US 5407598 A Abstract Aqueous bleach solutions can be made by directing a spray of water onto a bulk or shaped solid (brick, tablet, block, etc.) comprising a continuous solid phase of an encapsulated source of an active halogen bleach or a solid comprising a source of an oxidizing active halogen bleach and an encapsulated oxidizing halogen bleach source. Such shaped solids can be used to dispense uniform quantities of an aqueous bleach concentrate to bleaching locus such as a washing machine. The tablets can be made from the encapsulated bleach or from a powder mixture of a particulate, granulated or powdered unencapsulated source of active oxidizing bleach and an encapsulated source of active oxidizing bleach by forming the powder mixture into a desired shape. The presence of the encapsulate in the solid with the powder reduces the tendency of the solid to absorb water which can be wicked through the solid to pass water through the solid into adjacent solids. Substantial proportions of absorbed water can cause the tablets to crack, crumble and to periodically dispense uneven, substantially large and undesirable concentrations of active bleach into a wash or bleach cycle.

Description The invention relates to shaped solid sources of an active bleach that can be used in bleaching or cleaning processes. Active bleach is a common component of many washing or sanitizing processes including washing of kitchenware, tableware, flatware, cookware, etc., laundry, health care appliances, food manufacturing equipment, pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment, etc. A variety of active bleaching compositions are known including active halogen bleaches. Active halogen compositions have been used for many years in a variety of cleaning or sanitizing methods. Such halogen sources can come in the form of gases (gaseous Cl2, Br2, etc.), liquids (aqueous sodium hypochlorite), or solids, calcium hypochlorite, chlorinated sodium tripolyphosphate, chlorinated isocyanuric acid and others. Solids can be dissolved in water to create a bleach concentrate. Such materials can be applied to processing by metering a gas or liquid form of the halogen source into the wash site into an aqueous stream directed to the wash site. Solid halogen sources can be used in a variety of washing processes by adding solids directly to the washing liquor or by metering an aqueous solution of the chlorine source into the wash locus. Solid sources of halogen bleaches have been used in both aqueous solutions, particulate powders or in solid tablet or brick form. The solid tablet or brick form of the solid active bleach source can pose a problem in control of dispensing. Tablets or bricks of the material are introduced into aqueous dispensers. The dispensers can be calibrated to provide various bleach concentrations, often to provide 1 to 10 grams of halogen per bleach cycle. Within the dispenser the tablet or tablets are fixed mechanically at a fixed distance from an aqueous spray. As the aqueous spray contacts the surface of the solid bleach material the water dissolves a portion of the bleach source creating a liquid concentrate solid which is directed to a wash/bleach cycle. However, water can be absorbed by the tablet and can soak through the entire tablet or brick. The water can pass through this brick and can pass further into adjacent tablets or bricks. The absorbed water can cause the tablet(s) or brick(s) to become cracked, split, crumbled or become "slushy". Such water soaked tablets often become difficult to dispense with adequate control of bleach concentrate in the wash liquor. Parts of the tablet can randomly be released by a disintegrating tablet causing random dispensing of undesirable, harmful, substantially large concentrations of halogen into the washing site. In the instance that the slushy or cracked tablet releases a substantial proportion of its mass into the dispenser, the dispenser can release 100-300 grams or more of chlorine source into the washing locus. Such high concentrations of chlorine can cause metal corrosion to washer or dispenser, fabric damage, color change or other harmful results. The encapsulation of active sources of halogen bleach with organic and inorganic coatings have been disclosed in Brubaker, U.S. Pat. No. 4,279,764; Brennen, U.S. Pat. No. 3,637,509; Idudson, U.S. Pat. No. 3,650,961; Alterman, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,983,254 and 3,908,045. Olson, U.S. Pat. No. 4,681,914, teaches the use of encapsulated sources of active halogen in cast solid warewashing detergents. In Olson, the encapsulated halogen source is dispersed in a molten caustic material that solidifies to form a sodium hydroxide based warewashing material. Accordingly, a substantial need exists in processes using aqueous sources of halogen to provide a solid halogen source that can dispense a uniform proportion of the solid mass of the halogen source without uncontrolled dispensing problems. We have found that control over dispensing solid bleach tablets can be obtained by manufacturing a tablet from a source of oxidant halogen bleach including an encapsulated source of oxidant halogen bleach. Alternatively, the tablet or solid can comprise both an unencapsulated powder or granular bleach source and the encapsulated source. The resulting tablets comprise a continuous solid phase comprising an unencapsulated source of oxidant bleach with the encapsulated source of bleach dispersed in the continuous phase. When used together the unencapsulated bleach can be used at a concentration of 20-90 wt % of the tablet and the encapsulated source of chlorine can be used in the tablet at a concentration of about 10 to 80 wt % based on the tablet. We have found that the encapsulated chlorine source aids in tablet formation and substantially reduces the harmful effects of water spray on the solid material. The tablets of the invention can be placed in the dispenser wherein the tablets are contacted with a water spray that creates an aqueous bleach concentrate. The water spray dissolves controlled amounts of the tablet to introduce into the wash liquor a consistent well controlled concentration of a halogen such as chlorine. For the purpose of this invention the term "brick", "tablet" or "block" connotes a mass of material greater than about 1 gram having a size and shape adapted for introduction into a dispenser to be contacted with a dissolving/dispensing water spray. The water spray, dissolving a controlled portion of the tablet forms an aqueous bleach concentrate that can be directed to a use locus such as a washing machine. The term solid source of oxidant bleach or active halogen bleach relates to a powder, granular, or other pourable solid material that can release active bleach under washing conditions. Aqueous bleach concentrates made using the tablets of the invention can contain up to about 10,000 parts per million of active oxidant bleach per million parts of aqueous solution. Such concentrate can be directed into a wash liquor in a wash machine and can