A mobile App enables customers and restaurants to communicate with one another to negotiate reduced costs for meals at specified reservation times when the restaurant is otherwise light for business. As an example, the App enables the customer to specify either a percentage reduction on the total bill or a budget price for the entire meal. The restaurant may either accept the offer or provide counteroffers. Once agreed upon, if the customer is a no show, the customer compensates the restaurant for operational costs in saving the table by paying a previously agreed upon penalty fee.

Customers obtain customized textile materials by selecting style, shape, size, pattern and color for an undyed textile product. Based on a selection made by the customer, the textile product is transformed by a dyeing operation performed on a single item to yield a product, such as a shirt, pants, or jacket, which has a color and pattern of his or her own choosing, in the size and style he or she desires. The process can be performed in a retail setting using a dye machine which allows the process to be viewed by the customer. Preferably, the textile material is constructed from yarns which include cationic cotton alone or in combination with natural cotton or other natural or synthetic fibers, and using anionic dyes, such as a fiber reactive dye, such that the dye is exhausted during the process and effluent from the dye machine is environmentally friendly without excess dye, salts, and alkalis. To enhance the educational and entertainment experience of the customer, the dyeing operation can be performed in a transparent tank or water kettle in the retail outlet so that the customer can view, for example, the garment as it is being dyed to the customer's specifications.

摘要:
A nonwoven is formed from one or more performance enhancing fibers together with one or more cellulosic fibers. The nonwoven could include low melting fibers for holding the nonwoven together on melting, and could include one or more optional fibers which impart a characteristic of interest to the nonwoven. The cellulosic fiber in the nonwoven is treated with fire resistant chemicals. The nonwoven has enhanced fire barrier performance, such as char elongation and char strength.

摘要:
Nonwoven containing inherent flame retardant cellulosic fibers has improved fire barrier performance, such as char elongation and char strength when the inherent flame retardant cellulosic fibers are treated with flame retardant chemicals. The flame retardant chemical treatment on the inherent flame retardant cellulosic fibers can be done either before or after the nonwoven formation.

Customers obtain customized textile materials by selecting style, shape, size, pattern and color for an undyed textile product. Based on a selection made by the customer, the textile product is transformed by a dyeing operation performed on a single item (or multiple items selected to be dyed the same) to yield a product, such as a shirt, pants, or jacket, which has a color and pattern of his or her own choosing, in the size and style he or she desires. The process can be performed in a retail setting using a dye apparatus which allows the process to be viewed by the customer. To enhance the educational and entertainment experience of the customer, the dyeing operation can be performed in a transparent tank or water kettle in the retail outlet so that the customer can view, for example, the garment as it is being dyed to the customer's specifications.
摘要:
The invention relates to “closed loop” processes, systems and compositions for providing flame retardant properties to substrates containing at least about 5 weight percent of non-thermoplastic material, such as non-thermoplastic fibers, fibrous compositions or fabrics, and to treated substrates. The processes and systems are environmentally friendly, and advantageously conserve chemical compounds and water by recycling flame retardant composition.The processes of the invention generally comprise: (a) applying a flame retardant composition containing one or more flame retardant substances, an aqueous liquid and one or more adhesion agents to substrates; (b) removing excess flame retardant composition from the substrates; (c) permitting the substrates to dry to a low moisture content; and (d) recycling excess flame retardant composition; wherein the flame retardant composition does not contain an amount of a dye or other agent that could contaminate the flame retardant composition.A preferred “closed loop” system of the invention is shown in FIG. 1.
