A holder for an elongated medical body suitable for insertion into a patient during a surgical procedure is provided. The holder includes a first outer member having a first inner surface, and a first outer surface, and a second outer member having a second inner surface and a second outer surface. The holder also includes a core extending between the first and second outer members, and at least one holding member placed between the inner surfaces of the first and second outer members. The holding member or holding members are compressible for holding the elongated medical body in the holder.

A car cleaning curtain for attaching to and hanging from a garage door including a curtain rod and flexible panel adapted to hang down from a garage door when the garage door is in an open position and adapted to attract and retain dust and dirt from surfaces of a vehicle when the vehicle is in contact with and is moving with respect to the car cleaning curtain.

Disclosed are cleaning compositions including at least two anionic surfactants, such as a mixture of a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) and a sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), wherein the mixture is present in the cleaning composition in a total amount combined of LAS and SLES of about 1%-2% by weight and wherein a weight ratio of LAS:SLES is about 3:1 to about 1:1 or about 6:1 to about 4:1; an ionic agent in an amount of about 0.01% to about 0.5% by weight, a nonionic surfactant in an amount of greater than about 0% to less than about 0.45% by weight, and a fragrance. Methods of preparing and using the present cleaning compositions are also disclosed.

To improve cleaning properties of a transport belt which transports a recording medium. A recording apparatus includes a transport belt (2) which supports and transports a recording medium (P), a recording head (6) through which ink is discharged onto the recording medium (P), and a cleaning portion (10) for the transport belt (2). The recording apparatus has a first cleaning mode in which the cleaning portion (10) cleans the transport belt (2) during transporting of the recording medium (P) by the transport belt (2) and a second cleaning mode in which the cleaning portion (10) cleans the transport belt (2) during a period except for transporting of the recording medium (P) by the transport belt (2).

A pad handle assembly having a head and a handle. The handle has an elongated member with a pressure block connected to one end. A pad support block is removably connected to the pressure block to selectively secure a pad around the pad support block.

A constructing-and-forging method for preparing homogenized forged pieces comprises: preparing preformed billets: cutting off a plurality of continuous casting billets, milling and smoothing surfaces of the billets to be welded, performing vacuum plasma cleaning operation to the surfaces to be welded, stacking the plurality of billets and sealing around the surfaces in a vacuum chamber by electron beam welding; forge-welding and homogenizing the preformed billets: heating the preformed billets to a certain temperature in a heating furnace and taking the heated preformed billets out of the heating furnace, forging the preformed billets by a hydraulic press, then using three-dimensional forging to disperse the welded surfaces such that composition, structure and inclusion of the interface areas are at the same level as those of the bodies of the billets. Cheap continuous casting billets are stacked and forge welded.

Fibrous structures containing solid additives, and more particularly, fibrous structures containing two or more regions that comprise different average weight % levels of solid additives and methods for making same are provided.

A lens and/or a view screen of an electronic device having at least one case can be cleaned by wiping the view screen with a cleaning component wherein the cleaning component is configured to selectively couple to the at least one case or some other substrate using a magnetic attractive force. The cleaning devices may have secondary applications such as securing fly fishing lures, activating or deactivating a device having a magnetic switch, or preventing sunglasses from sinking. They may also be manufactured without a cleaning component for use with the secondary applications.

The present invention relates to dual textured treatment cleansing articles comprising first and second outer members forming first and second sides of the article. The first and second sides are both textured, although preferably the sides have different textures to provide the user with differing degrees of cleaning in a single cleansing article. For example, in one embodiment, the first side has coefficient of friction greater than 0.50, such as from 0.50 to about 0.75 and more preferably from about 0.55 to about 0.65, and the second side has coefficient of friction less than 0.50, such as from about 0.30 to 0.50 and more preferably from about 0.35 to about 0.45

A motor-powered windshield scourer for any type of a motor-powered vehicle and or motor craft. The motorized windshield scourer may have a motor propelled appendages or a singular appendage that have replaceable scouring attachments joined to the appendages. The motor that propels the appendages can be positioned anywhere on or in the motor vehicle/craft, whether under the hood, in the cabin or elsewhere. The motor driven appendages with joined scouring attachments may be mounted on the windshield of the vehicle directly opposite of the windshield wiper blades. When turned on, the motor may move the appendages with joined attachments in a side to side and/or up and down motion across the windshield. The appendages may include an unpliable metal such as: steel, titanium, tungsten, or inconel, and the scouring attachments may include nylon scouring pads or a vinyl coated mesh attached to and covering rubber or foam.
