Patent number: 8385730Abstract: An air freshener with customizable fragrances is disclosed. The air freshener accepts a plurality of fragrance modules, which allow a user to create customized fragrant environments. A fan and/or heating element are included to increase fragrance dispersal. Additional components may be included into the air freshener to provide enhancements to the user experience, including but not limited to a clock, timer, or a music player. The air freshener obtains power from a number of sources, such as AC mains or DC batteries. Energy storage devices located on board the air freshener may be charged by inductive or solar power. The air freshener may also include lighting elements and styling cues to integrate into the local environment.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2009Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Access Business Group International LLCInventors: Donald W. Bushman, Kalliopi S. Haley, Robert D. Faber, David M. Flower, Douglas K. Feenstra

Patent number: 5458799Abstract: The present invention relates to a nonionic loaded powder detergent composition which is free-flowing and is manufactured and agglomerated in a single operation. The free-flowing agglomerated powder detergent composition is produced by mixing sodium carbonate, a di- or tricarboxylic acid and a nonionic surfactant to form a nonaqueous slurry. Water is then added to the slurry to solubilize portions of the sodium carbonate and the di- or tricarboxylic acid which allows them to react to form a builder salt in the slurry. Silica is then added to the slurry to form a flowable or nearly flowable powder detergent mixture.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 1993Date of Patent: October 17, 1995Assignee: Amway CorporationInventor: David M. Flower
