A medium for purifying fluids containing toxic compounds can be made by a method which comprises applying a dispersion of a halogenated heterocyclic N-halamine in an inert liquid carrier to the surface of a substrate having a high surface area and allowing the inert liquid carrier to penetrate into the substrate, wherein the inert liquid carried does not react with halogen atoms in the halogenated heterocyclic N-halamine, wherein the halogenated heterocyclic N-halamine is capable of destroying the toxic compound by oxidative action, and wherein the halogenated heterocyclic N-halamine becomes deposited on the surface of the substrate after the inert liquid carrier penetrates into the substrate.

Techniques are described for providing clients with access to events occurring during execution of defined workflows, such as under the control of a event monitoring service that is available to multiple subscribers, such as over one or more public networks. A configurable workflow service may automatically create events when a defined workflow executes, and, provide the events to the event monitoring service, which may respond to the generated events by taking various actions, such as providing event notifications, initiating workflow instances, etc.

Methods and systems are provided to generate a base digital file for a garment and a custom digital file for the garment, which may be used in garment production. For example, a system may receive information providing various specifications for manufacturing a garment, generate a base digital file for the garment, receive a request to transform the garment from a first garment size to a second garment size, and then generate a custom digital file for the garment by applying custom user body measurements to the base digital file or by applying a grading scale.

Generating digital files for garment production

Disclosed are various embodiments for determining whether food in a refrigerator has spoiled. In one embodiment, a refrigerator includes a compartment that has an interior space configured to contain a food item. A chemical sensor can be mounted within an interior of the refrigerator. The chemical sensor can be configured to at least measure an amount of a chemical related to spoilage of the food item in the compartment.

Methods and systems are provided to generate a base digital file for a garment, which may be used in garment production. For example, a system may receive a library from a data source and generate a base digital file for the garment. The base digital file may include a garment identifier, a panel object associated with a panel identifier and references to garment information in the library, and a seam object representing a seam that forms a portion of the garment.

Digital file structure for garment production

Articles can be provided with odor resistance by applying a dispersion of a halogenated heterocyclic N-halamine in an inert liquid carrier onto the surface of the article and allowing the inert liquid carrier to penetrate into it. The N-halamine accordingly becomes deposited on the surface of the article after the inert liquid carrier penetrates into the article. This method can be used to provide odor resistance to a variety of substrates, including garbage bags. It can also be used to deposit other functional particulates onto the surface of substrates having sufficient porosity to take up the vehicle. For instance, such functional particles can be oxidants that display antimicrobial and/or enzyme inhibitory efficacy or particles having toxin interaction potentials through oxidative degradation or adsorption of toxic substances in air and/or water, such as fluoride uptake by metal oxide microparticles.

N-halamine composition for the prevention and elimination of odors

Halogenated heterocyclic N-halamine coated garbage bags

The present invention includes multifunctional compositions, methods and binding systems to provide disinfecting and deodorizing coatings for hard and soft surfaces, inorganic and organic solid surfaces and particulate media and other related substrates, including human and animal skin and skin lesions; to provide neutralizing functions for malodors generated by both human, animal and industrial fluids and solid wastes; and to provide neutralizing and degrading functions for nuisance and noxious chemicals. The present invention provides compositions and methods for producing disinfecting, oxidizing and enzyme-inhibiting fluids enabling preparation of durable, stable biocidal and deodorizing coatings and media which can be widely used for biological agent control, prevention and elimination of odors, and degradation of noxious agents susceptible to chemical oxidation, and which take forms that are inoffensive to users and offer high convenience.

A contributed test management system receives a first request from a consumer system, where the first request comprises a request for a contributed test to be added to a deployment pipeline of a producer system, and where the contributed test is associated with an application component in the deployment pipeline. The contributed test management system causes the contributed test to test a code update provided by the producer system for the application component in the deployment pipeline, detects whether the first test fails during execution, and, if so indicates to the consumer system that the first test has failed.

Disclosed are various embodiments for determining whether food in a refrigerator has spoiled. An application executing on a computing device receives an identification of a food item located in a compartment of the refrigerator. The application then receives a chemical sensor reading from the refrigerator, wherein the chemical sensor reading represents a measured amount of a chemical associated with spoilage of the food item. Subsequently, the application determines that the measured amount of the chemical associated with spoilage of the food item exceeds a threshold amount of the chemical associated with spoilage of the food item. Finally, the application sends a notification to the client device, the notification comprising an indication that the food item is spoiled.

Disclosed are various embodiments for discovering workflows through analysis of user actions. Workflow descriptions are entered by multiple users over a period of time as the users perform user actions. Each workflow description includes a sequence of user action descriptions. The workflow descriptions are modeled as directed graphs, and one or more candidate workflows are determined by identifying a set of isomorphic directed graphs from the directed graphs.

Workflow discovery through user action monitoring

Disclosed are various embodiments for determining whether food in a refrigerator has spoiled. An application executing on a computing device receives an image from a refrigerator of a compartment of the refrigerator. The application then analyzes the image to identify a food item in the image. Subsequently, the application analyzes the image to identify a potentially spoiled area of the food item. The application then compares the potentially spoiled area of the food item to a model of a spoiled food item. Afterwards, the application determines that the identified food item has spoiled based at least in part on a comparison of the potentially spoiled area of the identified food item to the model of the spoiled food item.