be used at a concentration of a preferred source of active chlorine in contact with a soiled article in amounts of about 5 to 500 parts of active chlorine per million parts of wash liquor. The tablets of the invention are preferably made by blending a powdered source of chlorine with an encapsulate source of chlorine in a particulate form. The blended powder is then preferably compressed into tablets using available technology. In our experimentation leading to the invention a number of materials were used to bind powdered or granular sodium dichloroisocyanurate into useful tablets. Additives such as Carbowax, fatty acids, inorganic materials, etc. were used as binders in common compression molded tableting operations. Overall, we have found that inorganic materials aid in tableting but failed to reduce the tendency of the chlorine source to absorb water leading to crumbling and uneven dispensing. We have found that some organic materials form adequate tablets with useful dispensing properties but are unstable in the presence of the highly active chlorine source. At high temperatures the material can discolor or smolder at concentrations useful in tableting. Further, we have found other additive materials that form useful tablets but introduce substantial hydrophobicity into the tablets leading to a failure to dispense adequate proportions of oxidizing bleach. We have found that the encapsulated oxidizing bleach source provides a number of advantages. First, the encapsulated bleach source acts as a binder material permitting the formation of mechanically stable shaped solids of halogen releasing material. Further, the coating of the encapsulated oxidizing bleach provides control over the hydrophobicity of the tablet leading to the dispensing of controlled amounts of the active bleach. The encapsulated chlorine source, while acting as a binder and dispensing control agent, does not substantially dilute the concentration of chlorine in the tablet. Lastly, the presence of the encapsulated source provides a stable tablet which can dispense a controlled even proportion of the solid material into the aqueous concentrate which is then directed to a cleaning locus for cleaning action on a variety of articles. The bleach source can be used to clean dishware, tableware, kitchenware, laundry, sheets, towels, food production equipment, pharmaceutical production equipment and any other related surface that requires bleaching, sanitizing or other action of oxidizing bleaches. FIG. 1 is an illustration of a water spray type dispenser enclosing a container with three of the preferred halogen containing circular tablets of the invention. FIG. 2 is a graphical representation of a controlled dispensing of chlorine at a consistent amount of about 5 grams of chlorine per dispensing cycle using the tablets of the invention. FIG. 3 is a graphical representation of an uncontrolled dispensing of prior art tablets not made in accordance with the invention resulting in spikes of uncontrolled chlorine dispensing substantially greater than 5 grams per cycle. The bricks, tablets or blocks of the invention can comprise a source of active oxidant bleach such as active halogen or active oxygen and an encapsulated source of active halogen oxidant bleach. The source of active halogen used in the continuous phase of the solid tablet of the invention and used in the core of the encapsulated source of halogen can comprise a halogen releasing substance suitable to liberate active halogen species such as free elemental halogen (Cl, Br, Cl2, Br2) or --OCl- or --OBr-, under conditions normally used in detergent bleaching cleaning processes of a variety of cleaning targets. Preferably the halogen releasing compound releases chlorine or bromine species. The most preferred halogen species is chlorine. Chlorine releasing compounds include potassium dichloroisocyanurate, sodium dichloroisocyanurate, chlorinated trisodium phosphate, calcium hypochlorite, lithium hypochlorite, monochloramine, dichloramine, [(monotrichloro)-tetra(monopotassium dichloro)]pentaisocyanurate, 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylidantonone, paratoluene sulfodichloro-amide, trichloromelamine, N-chloramine, N-chlorosuccinimide, N,N'-dichloroazodicarbonamide, N-chloroacetyl-urea, N,N-dichlorbiurile, chlorinated dicyandiamide, trichlorocyanuric acid, dichloroglycourea, etc. Chlorinated isocyanurate materials including dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate, sodium dichloroisocyanurate, potassium dichloroisocyanurate, etc. are preferred chlorine sources suitable for the continuous solid phase and for the core substance of the encapsulated material. Chlorinated isocyanurates are commercially available from Monsanto or Olin and other vendors. We have found that combining a solid bleach source with an encapsulated bleach source in a brick, block or tablet provides substantially controllable dispensing properties in the solid when contacted with water and provides binder properties. Encapsulated chlorine sources of the invention comprise a chlorine source core and at least one encapsulating layer. The encapsulating layer can comprise an inorganic material or an organic material. Further, the core chlorine source can be covered with two, three or more useful layers. Preferably we have found a two layer coating scheme wherein the core is coated with a inner inorganic layer and an outer organic layer comprising a material (detergent, sequestrant, builder, antiredeposition agent, etc.) useful in washing liquors. For the purposes of this application the term "encapsulating agent", as used herein encompasses solid soluble inorganic compounds used as inert fillers in detergent compositions and soluble inorganic builders used in detergent compositions which contribute to the detergency of the composition and which do not substantially react with a halogen bleach. The external organic phase of the encapsulate can comprise a variety of encapsulating materials that can be selected from small molecule, monomeric or polymeric sources. Small molecule organic compositions that can be used for the external encapsulate layer comprise a large variety of water soluble organic compounds. A preferred class of small molecule organic encapsulate materials comprise synthetic surfactant compounds. The synthetic surfactant coating must remain sufficiently solid at storage or use temperatures encountered by the encapsulate during storage of the product, for example, temperatures of about 15� to 50� C. and also remain stable at temperatures likely to be encountered during processing of the product. Synthetic surfactants useful in making the encapsulates of the invention include anionic, cationic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactant compositions. Examples of anionic surfactants useful in the encapsulate compositions of the invention are the higher alkyl mononuclear aromatic alkali metal sulfonates such as alkyl benzene sulfonate, xylene sulfonate, alpha olefin sulfonates, primary and secondary alkyl sulfates