized. The process is suitable for manufacturing electrodes of all ceramic elements.

The present invention relates to a partial chemical plating long tube whole or partial surface method used for raising inner bore surface coating uniformity and workpiece service life. Said method includes 1, adopts plating solution trough having electroless plating liquid, plating solution drive unit, connecting chemical plating long tube to form loop through pipe and valve; 2, starting up plating solution drive unit to fill chemical plating liquid in long tube simultaneously adopting heater relatively moving outside long tube to heat chemical plating liquid in long tube, making chemical plating to long tube inner surface; 3, continue circulation using chemical plating liquid back flown to plating solution trough until long tube inner surface whole or partial chemical plating ending. Heater and workpiece relatively move at 0.1-500mm/ min speed; chemical plating liquid continuously pass through workpiece inner bore at 0-500mm/ s speed.

The present invention provides a hand-held, noninvasive diagnostic device for measuring the electric fields in mammalian skin and other epithelial structures. The device includes an outer housing that contacts the skin, providing stability and allowing the device to move along with minor movement of the skin. Recessed within the outer housing is a probe that acts as a sensor to measure the electric field in the skin through an aperture in the bottom surface of the outer housing. By applying a series of known voltages while the probe is vibrating, the skin's local surface potential can be measured and the lateral electric field can be calculated from the spatial distribution of surface potential measurements. Active feedback is used to maintain a constant distance between the probe and the skin surface.
