The present invention is directed to a biocidal water treatment composition, water treatment apparatus, and method of treating water to reduce levels of pathogens. The composition contains sources of copper, zinc, and silver metal ions within a crosslinked polymer matrix. Examples of these ion sources include copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, and silver nitrate. An example of the crosslinked polymer matrix is crosslinked chitosan, which also serves to clarify the water and release the metal ions over time. The product is easy to manufacture, and allows the use of decreased halogen sanitizer, as well as decreased copper ion, thereby decreasing the likelihood of staining. The product simultaneously provides good bactericidal and algaecidal properties, despite low levels of copper ion and low chlorine levels.

The present invention provides a pressure sensitive adhesive composition which is excellent in antistatic property of a no-electrification-prevented adherend upon peeling, and has reduced staining of an adherend and is excellent in adhesion reliance. Also disclosed is an antistatic pressure sensitive adhesive sheet or surface-protecting film prepared using the composition. Also disclosed is an antistatic pressure sensitive adhesive sheet or surface-protecting film prepared using the composition.

There is provided a liquid ejecting apparatus including: a liquid ejecting head capable of ejecting liquid; and a plurality of cap units each having a cap for individually capping a plurality of head areas of the liquid ejecting head. The plurality of cap units is constructed such that the shift position of each cap that is shifted from a retracted position toward the head area can be varied according to the distortion of the liquid ejecting head.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electrostatic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which is excellent in antistatic property of pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets upon peeling, and has reduced stainability in an adherend (subject to be protected) and is excellent in adhesion reliance, and electrification preventing pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets and a surface protecting film using the same. There is provided a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, which comprises a (meth)acryl-based polymer containing, as a monomer component, 15 to 100% by weight of a (meth)acrylic acid alkylene oxide adduct, 0 to 85% by weight of a (meth)acryl-based monomer having an alkyl group of a carbon number of 1 to 14 other than the adduct, and 0 to 85% by weight of other polymerizable monomer, and an alkali metal salt.

A gutter cover apparatus a comprising a relatively thin, elongated generally planar sheet member, preferably of metallic material, suitably sized and configured to fit over and cover the top of a conventional roof gutter. The elongated sheet member has a longitudinal front edge portion, a longitudinal rear edge portion, and a generally planar intermediate portion therebetween. The intermediate portion, in turn, is characterized by first and second upstanding longitudinal spaced ridges or protuberances, spaced from each other and extending generally parallel to each other and to the front edge portion and the rear edge portion of the sheet member, substantially the full length thereof. The first and second upstanding spaced ridges define first, second and third drainage zones each containing a pattern of staggered rows of openings, each one of which opening is in the form of downwardly depending semi-cylindrical or other arcuate-shaped spout opening below the bottom surface of the sheet member and facing forwardly thereof. The rear longitudinal edge portion of the sheet member is bent suitably to form an upstanding “spoiler” or debris blocking section downwardly terminating in a longitudinally extending distal edge defining a bearing surface for the rear portion of the sheet member. The forward longitudinal edge portion of the sheet member is raised upwardly with respect to the drainage zones on the intermediate portion of the sheet member to define a downwardly directed “drip lip” and a bearing surface for the front of the sheet member with respect to the front edge of the gutter to which operatively it may be attached.

There are provided an ink jet head unit which is capable of incorporating a large number of ink jet heads with ease and precision, and an ink jet printing apparatus incorporating the ink jet head unit. The ink jet head unit performs printing color printing by using a plurality of ink nozzle arrays each for use in printing one line, the plurality of ink nozzle arrays corresponding to a plurality of basic colors. A plurality of head groups are each formed by a plurality of ink jet heads, and have the plurality of ink nozzle arrays arranged therein such that the plurality of ink nozzle arrays are divided among the plurality of head groups. A plurality of sub-carriages have respective ones of the plurality of head groups mounted thereon. A unitizing carriage has the plurality of sub-carriages mounted thereon.

A heat activated fabric treatment composition comprises from 3 to 75 wt % of one or more fabric treatment active ingredients, from 10 to 50 wt % of water, from 5 to 40 wt % of an oil and optionally from 2 to 30 wt % of a nonionic surfactant. The composition is provided in a dispensing device which, in use, is attached to the internal panel of a tumble dryer.

The present invention relates to silent Fc variants of anti-CD40 antibodies and compositions and methods of use of said antibodies for treating pathological disorders such as autoimmune and inflammatory disorders and/or for preventing or reducing the risk of graft rejection in transplantation.

The present invention provides a method of preparing an aqueous dispersion of poly(perfluorovinyl ether) homopolymers. The present invention further relates to a method of making an aqueous fluoropolymer dispersion comprising bicomponent particles of poly(perfluorovinyl ether) homopolymers and a second fluoropolymer. The dispersions of the present invention may be used for rendering fibrous substrates oil repellent, water repellent and/or stain repellent without altering the looks and feel of the substrate.
