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:
Basalt fiber and/or glass fiber, when combined with flame retardant (FR) cellulosic fiber, forms a nonwoven fire barrier with enhanced fire barrier performance, such as char elongation and char strength.
摘要:
A closed-loop system and process is used for applying fire retardant chemicals to fibers. Fibers are preferably positioned in a vessel such as a dye machine which circulates the fire retardant chemicals. After absorption of the fire retardant composition, non-absorbed fire retardant chemicals are recovered and re-used on subsequent batches of fibers. Recovery can be achieved by directing the non-absorbed fire retardant composition into a second dye machine containing additional fibers, or by extracting the fire retardant composition by centrifugation or other means, or by a combination of the two processes. The process is environmentally friendly, and allows for higher throughput on impregnating fibers with fire retardant chemicals.
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.