and others. Alkali metal salts of fatty acids commonly classified as soaps can be used in the definition of an ionic detergent. Examples of such operable soaps include sodium and potassium salts of acyclic monocarboxylic acids having 8 to 12 carbon atoms. A particularly suitable synthetic surfactant for use in a coating composition is sodium alkyl sulfonate having from about 6 to 12 carbon atoms, preferably sodium octyl sulfonate. Typical nonionic surfactants are commonly materials that contain polymer ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or heteric or block copolymers thereof. Such materials can be made as the condensation products of alkyl phenols having 5-15 carbon atoms any alkyl group, the condensation product with a long chain fatty alcohol or acid, etc. These nonionic surfactants are well known in the art and are available to the skilled artisan. Cationic and amphoteric surfactants are known but are not preferred for these applications. Suitable builders that can be used in the compositions of the invention include weakly acid neutral or alkaline reacting inorganic or organic compounds especially inorganic or organic complex forming substances such as the bicarbonates, carbonates, borates, and silicates of alkali metal or alkali earth metal salts. The alkali metal ortho, meta, pyro and tripolyphosphates are a useful filler/sequestrant material. Another class of suitable builders are the insoluble sodium alumina silicates. Generally, the shaped solid sources of active bleaching agent of the invention can also contain other elements which impart varying degrees of physical or chemical characteristics. Constituents such as optical binders, deodorizers, antiredeposition agents, dyes, perfumes, dispersing agents, etc. can be added to the shaped solids for known properties. Inorganic materials suitable for the coating of the encapsulate of the invention include alkali such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium sesquicarbonate, sodium borate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium sesquicarbonate, potassium borate, phosphates such as diammonium phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, monohydrate, tricalcium phosphate, calcium pyrophosphate, iron pyrophosphate, magnesium phosphate, monopotassium orthophosphate , potassium pyrophosphate, disodium orthophosphate dihydrate, trisodium orthophosphate decahydrate, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate, a sodium polyphosphate compound, sodium hexametaphosphate, potassium tripolyphosphate, a potassium polyphosphate compound, neutral or soluble salts such as sodium sulfate, sodium chloride silicates, inorganic sequestering agents and antiredeposition agents and hydrates thereof. Suitable builder compounds that can be used in the coatings of the encapsulate include tetrasodium or tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, pentasodium or pentapotassium tripolyphosphate, sodium or potassium silicates, hydrated or anhydrous borax, sodium or potassium sesquicarbonate, phytates, polyphosphonates and others. The manufacture of the encapsulated source of oxidizing bleach can be carried out by first providing an initial inorganic protective passivation coating of the core material which can be conveniently applied using fluidized coating apparatus. In making encapsulated materials, the particulates are introduced into the fluidizing chamber of a fluidized bed. The bed of particles to be coated is then suspended with the fluidizing atmosphere. A nozzle is typically introduced into or nearby the fluidized bed through which liquid droplets of coating material are discharged in a diverging pattern coextensive with the upper surface of the bed. Coating solution is applied to the bed at a temperature required for rapid drying of the coating solution on the core particles. Solvent vapors can be removed from the fluidized bed with a blower. Once the particles are fully covered with an initial coating, subsequent coatings can be formed in a similar fashion using known technology. The encapsulated oxidizer of the present invention can contain 20 to 90 wt % of the active oxidizing bleach core and 10 to 80 wt % of a coating. In the instance that dual coating are used, the encapsulated material can comprise about 20 to 90 wt % of an oxidizing bleach core, about 0.5 to 50 wt % of a first passivating inorganic coating agent and about 5 to 70 wt % of a second synthetic surfactant second coating. More particularly, the single coated oxidizing bleach comprises 30 to 80 wt % of bleach core and about 20 to 70 wt % synthetic surfactant coating, most particularly about 40 to 55 wt % of oxidizing bleach core and 45 to 60 wt % of the first coating. A most preferred embodiment of the double coated oxidizing bleach encapsulate comprises about 30 to 80 wt % of the bleach core, about 5 to 50 wt % of a first inorganic coating agent and about 5 to 50 wt % of a second synthetic surfactant coating. Other materials may be present in the coating layer such as conventional additives used in bleaching or cleaning laundry, dishware, etc. Typical examples include well known soil suspending agents, corrosion inhibitors, dyes, perfumes, fillers, optical brighteners, enzymes, germicides, antitarnishing agents, and the like. The shaped solids of the invention can be made using a variety of known shaping technologies. The shaped solids can be made by compression processes, the use of molten binding agents, and others well known to the skilled artisan. The process for manufacturing the shaped solid compositions of the present invention generally comprises two steps. First, the constituent powders used in the shaped solids are introduced into a mixing apparatus to form a homogeneous powder blend. Commonly available mixing apparatus such as ribbon blenders can be used. The homogeneous powder blend is then placed in a commonly available press which can compress the powders into a shaped tablet, brick or block. Generally the preblended powder or granulate is placed in a hopper with feeder systems and metered into a tabletizer. The tablet size can vary from about 1 gram to 100 grams and greater. Preferably, the tablet comprises from 500-2000 grams and can take any convenient shape. One shape readily made by most compression tabletizers is a disc or cylinder. The cylinder diameter can range from approximately 1/4 inch to 5 inches or greater having a thickness of about 1/4 to about 5 inches, preferably about 0.5 inch to 3 inches. FIG. 1 is a cross section of a portion of the dispenser used for introducing the active halogen bleach concentrate made using the shaped solids of the invention. In FIG. 1 the dispenser housing 10, a portion of an overall housing for a dispenser that can be adapted for dispensing one, two or more encapsulated solid materials can be configured for dispensing the shaped solids of the invention. An example of the dispenser shown in the Figure is the Solid System III� dispenser. Such a dispenser is used in laundry dispensing. In FIG. 1 a spray nozzle 11 