Title: Methods and formulations for enhancing the dissolution of a solid material in liquid
Inventor: POULOSE AYROOKARAN J
IPC: D06L4/40
Filed: 2002-05-31
Abstract: Methods and formulations for enhancing the dissolution of a solid material in an aqueous solution incorporate an effervescent system into the material.  Effervescent systems include (i) the combination of one or more enzymes and one or more substrates for said enzymes and (ii) a metal ion catalyst and a substrate for that metal ion catalyst. The combination of either (i) the enzyme and the substrate or (i) metal ion catalyst and substrate is capable of producing a gas when the material is in an aqueous solution. The effervescent system is particularly suited for incorporation into laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents, antacids, vitamins, contact lens cleaners, denture cleaners and other household products. It is believed that the gas produced by the interaction of the enzyme or metal ion catalyst and the approproate substrate enhances and facilitates dissolution of the material by increasing the surface area of the material that is in contact with the aqueous medium.

Abstract: A nondestructive evaluating method for aged deterioration in austenitic stainless steel comprises an information obtaining step for previously obtaining a relationship between an applied stress a arid the first ratio Ms/xH* between a saturation magnetization Ms and a pseudo susceptibility xH* based on reference minor hysteresis loops obtained by applying stresses .sigma., respectively, correspondingly to a result of a tensile test for the same kind of material as an evaluation target. In a measuring step, values of the first ratio Ms/xH* are obtained as measured values from measured minor hysteresis loops obtained by measuring the evaluation target.  In an evaluating step, the relationship between the applied stress 6 and the first ratio Ms/xH* is compared with the measured values, thereby evaluating aged deterioration of the evaluation target. The minor loops are obtained by stepwise changing a magnetic field amplitude Ha within a range of a magnetic field intensity lower than a saturation magnetization.
