A temperature detecting material comprises a first material containing a first temperature indicating material and a second material containing a second temperature indicating material, wherein the first temperature indicating material and the second temperature indicating material contain a leuco dye, a color developing agent, and a decoloring agent, and have a hysteresis characteristic in their color density-temperature curves, wherein the first temperature indicating material has a color developing temperature in a temperature increase process lower than a decoloring temperature in the temperature increase process, and turns to a non-crystalline state and is kept in a decoloring state when cooled down below the color developing temperature in the temperature increase process with a predetermined cooling speed or more after melting, wherein the second temperature indicating material, a color developing temperature is lower than a decoloring temperature in the temperature increase process, and wherein the color developing temperature in the temperature increase process is lower than the decoloring temperature in the temperature increase process and the color developing temperature is lower than the color developing temperature in the temperature increase process.

Methods are provided for adjusting any correlation between a visual display perspective and a default display view of an aircraft. The method comprises determining the default display view for an inflight aircraft and determining the orientation of the visual display for the crew of the aircraft. The default display view is compared with the orientation of the visual display to determine if the visual display's perspective needs to be transitioned to reflect the default display view. If the display does need to be changed, the rate of transition of the visual display's perspective is selected based on current aircraft performance parameters.

A leuco compound comprises an antioxidant moiety covalently bonded to a leuco moiety. A laundry care composition comprises (a) at least one laundry care ingredient and (b) a leuco compound as described above.

Fabrics containing camouflage patterns are produced from dyes wherein at least certain of the colors contained in the pattern contain a low reflectance dye. The low reflectance dye is added to one or more colors in the pattern in order to preserve the camouflage pattern when viewed through night vision goggles as relatively long wavelengths, such at wavelengths greater than 900 nm. In one embodiment, the low reflectance dye comprises a thiazine. The low reflectance dye is blended with other dyes to produce colors in the pattern. By altering the concentration of the low reflectance dye in each of the colors, the colors contained in the camouflage pattern remain separate and distinct even at relatively long wavelengths.

A temperature sensor, and methods of making and using such a temperature sensor, whereby the temperature sensor includes a reversible thermochromic color-changing system having a dye, a developer, and a solvent. Upon exposure to a preselected temperature threshold, association or disassociation of the dye and the developer results in a visible color change. Further, the color-changing system includes a color-memory property which facilitates retention of the color change to effectively record exposure to the temperature threshold.