is shown with a cone-shaped spray 12 directed from the nozzle 11 onto the surface of the shaped solids 16 contained within a plastic capsule 17 which is then attached to the dispenser with a threaded connector 20 and shoulders 21 that cooperate with the housing of the nozzle 22. In the operation of the dispenser, fresh water is introduced into the dispenser through conduit 13, the water is sprayed through the nozzle 11 onto the shaped solid 16 creating a concentrate. The concentrate then passes down through the opening of the capsule 20 through the screen 19 to the outlet 15. Any large portions of the shaped solid that is released can be trapped by the screen 19. FIG. 2 is a graphical representation showing that dispensing the shaped solids of the invention can achieve a controllable dispensing rate that can range from about 10 to about 20 grams of the shaped solid per spray cycle. No undesirable peaks of large amounts of chlorine bleach is shown dispensed in the Figure. In sharp contrast, FIG. 3 shows the uncontrolled dispensing of large spikes of high concentrations of chlorine bleach using the prior art compressed tablet comprising chlorinated isocyanurate in the absence of the encapsulate. The Figure shows small spikes of up to 30 grams of chlorine bleach per spray cycle but also shows significant spikes of chlorine bleach reaching levels of about 130 grams per spray cycle. Such peaks or spikes of chlorine bleach can do serious harm to laundry equipment and laundry load. A number of examples of the shaped solids that can be used to dispense active halogen concentrates were made. The solids were tested to show that they could dispense controlled even amounts of bleaching concentrate without dispensing harmful excessive amounts of oxidizing bleach. Our experiments were done using commonly available sources of chlorine bleach, however we believe the invention can work with a variety of powdered sources of halogen bleach. We believe that there is a useful interaction between the powdered bleach material and the encapsulate which produces a stable tablet, controlled dispensing, and sufficient hydrophobicity to prevent the dispensing water from destroying the tablet during dispensing. The following examples contain a best mode. A series of shaped solids in the form of a cylinder having a 4 inch diameter and an approximately 1 inch height were made containing about 600 total grams of material. The tablets contained varying proportion of additive materials. The ingredients used to make the tablet were added to a mechanical blender and shaken until uniform. The material was then introduced into a hand tablet compression device. The powder was compressed into a tablet at a pressure of about 11,000 pounds of pressure for a press time of about 30 seconds. The shaped solids produced are shown below in Table I. TABLE I______________________________________ 600-Gram, Additives 4-Inch Solid Concentration Number ofExample Table Quantity (%) Additives______________________________________1 3 1 2 (Organic Binder)2 3 2 1 (Organic Binder)3 3 3 2 (Organic Binder)4 3 1 1 (Organic Binder) 1A 3 1 2 (Organic Binder)5 3 2 2 (Organic Binder)6 3 1 1 (Lauric Acid)7 3 2 1 (Lauric Acid)8 3 100 1 (Cl2 -Encapsulate)9 3 10 1 (Lauric Acid)10 3 10 1 (Carbowax �)11 3 30 1 (Cl2 -Encapsulate)12 3 25 1 (Cl2 -Encapsulate)13 3 20 1 (Cl2 -Encapsulate)14 3 15 1 (Cl2 -Encapsulate)15 Capsule filled with calcium hypochlorite mini-tablets (Pittabs)______________________________________ The active halogen source used was a sodium salt dihydrate of chlorinated isocyanuric acid (CDB-56). The 600 gram, 4 inch solid tablets with various binders and other ingredients were then tested in an automatic dispensing system. Three tablets of each kind were stacked in a plastic disposable bottle or capsule. The capsule containing the tablets was inverted on a load cell which continuously monitored its weight. Water was sprayed upward into the pellet onto the tablet contents at a duty cycle of 15 seconds spray on; 15 minutes spray off for a continuing cycle. Eight pounds per square inch water pressure was used with 125� F. water. Examples 1-5 made using 1-3 wt % of a variety of organic and inorganic binder additives suffer severely from slushing problems leading to uncontrolled dispensing. An example of uncontrolled dispensing is shown in FIG. 3 which is a graphical representation of the dispensing experiment performed on the tablet of Example 3. During dispensing at the 100-105 cycle, at the 200-225 cycle, at the 300- 310 cycle and about at the 380 cycle, large uncontrolled excursions of chlorine concentration were dispensed substantially greater than 20 grams per dispensing cycle. The maximum amount of chlorine source dispensed in this test was 134.17 grams of the chlorine source late in the test. The phenomenon of "slushing" is indicated by the unusually large spikes or peaks of uncontrolled chlorine dispensing usually preceded by cycles of extremely small amounts dispensed. In other words, we believe the shaped solids soak water from the spray nozzle, gradually losing its mechanical integrity leading to initial cracks and finally to crumbling which leads to the release of substantial proportions of the mass into the dispenser stream. The phenomenon of "slushing" was also monitored visually as a slow expansion of the tablet height and the development of fissures and cracks. Time video tapes of the tablets during dispensing were also made. These visual observations were used together with the dispensing figures in judging how well the different tablets were being dispensed. The tablets 6 and 7 made using 1-2 wt % lauric acid also suffered severe slushing problems. The tablet shown in Example 10 using 10% of a polyethylene glycol (Carbowax 8000) binder system exhibited excellent dispensing profile, however on thermostability testing, the Carbowax containing materials decolorized and showed substantial thermal instability between the chlorine source and Carbowax. The Examples 11-14 with 15, 20, 25 and 30 wt % of an encapsulated chlorine source, respectively, exhibited excellent dispensing profiles and thermostability. Example 8 made entirely of encapsulated chlorine source displayed excellent dispensing properties. However, the use of all encapsulate is expensive and not commercially attractive. Example 15 using calcium hypochlorite showed excellent dispensing properties but suffered from the drawback that the use of this chlorine source can introduce substantial proportions of hardness (calcium salts) into the washing liquor. 10 gram samples of the formulas shown in Table II were made using a hand driven lab press at 6000 pounds of pressure with a press time of 30 seconds. We conducted a wicking test performed by placing tablets in 5 grams of dyed water (Sudan IV dye) in a watch glass and noted tablet condition at various time intervals. The tablets were monitored for 10 minutes and the tablet appearance was noted. In particular, we looked for swelling, cracking and disintegration, chemical bubbling and exotherm.

