Appl. No.:

10/128017

Inventors:

Paul Raymond Sand - Woodridge IL
Kenneth Ward - Naperville IL
Jan Zheng - Naperville IL

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

B60R 2500

US Classification:

701 36, 701213, 34235707, 34082536

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for an automobile security system. A GPS Receiver is used to measure the location of an automobile, and after the user has left the car, to measure the location of the user. The location of the car when it is parked is recorded in the GPS Receiver System. When the user is more than a pre-determined distance from the car, as determined by a GPS location measurement that is compared with the stored GPS location, the security system is activated and the car is locked. Subsequently, when the user comes within a second pre-determined distance of the car, the security system is deactivated, and the car is unlocked. Advantageously, both the locking and unlocking is accomplished without forcing the user to perform any manual act. Advantageously, the user can get directions from the GPS Receiver to help locate the car.

International Classification:

A61L 904
A61L 9012
A61L 9013

US Classification:

422 5

Abstract:

A composition for deodorizing and refreshing surfaces such as carpets, upholstery, furniture etc. The composition disclosed is a highly friable foam that rapidly evaporates upon contact with the surface to be refreshed. Therefore, the composition does not require removal by vacuuming after application to the surface. A method for using the composition to deodorize and refresh a surface is also disclosed.

Kenneth Ward - Dumont NJ
Edward Morris - Paramus NJ

Assignee:

Block Drug Company, Inc. - Jersey City NJ

International Classification:

A61L 904

US Classification:

239 35

Abstract:

An air freshener device which indicates when air freshening fragrance formulation contained therein is consumed. The device has a plurality of chambers which contain the same or different fragrance formulations. The inner walls of the chambers are contrastingly colored with respect to the fragrance formulation so that, when the fragrance formulation is consumed, the colored walls are exposed indicating to the user that the formulation within that chamber has been depleted. The multi-chamber feature of the device provides the possibility of multiple fragrance choices and, at the same time, allows for the release of fragrance for an extended period of time.

Appl. No.:

6/674486

Inventors:

Stanley F. Rak - Mundelein IL
Kenneth Ward - Wheeling IL

Assignee:

Culligan International Company - Northbrook IL

International Classification:

B05D 310
B05D 500

US Classification:

427244

Abstract:

An excellent reverse osmosis membrane having a high flux with superior chlorine resistance and low salt passage can be obtained by interfacially condensing a water soluble aromatic polyamide prepolymer with an essentially monomeric, aromatic, amine reactive polyfunctional acyl halide. The polyamide prepolymer may be prepared through the condensation reaction of an aromatic diamine and an aromatic anhydride acyl halide. Preferably the amide prepolymer, prepared from metaphenylene diamine and trimelletic anhydride acid chloride, is reacted with trimesoylchloride to form the thin film membrane of the subject invention.

Assignee:

Block Drug Company, Inc. - Jersey City NJ

International Classification:

B65D 8584

US Classification:

2065241

Abstract:

A package for containing two automatic toilet bowl cleaners, one containing a bleaching cleaner and the other containing a detergent cleaner and a fragrance or dye susceptible to degradation by the bleaching agent, has separate pouches to separate the solids. The pouches open in concert to allow simultaneous dispensing of the solids. In operation, the water in the toilet cistern and bowl is cleaned both by the detergent and the bleaching agent, and the fragrance or dye is not affected by the bleaching agent.

Block Drug Company, Inc. - Jersey City NJ

International Classification:

C11D 1704
C11D 328

US Classification:

510191

Abstract:

A toilet cleaning block that releases a halogen containing sanitizing agent in a controlled, substantially constant rate for about 2 to about 4 months of constant contact with water and is then completely dissolved in the water comprises an admixture of about 50% to about 80% by weight of a halogen containing sanitizing agent, about 20% to about 40% by weight of a bulking agent such as aluminum hydroxide, about 0% to about 20% by weight sodium bicarbonate, and about 1 to about 20% by weight of a sacrificial dissolution rate regulating agent such as sodium chloride.

Assignee:

The Block Drug Company - Jersey City NJ

International Classification:

C11D 1704

US Classification:

510192

Abstract:

An improved process for the compression and tabletting of solid sustained release toilet bowl cleaners comprises the addition of a small amount of an anionic surfactant which produces a suitably compressed tablet with controlled rates of dissolution for long term cleaning efficacy. The surfactant allows for the formation of more tightly compressed tablets which require less compression energy expenditures reducing the wear and tear on commercial large scale tabletting machines.
