Abstract

An embedded temperature sensor may be attached to or otherwise associated with a textile in order to measure one or more temperatures of the textile. Temperature information received from one or more embedded temperature sensor(s) throughout the course of a dryer cycle may be analyzed to determine dryness of one or more textiles in a dryer, determine whether one or more textiles in the dryer are overdry, generate an indication of the dryness of the one or more textiles in the dryer, and/or to control one or more dryer cycles of the dryer, such as by automatically turning-off the dryer when one or more of the textiles in the dryer are determined to be dry. The embedded temperature sensor may further be used to validate a cleaning process in a cleaning machine.

Treatment compositions for the treatment of flowable solid polymer bodies and surfaces that come into contact with them comprise a first nonionic surfactant and a second nonionic surfactant. The first nonionic surfactant comprises a plurality of ethylene oxide groups and a plurality of butylene oxide groups. The second nonionic surfactant is different from the first nonionic surfactant and comprises a plurality of ethylene oxide groups. Treatment of flowable solid polymer bodies with the treatment composition may reduce the adhesion of the flowable solid polymer bodies to one another, and treatment of containment surfaces may reduce adhesion of flowable solid polymer bodies thereto. In the manufacture of flowable solid polymer bodies, the treatment composition may be added to the cooling water of a polymer extrusion process to inhibit fouling of surfaces contacted by the cooling water by the bodies. The treatment compositions do not exhibit undue foaming.

Abstract

Systems and techniques for reprocessing a medical device equipped with an electromagnetic tag can include opening an access door of a reprocessing machine and passing the medical device through an entry-opening towards an inside of a washing chamber of the reprocessing machine. The systems and techniques can also involve energizing an electromagnetic tag carried by the medical device with an energizing power source of the reprocessing machine. As the medical device is passing through the entry-opening (EO) towards the inside of the washing chamber and in response to the energizing, the system can receive an identification electromagnetic signal transferred by the energized electromagnetic tag with a receiver the reprocessing machine. Information associated with the identification electromagnetic signal can be used to select and/or control washing parameters of the reprocessing machine.
