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.

Reducing illnesses and infections caused by ineffective cleaning by tracking and controlling cleaning efficacy

A system includes a server connected to a network. The server includes a data collection module, a database interaction module, and a predictive analysis module. The data collection module is configured to collect data, via the network, from one or more data sources, the data being related to food safety risk and sanitation compliance tracking of a food establishment. The database interaction module is configured to store, into a database, data collected by the data collection module and to retrieve data from the database. The predictive analysis module is configured to analyze data in the database and calculate, based on the analyzed data, a probability of the food establishment violating a health code.

Food safety risk and sanitation compliance tracking

The present invention provides a coating composition having excellent damage tolerance. The coating composition includes a binder system comprising at least a fluoropolymer, optionally, one or more other resin components, a crosslinking component and at least one inorganic filler and organic filler. Coated articles with the coating composition applied to at least a portion of a surface thereof are also provided.

Damage-tolerant coating

Hygiene management for reducing illnesses and infections caused by ineffective hygiene practices

A silicone-modified polyester resin and methods for making the resin are described herein. The method includes production of a siliconized intermediate which is then esterified to give a silicone-modified polyester resin. Coating compositions including the silicone-modified polyester resin are provided, and coated articles with the coating composition applied to at least a portion of a surface thereof are also provided.

Silicone-modified polyester coating

The present invention provides a coating composition having excellent adhesion to metal substrates. The coating composition includes a binder comprising a polyester resin having an adhesion promoting group and an optional crosslinker. The present invention also provides articles having the coating composition applied to at least a portion of a surface thereof.

Polyester coating composition

An alkyd resin formed by reacting waste cooking oil, one or more aromatic polycarboxylic acids, aliphatic polycarboxylic acids, or esterified polymerization products, and one or more polyols.

Production of polymers from waste cooking oil

A primer/topcoat coil coating system employs crosslinkable branched hydroxyl-functional polyester-imide resins derived or derivable from a symmetric aromatic imide triol and a diacid or acid-producing derivative. The primer resin has a hydroxyl number greater than about 90 but not more than about 215, the topcoat resin has a hydroxyl number greater than about 100 but not more than about 215, and the primer and topcoat can each be hardened in 30 seconds or less to provide a coating having at least 0T flexibility with no tape off and at least 2H pencil hardness.

Crosslinkable imide polyester coating

A high reflectivity coated substrate and coating composition employing a binder that includes a cycloaliphatic group and contains a polyester resin having a number average molecular weight from about 1,000 to 40,000. The binder contains less than 40 weight percent aromatic group containing compound and the weight ratio of pigment to binder is greater than 0.9:1. When the binder is blended with rutile TiOat a solids loading of 50 weight percent and coated to a dried film thickness of 0.00254 cm, the coating exhibits a Y-value of at least 85.5.

High-reflectivity polyester coating

A high reflectivity coated substrate and coating composition employing a binder containing a polyester resin that includes a cycloaliphatic group and has a number average molecular weight from about 1,000 to 40,000. The binder contains less than 40 weight percent aromatic group containing compound and the weight ratio of pigment to binder is greater than 0.9:1. When the binder is blended with rutile TiOat a solids loading of 50 weight percent and coated to a dried film thickness of 0.00254 cm, the coating exhibits a Y-value of at least 85.5.

The present invention provides a high reflectivity lighting fixture, comprising a coated reflector and a light source. The reflector is coated with a composition that includes a cycloaliphatic group containing polyester resin and a pigment. The present invention also provides coating compositions that may be used on other articles where high reflectivity is desired.