However, the tablet did not crumble indicating the tablet could withstand distress of dispensing. Tablets 3 and 5 after immersion generated small cracks but were intact after 10 minutes showing that they are adequate for controlled dispensing. Tablets 7 and 9 containing 5-10 wt % of methyl ether of polyethylene glycol casting agent cracked and showed evidence of thermal instability. Tablets 11 and 13 containing anhydrous sodium metasilicate and binder bubbled and exothermed showing the unsuitability of metasilicate as a binder. Tablet 15 containing sodium tripolyphosphate (light density) was very hydrophilic, absorbed substantial quantities of water and crumbled completely indicating its unsuitability for accurate controlled dispensing. Tablet 29 containing sodium zeolite similarly disintegrated completely. Tablet 37 containing 10 wt % of a polyacrylic acid composition failed to form an adequate solid tablet upon compression. Tablet 39 containing 10 wt % of britesil silicate absorbed water, cracked and swelled causing some degree of disintegration indicating its unsuitability for controlled dispensing. Tablet 41 containing linear alkyl sulfonate cracked and retained substantial quantities of water on dispensing. Tablet 66 containing 2.5 wt % DRAKEOIL did not absorb water initially but did absorb some small part of water, but was hydrophobic and failed to dispense adequate amounts of halogen source. Tablet 69 cracked and retained water indicating its general unsuitability for dispensing controlled amounts of chlorine. From this data and other experiments we have conducted with the shaped solids containing the encapsulate source of halogen used in this invention shows that the use of the encapsulated halogen source provides two important qualities to the shaped solids of the invention. First, the halogen source acts as a binder material that permits the manufacture of the shaped solids in an efficient manner resulting in a mechanically stable, useful solid. Further, the encapsulated chlorine source permits the controlled dispensing of halogen bleach into a bleaching/cleaning locus. We have found that a number of the other binders, active cleaning agents, surfactants, etc. can be used in making the tablets of the invention, however, only the encapsulated chlorine source provides all of the characteristics required for a mechanically stable tablet, ease of manufacture, controlled dispensing of chlorine and high active bleaching without chemical incompatibility. The above specification, examples and data provide for a basic understanding of the invention. However, since many embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended. Patent Citations

Lufthansa is the only airline flying A380s and passenger 747-8s. The 747-8 is Boeing's largest ever airliner, but when parked next to Airbus' giant A380, it really is dwarfed by the double-decker.
Lufthansa operates six 747-8s and ten A380'. The picture below shows two A380s parked next to a rather inconspicuous747-8.

This review is from: Antec HCP-1300 Platinum 1300W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Intel Haswell Fully Compatible
Pros: Extreme power. I currently only need ~700 W, but am in the process of adding more to the system, such as quad SLI, a 2nd optical drive, more storage for an array, and a few more fans or perhaps liquid cooling. This is going to let me do that. In my system, it's actually pretty quite running as well. My system is a bit on the loud side due to the all the fans in it currently, but this is not even close to being that loud.
Cons: Died after 6 months. Granted, my machine ran almost constantly without sleeping since I purchased it. The only time I would turn off my computer is a few nights here and there 1 night at a time. So far, the MTBF for me is ~3900 hours. That's horrible for a PSU. Not sure if I will continue to buy Antec. I guess I'll see in a few months when my wife's HCP-1000 Platinum reaches power on time of 4000 hours.
Other Thoughts: Antec's support hours suck. 9 am-4:30 pm Pacific. This sucks for anyone that works for a living in the same time zone.
READ FULL REVIEWThis review is from: Rosewill Throne Black ATX Full Tower Gaming Computer Case, support E-ATX/XL-ATX, support up to 8 Fans
Pros: HUGE case. Will fit just about anything you want to throw into this thing. I love the hard drive dock on the top as I'm the goto computer guy for my family.
Cons: HUGE case, I mean, HUGE. I like the black, but not the red LEDs. I'd prefer blue, but the case is white for the blue LEDs. Too bad you can't get black case and blue LEDs.
I have cats, so the intake fans suck in EVERYTHING, and I mean everything. I purchased one of those central heating/cooling systems for the home and cut out the filter part and put it between the case and the fans. Luckily there's enough space between the mounts that it doesn't come in contact with the fan blades or hub.
Other Thoughts: Get actual fan filters if possible.

Pros: Everything.
Large monitor, and I prefer 16:10 vs 16:9 as I'm used to 1600x1200, and with this I can do 1920x1200.
There is nothing about this monitor that I can complain about except that I wish I had 2 more for my desk. :)
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: I'll be getting another one shortly.

Posted on 09/12/2009 9:22:08 PM PDT by Ooh-Ah
At a packed town meeting of over 1,000 people hosted by Democrat Sen. Mark Warner in Fredericksburg, Virginia, a woman prefaced her question by expressing a broader concern: For the first time I dont believe the President we have is a patriot. I think a lot of the concern and discontent is less about health care than trusting the agenda of this administration. Sen. Warner harshly rebuked her, calling the remark offensive and declaring Obama a great patriot. Yet judging by the storm of applause that greeted her comment, she echoed the feelings of many others in the hall.
What did patriotism mean to the questioner and that wildly applauding audience? Presumably pride in America, its values and institutions, its freedoms, the opportunities it offers the individual, its efforts to act in accordance with those values both domestically and internationally. And what made many in that audience uneasy including some who must have voted for him was the growing sense that their President did not look upon the country the way they did, did not look upon his task to preserve what they believed best about America, but sought to transform these United States according to values deeply alien to theirs.
They were worried by manifold signs of this, small and large, some only assuming their significance in hindsight like that pre-inauguration statement: We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. There was that surprising deep bow to the Saudi king who represents values as antithetical as imaginable to those of this country. There were the overseas trips with serial apologies for past American behavior to leaders devoid of moral credentials. There was the reaching out to Venezuelas abhorrent President Chávez. There was the fulsome praise of Islam and its supposed achievements (much of it baseless) in Egypt, the harsh treatment of democratic allies like Israel and Honduras, the indifference to the vicious suppression of Iranians protesting the theft of their election by Ahmadinejad.
Domestically, there was the huge pile-up of debt via the stimulus and de facto nationalizations of much of the housing and automobile industry. Why was Congress pressed to pass literally overnight bills few if any had read? Even more puzzling, why, in a time of economic crisis, did Obama insist on taking over health care? Why the eagerness to ram through a 1,000 page bill prior to the August recess with the potential to turn one seventh of the economy over to the government and, as the Congressional Budget Office has attested, add trillions in debt without the normal process of hearings and debate? After all, as Thomas Sowell has noted, the provisions are not designed to go into effect until 2013! Why, with unemployment high and rising, seek to enact a gigantic new tax in the shape of a cap and trade bill that all serious studies showed would result in the loss of huge numbers of jobs?
And then there were the czars Phyllis Schlafly counted 34 of them paid for by the taxpayer but not subject to Senate confirmation, accountable to no one but the President. Where did they fit in? Were they a species of Commiczars setting policy that the established cabinet members and government bureaucracies would be expected to implement? Even veteran Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd called them a power grab by the executive that violates the constitutional separation of powers. And what a strange lot some of them were. So far out that he had to be thrown overboard was self-styled revolutionary communist green Commiczar Van Jones who initially recognized how insane it was for Obama to make him part of his administration. I burst out laughing because at the time it seemed completely ludicrous that it would even be an option, he told a reporter in March. (That did not prevent him from portraying himself in his resignation letter six months later as an innocent victim of a vicious smear campaign by opponents of health reform.)
