Abstract: This control device is provided for an automation system comprising members to be controlled (42, 43, 44) connected to said control device via various connections of the BUS type (50, 51) by the intermediary of interface circuits (55, 56, 57). This control device depends on a PC and is constituted using a command environment, operating using an interpreted language. It is formed of a development portion in order to determine the management of the various members to be controlled and an operational portion in order to act on said members to be controlled.

Abstract: An automated system for acting on a set of blocks in order to carry out at least one task including a central control device, at least one shared data line, and interface circuits for connecting the blocks to the shared line. In one embodiment of the invention, the control device includes a PC computer on which is installed an operating software for determining the phases of operation of the blocks.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cleaning and/or treatment compositions comprising a dye conjugate, and processes of making and using such compositions. Such compositions can provide benefits such as an increase in the whiteness or blackness perception of a situs that is cleaned or treated with such compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising (A) a complex of cyclodextrin and at least one laundry treatment active wherein the complex is prepared by the steps of: (a) combining cyclodextrin and at least one laundry treatment active wherein the cyclodextrin and the laundry treatment active is dissolved, dispersed, suspended, or emulsified in at least one solvent; and (b) removing at least partially the solvent; (B) further comprising at least one laundry adjunct material selected from the group consisting of surfactants; stabilizers; builders; perfumes; enzymes; chelating agents; suds suppressors; colors; opacifiers; anti-oxidants; bactericides; neutralizing agents; buffering agents; phase regulants, dye-transfer inhibitors, hydrotropes, thickeners and mixtures thereof. The present invention is further directed to the process of preparing such compositions and to methods of treating substrates with such compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a product of reaction between a primary and/or secondary amine and one or more active ingredients. By the present invention, there is provided a release of the active component over a longer period of time than by the use of the active itself.

Abstract: A rinse-added fabric treatment composition having a rinse aid increases the rinse capacity of an aqueous rinse bath solution for removing laundry residue from laundered fabrics. When properly diluted in water, the rinse-added fabric treatment composition provides a rinse bath solution having a rinsing capacity of greater than 1. In addition, a rinse-added fabric treatment composition reduces the surfactant residue on a fabric, and includes from about 0.05% to about 10% of a residue reduction agent, a suds suppresser, and the balance adjunct ingredients. The residue reduction agent is selected from a cationic residue reduction agent, a zwitterionic residue reduction agent, and a combination thereof. Moreover, methods for reducing surfactant residue on fabric and a method for reducing the amount of water used in a rinsing step of a laundry process are included. A kit for improving the rinsing capacity of water includes a rinse-added fabric treatment composition and an instruction set.

Abstract: A rinse-added fabric treatment composition for reducing detergent residue and/or for improving the color and/or clarity of the rinse solution contains an agent for removing residual detergent surfactants from laundered fabrics and an appearance-enhancing selected from a peroxygen bleach, bluing agent and mixtures of the same. An antifoaming or suds suppressing material is optional but highly preferred for reducing the formation of suds during the rinsing of the laundered fabrics. Moreover, methods and uses of the compositions for improving the color and/or clarity of the rinse solution are included. A fabric treatment product for reducing detergent residue and/or for improving the color and/or clarity of the rinse solution includes a rinse added fabric treatment composition, a container for the composition and set of instructions concerning the use of the composition to improving the color and/or clarity of the rinse solution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laundry and cleaning composition comprising a detersive ingredient and a product of reaction between an amino functional polymer comprising at least one primary and/or secondary amine group, and a perfume component. By the present invention, there is obtained a release of the perfume component over a longer period of time than by the use of the perfume itself.

Abstract: Novel mannanases may be derived from eg Bacillus subtilis strain 168 or may be encoded by polynucleotide molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. The mannanases are alkaline and are useful e.g. in cleaning compositions, for modifying plant material, and for treatment of cellulosic fibres.
