The present invention relates to a process for depositing at least a culture of microorganisms to an elongated element, preferably a yarn, comprising the steps of: providing at least a first feeding device comprising at least a first outlet; supplying at least one elongated element to said at least first feeding device; feeding to said first outlet at least a first culture comprising at least one microorganism; dispensing said first culture from said at least first outlet; contacting at least part of said elongated element with said first culture of microorganisms, to provide at least a part of said elongated element with an amount of said first culture of microorganisms.

A method of controlling a washing machine includes spraying water into a drum through a direct water nozzle, rotating the drum at a spin-dry rinse speed, draining water from a tub while rotating the drum at the spin-dry rinse speed, supplying water to the tub to increase a water level in the tub, circulating water in the tub to spray circulated water into the drum through a circulation nozzle, rotating the drum at a laundry adherence speed lower than the spin-dry rinse speed, and in a state in which draining water from the tub and spraying the circulated water are stopped and at least a portion of the drum is disposed below the water level in the tub, accelerating the drum from the laundry adherence speed to a first tub cleaning speed.

A dyeing machine with symmetrical double spiral fabric tanks includes a barrel body with a fabric inlet, two spiral fabric tanks arranged side by side with each other in the barrel body and installed on both sides of the fabric inlet respectively, and each spiral fabric tank having a fabric guiding tube, a spiral fabric sliding plate and a receiving tank. The two fabric guiding tubes are disposed proximate to adjacent sides and facing to the front side and arranged symmetrically with respect to the left and right sides. The two spiral fabric sliding plates are coupled to the rear end of the two fabric guiding tubes and configured to be spirally from top to bottom, so that cloths can be dipped and dyed in the two spiral fabric tanks.

A system and method for depositing a coating may comprise a coating chemical reactor, surface activation component, and a deposition component. A target surface may be prepared for deposition with the surface activation component. The coating chemical reactor may comprise a coating chemical dispenser and a coating chemical verifier that prepares the coating chemical for deposition. The coating chemical verifier may utilize an optical excitation source and at least one optical detector, wherein chemical substances are identified by unique signatures composed of binary code. The coating chemical may be received by the deposition component to depositing the coating chemical on the target surface.
