US Patent:

57893640, Aug 4, 1998

Filed:

Jun 13, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/664040

Inventors:

Todd Douglas Sells - Alamo CA
David Lawrence DeLeeuw - San Ramon CA
Michael Koerner - Tucson AZ

Assignee:

The Clorox Company - Oakland CA

International Classification:

C11D 1704
C11D 742
C11D 1700
C11D 3386

US Classification:

510284

Abstract:

The invention provides a high water liquid enzyme prewash composition essentially free of hydrotropes, solvents, dispersants and surfactants, other than nonionic surfactants, combining: a hydrolase enzyme stabilized with a first enzyme stabilizer, wherein the first enzyme stabilizer is a soluble alkaline earth salt; a more hydrophilic, first nonionic surfactant having an HLB of greater than about 11; a more hydrophobic, second nonionic surfactant having an HLB of less than or equal to about 11; and at least about 80-99% water; wherein the difference in HLB between the first and the second nonionic surfactants is at least 2; the nonionic surfactants interact with the water to form an opalescent, structured liquid; the first and the second nonionic surfactants are selected from the group consisting of alkoxylated alcohols and alkoxylated alkylphenols; the structured liquid both suspends the hydrolase and protects the hydrolase against deactivation with water. The inventive high water liquid enzyme prewash compositions may also contain a second hydrolase enzyme and a second enzyme stabilizer. Suitable adjuncts, such as mildewstats, bacteriostats, fragrances and dyes may also be included.

International Classification:

F02C 7268

US Classification:

6039002

Abstract:

A multifunction secondary power system (10) for use aboard an aircraft or other vehicle provides the functions both of an auxiliary power unit and of an emergency power unit. The power system (10) includes two turbine engines (12, 22) operable under differing conditions, a gearbox (34) receiving power from the two engines (12, 22) selectively through overrunning clutches (74,84), and a plurality of accessory devices (36, 38, 40) receiving shaft power from either of the two engines (12, 22) through the gearbox (34). The gear box (34) includes a third clutch (64) operably interposed between the clutches (74, 84) which selectively delivers shaft power from the engine (22) to the engine (12) to affect the start thereof.
