Abstract: Validating a wash process includes establishing a surrogate reference standard by acquiring data of a candidate wash process and, additionally, including a standard cleaning marker and a standard decontamination marker; determining, through laboratory testing of the markers, that the candidate wash process was effective in cleaning and/or decontaminating the textiles washed; and, recording the acquired data and/or a function of the acquired data. A subsequent wash process then is validated by acquiring data of the subsequent wash process in the same way as in the candidate was process; recording the acquired data of the subsequent wash process in association with unique identifiers of textiles washed; and comparing the result of the function of the acquired data of the subsequent wash process with the result of the function of the acquired data of the candidate wash process, whereby the subsequent wash process is deemed effective upon a successful comparison.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance includes a wash basket that is rotatably mounted within a wash tub. A water supply is provided for selectively adding wash fluid to the wash tub, a motor assembly is mechanically coupled to the wash basket for selectively rotating the wash basket, and a turbidity sensor is positioned within the wash fluid. A controller is configured to operate the water supply to dispense a target volume of the wash fluid, perform an additive mixing cycle to agitate wash additive within the target volume of the wash fluid, obtain a first turbidity measurement, perform an agitation cycle with the target volume of the wash fluid, obtain a second turbidity measurement, and complete a wash cycle at the a wash cycle intensity determined a based at least in part on the first turbidity and the second turbidity.

Abstract: An appliance, system, and method for operating an appliance and determining presence of water softener at water provided to an appliance is provided. The system is configured to obtain a first water hardness value; obtain a second water hardness value based on a location of the appliance; determine a ratio of the first water hardness value and the second water hardness value; compare the ratio of the first water hardness value and the second water hardness value to a threshold limit; transmit a first water hardness signal when the threshold limit is exceeded, wherein the first water hardness signal corresponds to the first water hardness value; transmit, to the database storage device, a second water hardness signal when the ratio is within the threshold limit; and adjust operation of the appliance based on whether the first water hardness signal or the second water hardness signal is transmitted.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance includes a wash basket that is rotatably mounted within a wash tub and that defines a wash chamber for receiving a load of clothes. A camera assembly is used to monitor articles for washing within the wash basket. Specifically, a controller of the washing machine appliance uses the camera assembly to obtain a reference image and one or more test images, which utilize image recognition to assess turn-over of the articles for washing during a given wash cycle. When turn-over performance is inadequate, a controller may adjust one or more operating parameters of the wash cycle to improve performance. Turn-over performance of the wash cycle is determined to be adequate once the image recognition process fails to find adequate correlation between the reference image and the test image a predetermined number of times.

Abstract: A laundry appliance or method for the same may provide for or include detecting a load attribute for a load of articles at the laundry appliance. The method may also include initiating a laundry cycle at the laundry appliance for the load of articles. The method may further include directing a load signal corresponding to the detected load attribute to the secondary appliance and initiating a secondary operation at the secondary appliance in a predefined region based on the load signal during the laundry cycle.
