An insect capture device is used to monitor, capture, and/or kill insects. The device has a raised portion to create a gap between a surface and the device to entice insects to pass under. At the raised portion, a glue board includes an adhesive facing the surface. As the insect passes under the raised portion, the insect can unknowingly become attached to the adhesive portion and stuck thereto. To aid in installing the glue board, one or more sections of the glue board can be free of adhesive to connect or fit to a part of the device to hold the glue board in place, while also allowing for easy removal to replace the glue board with a new one, free of captured insects.

The present disclosure relates to a process and a system for assessing the performance of cleaning operations by utilizing an automatic read out routine for test strips subjected to a cleaning operation. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a computer program product capable of performing the process.

Methods and system for performance assessment of cleaning operations

A product dispenser mounting system includes a dispenser holder body configured to support a product dispenser; and a mounting apparatus configured to fixedly mount on a support object and to removably connect to the dispenser holder body in one or more orientations such that dispenser holder body is maintained in a selected one of the one or more orientations when the dispenser holder body is connected to the mounting apparatus. The system may also include at least one actuation sensor configured to detect actuation of the product dispenser.

Flexible mounting system for hand hygiene dispensers

A system for dispensing a detergent solution from a solid detergent into a dishwasher includes a dispenser that can collect water sprayed into the dishwasher and use the collected water to produce the detergent solution by dissolving a portion of the solid detergent, controlling the amount of the detergent solution produced, and releasing the produced detergent solution between cleaning cycles. The dispenser can perform these functions automatically without being electrically powered.

Solid detergent dispenser for a washing machine

A strainer basket system may include a reservoir in which a strainer basket is positioned and a chemical dispensing docking station. The chemical dispensing docking station may have a cavity that receives a container of chemical to be dispensed and a retention mechanism that is configured to mechanically engage and retain the container of chemical, when inserted into the cavity. The docking station may also include a piercing member positioned to pierce the container of chemical as the container of chemical is inserted into the cavity, thereby releasing chemical into the reservoir and/or strainer basket.

Dispensing system for transferring chemical into a strainer basket assembly

A dispenser includes a dock configured to be fixed in place at a use device and a solid product holder configured to be removably secured to the dock. The dock has a first portion including a fixation element that is configured to fix the dock in place at the use device and a second portion including a receiving structure. The solid product holder includes a retaining structure, a base, and a support structure. The retaining structure is configured to removably secure the solid product holder to the receiving structure at the second portion of the dock. The base defines a plurality of apertures that form an open area at which the liquid is received at the solid product holder. The support structure extends from the base and defines an internal volume for holding the solid product at the solid product holder.

Dispenser and solution dispensing method

A flexible mounting system for a chemical product dispenser includes a dispenser holder and at least one mounting apparatus. A releasable connection mechanism provides for attachment of the dispenser holder to the mounting apparatus. The releasable connection mechanism may provide for attachment of the dispenser holder to the mounting apparatus in multiple orientations. In one example, the mounting apparatus includes a mounting bracket configured for mounting to a support object, such as a wall, table, counter top, cabinet, shelf, cart etc. In another example, the mounting apparatus includes a mounting clamp configured for mounting to ledges, poles, bedrails, handles, etc.

A material wetting system for wetting a powder material includes a liquid supply system, a material mixing unit, a material supply system, and a shroud assembly. The liquid supply system includes a supply line. The material mixing unit is in fluid communication with the supply line and includes a central cavity having an open upper end configured to receive a supply of powder material. The material mixing unit is configured to receive liquid from the supply line and is operatively connected to a reduced pressure source to draw air into the central cavity. The material supply system includes an orifice and is configured to feed powder material through the orifice, with the orifice disposed above the central cavity of the material mixing unit. The shroud assembly is disposed about the open upper end of the central cavity of the material mixing unit and the orifice of the material supply system.

Material wetting system with shroud assembly

A hopper system for powder material includes a hopper and a cover. The hopper has hopper sidewalls that extend downward from an upper end of the hopper with at least one of the hopper sidewalls being sloped along a portion thereof. A hopper axis extends vertically between at least some of the hopper sidewalls. The cover is disposed at the upper end of the hopper and includes an opening configured for the powder material to flow therethrough and into the hopper. The opening defines a vertical material loading axis that is offset relative to the hopper axis. A diverter member may be provided that is positioned along the material loading axis and configured to divert the powder material entering through the opening. A powder material feed system may be disposed adjacent the lower end of the hopper to feed the powder material from the hopper.

Powder material hopper system with offset loading

A flexible mounting system for a chemical product dispenser includes a dispenser holder and at least one mounting apparatus. The dispenser holder may be attached to the mounting apparatus by means of a releasable connection mechanism. The releasable connection mechanism may provide for attachment of the dispenser holder to the mounting apparatus in multiple orientations. In one example, the mounting apparatus includes a mounting bracket configured for mounting to a support object, such as a wall, table, counter top, cabinet, shelf, cart etc. In another example, the mounting apparatus includes a mounting clamp configured for mounting to ledges, poles, bedrails, handles, etc.

Dispensing systems utilize shaped cartridges to dispense one or more different types of chemical product concentrates. The chemical product concentrates may include, for example, tablets, capsules, encapsulated pellets or loose powders, or any other unit dose form factor. The chemical product concentrates may also include loose pellets or loose powders, or any other form of chemical product concentrate. The chemical product concentrates are dispensed from a plurality of shaped dispensing cartridges having different geometrically shaped cross-sections. Each cross-sectional shape may correspond to a different type of chemical product concentrate. Dispensing units include one or more shaped receptacles, each having a different geometrically shaped cross-section sized to receive a geometrically compatible one of the shaped dispensing cartridges. The dispensing units may further include shaped dispensing fitments sized to receive a geometrically compatible neck of a product container.

Shaped cartridge dispensing systems

A material supply assembly includes a valve assembly having an outer valve member and an inner valve member rotatable relative to the outer valve member. A base assembly includes an base structure and an actuator. An engagement structure is operative between the outer valve member and the actuator to prevent relative movement between the outer valve member and the actuator. A locking structure is operative between the inner valve member and the base structure to prevent relative movement between the inner valve member and the base structure. Movement of the actuator relative to the base structure moves the outer valve member relative to the inner valve member to operate the valve assembly.