To understand Obama and the administration he heads, we have to go back 33 years to the birth of the Carter administration. The ideas and attitudes that animate the current administration go back at least two additional decades, but the significant entry into government positions of acolytes of these notions began with Carter. In 1980, with my husband Erich Isaac, I wrote The Coercive Utopians (published by Regnery). We described the underlying ideas of these utopians, the varying groups from which they sprang (ranging from mainline churches to so-called Naderite public interest groups to environmental groups to select think tanks, notably the Institute for Policy Studies and its spinoffs) and the success they had in obtaining financial backing (initially from a variety of foundations) and, in the Carter years, from government. We said they were utopians because they believed they could create an ideal social order (present evils were the result of a corrupt social system) and coercive because in their zeal for attaining that ideal order they sought to impose their blueprints in ways that went beyond legitimate persuasion.
With their ideological taproot in the New Left of the 1960s, the utopians harbored a bleak view of American domestic institutions and Americas role in the world. They abhorred the American economic system churchmen because the system fostered competition rather than cooperation; environmentalists because it fostered desire for material goods, polluting the environment; consumer advocates because it produced unsafe goods in the pursuit of profit. As for its actions abroad, many viewed the U.S. as uniquely evil, the chief agent of militarism, imperialism, racism and economic exploitation, the greatest threat to world peace. President of New York Citys Union Theological Seminary John C. Bennett argued that only revolutionary change could remove the U.S. as a counterrevolutionary force from the backs of the third world countries. The utopians sought to recast American foreign policy so as to support the societies they believed represented social justice- Cuba, Nicaragua (under the Sandinistas), Vietnam, China (under Mao).
The goal, as long-time coercive utopian John Holdren (now Obamas science Commiczar) put it in 1973, was to de-develop the United States. And since the utopians understood that energy was the lifeblood of modern industrial America, their efforts were bent toward putting a tourniquet around centralized energy development. According to utopian Amory Lovins (still going strong although not yet in the Obama administration) our energy system was an assault on human dignity. As he wrote in a New York Times op-ed, the ordinary person suffered from a humiliating dependence on remote bureaucrats who can simply disconnect you.
The villain, par excellence, was nuclear power, centralized, technologically complex, impossible for the average man to understand. Nuclear energy had been operating safely (with the warm approval of the major environmental organizations) for almost two decades before the utopians discovered that it endangered human survival. And they quickly discovered that they had hit on an issue capable of mobilizing masses to action. Indeed, so successful were they in instilling terror of nuclear power that at the beginning of the 1980s nuclear disarmament proponents were trying to convince the public that nuclear bombs were as dangerous as nuclear energy. Chemist George Kistiakowsky, chairman of The Council for a Livable World, observed in a February 1981 interview: We have problems in trying to redirect the public fear of nuclear plants into fear of nuclear war. The utopian campaign against nuclear power was a huge success. Well before Three Mile Island, utilities had thrown in the towel on building new plants.
The utopians were opposed to all traditional energy sources, for they represented what Lovins called the hard path. The Natural Resources Defense Council, for example, brought suit against nuclear, coal, oil and hydroelectric projects. And while the utopians advocated what Lovins called the soft path, renewable sources of energy like sun and wind, scientist-writer Peter Metzger (from whom we borrowed the term coercive utopians) presciently observed that environmentalists are enthusiastic for energy sources as long as they do not exist and predicted the same hostility to solar energy, should it become economically viable. (And indeed, environmentalists are now in the forefront in seeking to block solar energy projects on federal lands including one in the Mojave Desert announced by Interior Department secretary Salazar on June 29th on the grounds they threaten endangered species, use vast amounts of water, and require unsightly transmission lines.)
The utopians made repeated efforts to take over the Democratic Party, beginning in the 1960s via the so-called New Politics that made George McGovern a Presidential candidate. They had their first actual taste of power in the Carter administration when leaders of the coercive utopians were given important posts, in some cases control of government bureaucracies. Writing in Fortune during Carters first year, journalist Juan Cameron identified 60 consumer, environmental and public interest activists who immediately moved into sub-cabinet posts and influential White House spots. Posts controlling financial spigots were especially valuable, enabling the utopians to siphon government funds to utopian organizations and programs. ACTION (which in 1993 would be merged into the Corporation for National and Community Service) was handed over to former anti-Vietnam war activist Sam Brown who in turn appointed fellow activist Margery Tabankin as head of VISTA (the largest grantmaker for service and volunteering, now part of Americorps). James Burnley, her successor under Reagan, noted wryly: If you were a member in good stead of the New Left you were guaranteed help if you had an organization. ACORN, with its Peoples Platform for achieving power (We will wait no longer for the crumbs at Americas door. We will not be meek, but mighty) and its Alinsky-style confrontational tactics was the first recipient of a National VISTA grant. A number of training centers for volunteers were funded, all based on Alinskys Rules for Radicals. (Give them a taste of blood said the training manual of the Midwest Academy, one of the grantees.)
But after this confidence-building start (in 1981 Ralph Nader organized a conference bringing together representatives from most utopian groups called hopefully Taking Charge: the Next 10 Years) the utopians ran into problems. From Reagan through the second President Bush, no President including Bill Clinton, who wound up governing from the center presented them with similar opportunities in their reach for executive power. On the other hand, they extended their grip on the consciousness industry: the universities, the churches and the mass media. And they made steady progress in radicalizing the Democrat Party through think tanks like the Center for American Progress (which replaced the Institute for Policy Studies as chief source of direction for the utopians) and the Institute for Americas Future (Institute for Policy Studies director Robert Borosage became President of this similar but trendier idea factory). For down-and-dirty mobilization in the internet age there was Moveon.org and the Daily Kos. And then, in 2008, the utopians triumphed one of their own was elected President.
