Abstract: The invention relates to a solid composition for use in the treatment of textiles, containing respectively with respect to the total weight of the solid composition, a respective total amount of 25-65 wt.-% of at least one peroxide compound, 10-20 wt.-% of at least one organic bleaching activator, 5-20 wt.-% alkali metal silicate, 1-15 wt.-% of at least one polysaccharide, 0-5 wt.-% surfactant. Said solid composition is enveloped in a water-soluble material in order to obtain storage-stable single use portions together with liquid surfactant-containing compositions. The claimed solid composition can be used as an additive in conventional textile treatment agents.

Abstract: Solid compositions for use in textile treatment, each comprising, based on the total weight of the solid composition, a total amount of each of —30% to 70% by weight of at least one peroxide compound, —10% to 20% by weight of at least one organic bleach activator, —5% to 50% by weight of hydrogencarbonate, calculated as sodium hydrogencarbonate, —0% to 5% by weight of surfactant, where the total amount of organic compound in the solid composition is 10% to 50% by weight, preferably 20% to 35% by weight, are thermally stable and can be stored reliably. They are suitable as an additive to conventional textile treatment compositions, especially to liquid washing compositions, and can be provided as a portion encased with a water-soluble material.

Abstract: The application describes fragrant water-soluble packaging which contains a liquid laundry detergent or cleaning composition and a water-soluble envelope. The liquid laundry detergent or cleaning composition comprises at least 10% by weight of glycerol, a second solvent, surfactant and a perfume, where the perfume contains particular amounts of perfume constituents.

Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid detergent or cleaning agent, comprising a) an anionic surfactant neutralized with an amine, b) an alkoxylated oxo alcohol having 7 or 8 alkoxy units, and c) up to 10 wt. %, relative to the entire detergent or cleaning agent, of water. The liquid detergent or cleaning agent has very good cleaning performance toward soiling containing fat and can be a component of water-soluble packagings.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for containing and dispensing a particulate detergent composition. The apparatus includes a transparent container. The transparent container holds a solid state particulate detergent composition. The apparatus also includes a solid state particulate detergent composition. The solid state particulate detergent composition includes a number of surfactants.

Abstract: The invention relates to detergent or cleaning agent products comprising: a) at least one first substantially water-soluble layer; b) at least one first chamber; and c) at least one second substantially water-soluble layer. The at least one first chamber contains a unit dose of a liquid and/or solid detergent or cleaning agent. Also disclosed are methods for manufacturing detergent or cleaning agent products as well as the use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water-soluble packaging containing an agent and a water-soluble wrapping. Said water-soluble wrapping contains a bittering agent in a dilution of at least 1:250.

Abstract: A method for operating a hybrid drive system which includes ascertaining an overall cost function that takes into account the cost function, which is a function of the operating point, for minimizing an energy usage of the hybrid drive system, and that takes into account one or more partial cost functions, which are a function of the operating point, which are each assigned to a requested special function; determining an optimized operating point of the hybrid drive system corresponding to an optimization according to the ascertained overall cost function; operating of the hybrid drive system at the operating point; and executing of those of the requested special functions for which the determined operating point is within an operating range assigned to the respective special function.

Abstract: The application describes a water-soluble packaging having at least two chambers and containing a first liquid detergent or cleaning agent with a low content of water, a second liquid detergent or cleaning agent with a low content of water and a water-soluble wrapping, said first liquid detergent or cleaning agent with a low content of water containing an optical brightener and said second liquid detergent or cleaning agent with a low content of water containing a color transfer inhibitor.

Abstract: A method for operating a driving system of a motor vehicle, in particular, the driving system having an internal combustion engine and at least one electric motor, and during warm-up of the internal combustion engine, the latter being loaded with a specifiable torque; and the at least one electric motor generating a torque at least at times, to unload or load the internal combustion engine. An actual torque of the internal combustion engine is compared to a specifiable first setpoint torque of the internal combustion engine; a difference of the actual torque from the first setpoint torque being formed; and a time integral being formed over the difference formed; and a fault being detected in the warm-up of the internal combustion engine, as a function of the time integral formed.
