Patent 5,922,478. July 1:1. 1!J99 R.P. Welty et al .. assignors to Musco Corp., Taylor, Mich. An article comprising a multi- layer coated substrate comprising at least one layer comprised of nickel; a layer comprised of chrome; a layer comprised of zir- conium, titanium, or zirconium- titanium alloy; a sandwich layer comprised of a plurality of alter- nating layers comprised of a zir- conium compound, a titanium compound, or a zirconium-tita- nium alloy compound and zirco- nium, titanium or zirconium- titanium alloy, wherein the layers comprised of a zirconium com- pound, a titanium compound, or a zirconium-titanium alloy com- pound alternate with the layers comprised of zirconium, titanium, or zirconium-titanium alloy; a layer comprised of a zirconium compound, a titanium compound, or a zirconium-titanium alloy compound; and a layer comprised of zirconium oxide, titanium ox- ide, or zirconium-titanium alloy oxide. AQUIOUS CUANING COMPOsmON u.s. Patent 5,922,665. ,July 1.'3, 1999 A. Liu, assignor to .1M Co.. St. Paul, Minn. A composition for removing hy- drophobic soils comprising a non- ionic surfactant; a very slightly water-soluble organic solvent; wa- ter; and an optional additive; wherein the nonionic surfactant and the slightly water-soluble sol- vent are each in an amount suffi- cient to achieve a haze point in the composition such that the composition of the nonionic sur- factant titrated with the very slightly water-soluble organic sol- vent becomes semitransparent at room temperature. 88