There is a major difference between today and the Carter years. Then, the coercive utopians obtained an important foothold in the bureaucracy. Now they are the government. Obama was marinated in coercive utopian perspectives his entire adult life. In the pews of Reverend Wright for 20 years, the preacher who was to him like family, he heard repeatedly that America was the embodiment of racist imperialist evil. Sitting with unrepentant Weather Undergrounder Bill Ayres on the boards of progressive foundations like Woods and Joyce, Obama doubtless saw nothing controversial in dispersing money to Rev. Wrights church, ACORN and the educational enterprises of Ayres and his brother John. Obama himself was a community organizer, a characteristic coercive utopian line of work. He cooperated closely with Chicago ACORN, training its staff.
The Democrat Party now dominates both houses of Congress and the coercive utopians dominate the Democrat Party, despite a few hangdog Blue Dogs. There is no more telling evidence than Alan Colmes (formerly of Fox News Hannity and Colmes) defense of Van Jones, after his forced resignation, as a mainstream liberal. Sign a truther petition suggesting the U.S. perpetrated 9/11. Describe President Bushs call for increasing the domestic energy supply as a crackhead licking the crackpipe for another fix. Denounce white environmentalists for steering poison into the people-of-color community. Call for nationwide resistance against police. Call for the destruction of Israel. A talk show host who considers himself a standard bearer for liberalism gives you the kosher stamp as a mainstream liberal.
Controlling the executive and the legislature (and increasingly, the courts), the coercive utopians are able to act on a scale hitherto the stuff of dreams. ACORNs first government grant in the Carter years was for $470,475. Now despite ongoing investigations of ACORN registration fraud in a dozen states, it is eligible for billions under Obamas stimulus program. Under Carter, government bureaucracies funded solar energy projects, although typically of the utopians, much of the money intended for solar hardware wound up being used for solar propaganda. Under Obama green energy is to receive billions, siphoned off from economically viable energy producers via cap and trade legislation. Van Jones was supposed to be the Commiczar for those billions and he made no secret of what he saw as the real program. So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.
In global warming todays coercive utopians have discovered the most potent apocalyptic nightmare thus far devised with which to mobilize masses. Act now to contain greenhouse gases or the earth is doomed. At least the pollution with which the utopians in the 1970s frightened the public (the generations now on earth may be the last read the cover of one environmentalist handbook) was real. Man-made global warming is science by consensus with the consensus manufactured by the media, which treats dissenters as flat-earthers. Anyone interested in going beyond the unscientific fear-mongering should read Climate Change Reconsidered (880 pages, not beach chair reading), describing the findings of hundreds of scientists who are not supposed to exist. It includes a statement signed by 31,478 supposedly non-existent scientists that there is no convincing scientific evidence that man-made global warming will cause a catastrophic disruption of the earths climate.
The utopians (as some of them have been honest enough to admit) dont care if the global warming apocalypse is a scam. It provides grounds to take control of energy and with it the economy. As Van Jones put it shortly before his White House departure: If all you do is have a clean energy revolution, you wont have done anything No, we gonna change the whole system.
The stakes could not be higher as the Obama administration is poised to take over energy and health care. The coercive utopians can bring us to the point where, as the revered Wall Street Journal editor Robert Bartley put it, capitalism will be unable to deliver on its basic promise of a progressively higher standard of living for the less fortunate At that point the coercive utopians will have won, for they will be the anointed ones who allocate, ration and dole out to the dependent masses what is deemed their fair share of an ever-shrinking state-controlled economy.
And yet, although they currently ride high, the utopians have an Achilles heel the public is not with them. People do not like the plans the utopians have for them if fully apprized of what they are. At the 1981 Nader Taking Charge conference mentioned earlier, the head of the Midwest Academy, one of the training centers for activists, acknowledged that to obtain power you may have to waffle and be less clear on certain positions. Obama himself campaigned as a moderate, a centrist, a pragmatist, dedicated to bipartisanship and fiscal responsibility. On energy he was a master of deception. Obama convinced President of the United Mine Workers Cecil Roberts that he was a tremendous supporter of coal and the future of coal. At the same time, caught on YouTube, Obama declared: If somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can, its just that it will bankrupt them because theyre going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas thats being emitted.
Exposure is what the utopians have greatest reason to fear as the outpouring of public protest over Obamas health care power grab illustrated. And exposure is easier now than it was when we wrote The Coercive Utopians. Then we entitled one chapter The Media: Shield of the Utopians. This has not changed. To give just one example of the lengths to which the chief organs of opinion go, it took Van Joness resignation for the New York Times and major networks to so much as mention the story. There had been a firestorm of publicity leading to that resignation, but it was on Fox News (spearheaded by Glenn Beck), talk radio, the internet, the blogosphere.
What has changed is that establishment media no longer have the stranglehold on news they once did. Those who were dedicated to getting out information in the 1970s, whether it was on funding of terror support groups through church offerings or the false claims against nuclear energy or the activities of the radical institutes, were forced in many cases to create their own small scale media outlets circulating reports, starting newsletters. As long as there was only a paper trail, it was much easier for the utopians to claim quotes were out of context. With the rise of alternative media, evasions no longer work. A few minutes of watching Rev. Wright or Van Jones ranting on YouTube and its all over. Its precisely because he is afraid of the power of alternative media that Obama appointed Mark Lloyd as diversity Commiczar. Lloyd, an avowed admirer of Chávez and his treatment of the media (which was to shut down stations that criticized him), is perhaps the most dangerous appointment of all, for he has a cornucopia of proposals to constrain alternative media. These range from a prohibitive tax on stations broadcasting the likes of Rush Limbaugh (the money used to fund alternative viewpoints) to setting up local committees of activists to control what is broadcast to revoking the license of a station that didnt abide by the new rules.
So the task is to keep the channels of communication open and to clarify the nature of the broader agenda this administration pursues. The woman who stood up at Sen. Warners town meeting to say she was concerned about that agenda as much as about Obamas specific health care proposals had it right. As long as the issue is this bill or that bill, opponents can be picked off, coalitions assembled. It is essential to understand and bring to a halt the entire coercive utopian program.

Warner thinks Oback Barama is a great patriot?
Now that's funny.

