Inventor: HALSRUD DAVID A
IPC: C11D3/39
Filed: 2001-04-24
Abstract: A method for antimicrobial treatment comprising applying to microbes a composition containing a diluting solvent (e.g., water), an antimicrobially- active solvent having a density different from the density of the diluting solvent, and an optional cosolvent, surfactant, or additional antimicrobial agent, wherein the amount of antimicrobially-active solvent or additional antimicrobial agent is sufficiently high and the amount of cosolvent or surfactant is sufficiently low so that the composition will provide greater than a 1-log order reduction in the population of bacteria or spores of Bacillus cereus within 10 seconds at 60 ~C. Preferred methods of the inventi on employ compositions containing an additional antimicrobial agent such as peroxyacetic acid. Compositions for use in the method can be prepared as concentrates, and used full strength or in diluted form.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-05-31
Abstract: A method for measuring traffic at nodes in a network is disclosed. Probe packets are sent to a node at (at least) two different times. The packets are given a TTL value that expires at the node to be tested, which will make the node send back a packet to the source node.