These Congress people have things twisted. We don't work for them. They work for us.
They not only need to be run out of office. They need their pension funds cut severly and pay and other benefits cut.
How to distinguish Liberty from Tryanny:
Liberty | "Soft" Tyranny | |
1 | Rights are inherent in, and unalienable from, individuals | Rights are granted/rescinded by the majority through the government |
2 | Fundamental rights are life, liberty, and property (absence of coercion) | Fundamental rights are food, housing, and healthcare (absence of necessity) |
3 | Property is owned by individuals who make decisions as to its use, improvement, and transfer | Property is owned by 'the public' with government officials making decisions as to its use, improvement, and transfer |
4 | Government exists to protect the rights of individuals | Government exists to plan and direct the resources of society |
5 | Government authority is decentralized in a federal system with limited and enumerated powers | Government authority is centralized in a national system with broad and necessarily intrusive powers |
6 | Government action is prescribed by rules fixed and announced beforehand | Government action is arbitrary and at the descretion of "czars" and planning boards |
7 | Economic activity is driven by a large number of small entities interacting according to simple rules | Economic activity is driven by a small number of large entities operating within the constraints of complex regulations |
8 | Effective innovation results from contrarian thinking, individual initiative, and the voluntary exchange of property | Efficient implementation of government planning requires conformity of opinion, collective action, and the coerced transfer of property |
9 | Standards of living for the many increase permanently as they utilize improved products and services conceived by the few | Standards of living for the many increase temporarily as they utilize property redistributed from the few |
10 | Altruism is using one's own resources in concrete acts to help specific individuals | Altruism is obligating the resources of others for broad-brush programs to help mankind in the abstract |
Rights exists solely as a way to fairly decide whose will shall prevail in cases where two or more people disagree. They do not exist for the purpose of enslaving one person for the benefit of another (e.g., the "right" to free medical care.)
Liberty is the right to do whatever does not infringe the rights of others. Rights empower you to help yourself, free from interference by others.
Tyranny makes you a serf to be used by the elite to further their own power. Once upon a time, the nobility used religion to convince the serfs they had to serve the nobility. Modernly, the elite use good people's feelings of altruism to convince them to enslave both themselves and their neighbors. It's basically the same con game, just using a more sophisticated hook.
Bump to the top
ROGER THAT on the PENSIONS.
We need to get THAT squared away and soon or these sleazy leaches will continue to bleed us dry.
What do these words do anyway ? Are you Admin or something like that to be able to bump a story ?
Excellent article which explains a lot. I'll definitely be passing it on to a few people.
Pressed? This was business as usual. They only thing they were pressed to do was to admit it!
Hell, ROGER THAT on the guillotines, too!
As long as there was only a paper trail, it was much easier for the utopians to claim quotes were out of context. With the rise of alternative media, evasions no longer work. A few minutes of watching Rev. Wright or Van Jones ranting on YouTube and its all over.
Warner is outta his mind if he thinks he can sell Comrade Obamsky as an "Amerian patriot." A Soviet patriot maybe but...
Bump to the top
I'm no admin. Lets see what happens.
Seems like the story is on top. Did you check if it was already on top before you BUMPed it ?
rats lost it after grover cleveland. But really after jfk that are just the party of
communists, union thugs, homos, fascists and nannies.
Just total losers.
Obviously a young woman, not around during the Carter administration.
First, go to the following link... it is a page that lists all comments by anyone on any thread in chronological order. Many people like to follow all comments on all threads at once to find comments or threads that interest them. Refresh the page and you will see the latest comments.
Making the comment "Bump to the top" or BTTT causes the title of the thread (which is a clickable link) to appears at the top of this list, and it implies that the thread is worthwhile and deserves attention again at the top of the list.
It also makes it easy for me to find the thread again later, as it will appear on the page that lists my own comments and those made to me, like this...
The Communist/Marxist/Leftist Coercive Utopia is when the ruling elitist class have the peasants under their thumb living in luxury by the means of the peasant's fruit of their labor.
Awesome, MUST-READ, informative article. Thank you very much.
Obama is a radical communist Muslim. Word must get out.
Are you serious?
Every time we submit a post, the new post goes to the top of the lists of "read latest posts". "Bump to the top", abbrevieted as "bump" or "bttt" just means that the person found the article so useful or interesting, he is responding for the purpose of pushing the article back to the top of the post list so others will see it.
If you don't "bump" articles, they float down the list and get lost.
Articles that are generating a lot of replies don't need to be bumped because they are constantly being refreshed to the top of the list where people coming on to FreeRepublic will come across them. But it is common for people who don't want to make a reply to a thread, but still want to refresh the thread to bring it to a top, to just post "bump" or "bttt".
Another different trick is if you don't have the immediate time to read a long article, you post in it, and it gets added to your "comments" list where you can easily find it for later reading, rather than paging through a dozen pages to find it again.
Excellent article...save.
Truly excellent post!!
Captures exactly the forces, agenda and goals that animates this administration and more specifically the utopian movement.
It is marxism through the back door — and now... now they made it inside the house!!
We are at the Rubicon!
Thanks for the ping and BTTT !!
Thanks deks!
I didn't know about the chronological list of comments.
I wonder if a lot of people actually use that view to read FR.
I think he coined a new word... commiczar. Commy czar... communist czar, or it could be like commissar, a communist party official, from the Russian komissar.
Oh, the author is Mrs. Isaac. Good article.

If somebody needs the recipe scaled, just ask.) I know decoction mashes are unnecessary for this style, but I did it so I could figure out the decoction process before I attempted something that does normally use it. I'm glad I did though, it has a great thick mouthfeel. It's like a good thick porter, but not quite a stout. It has a dark ruby-brownish color, probably a combination of my water profile, slow cooling, and the decoction process. I know Fuggles are not a popular hops around these parts, but I feel like they work well for this style and balanced really well with the malt. I'm sure EKG would work as well. I used 1338 because that's what I have on hand, but I'm sure english/irish ale yeasts would work well and add additional positive flavors. It tastes more like Sam Adams Irish Red than Smithwicks or Murphy's Red. Definitely not a clone, that's just how it came out. I'll add a pic as soon as I pop open another bottle.
