  • Patent number: 6758411
    Abstract: A liquid two part cleaning composition for hard surfaces, and a two chamber bottle for dispensing the cleaner are disclosed. The cleaner includes a first basic liquid and a second acidic liquid. At least one of the liquids includes a surfactant system. At least one of the liquids includes a foam inhibitor. When the first and second liquid are dispensed on a surface, carbon dioxide gas released instantaneously creates a quickly breaking foam on the surface. The bottle has horizontal orientation of the first and second chamber that assures a user's thumb is on the front wall and a user's fingers are on the rear wall of the bottle when dispensing. The horizontal orientation provides an ergonomically advantageous wide range of motion. The positioning of a user's thumb on the front wall of the bottle allows for design adjustments in the bottle to achieve equal dispensing from both chambers.

  • Patent number: 5613148
    Abstract: A method for activating and executing objects containing data and procedures including the steps of relaying, by a first object in a first address space, a communication from a process in a second address space to a second object in the first address space, activating, by the second object, a third object containing data and procedures in response to the relayed communication, and executing, by the activated third object, an operation in response to the relayed communication. In addition, an apparatus for activating and executing remote objects containing data and procedures including a first object in a first address space for relaying a communication from a process in a second address space to a second object in the first address space, apparatus for activating, in the second object, a third object containing data and procedures in response to the relayed communication, and apparatus for executing, in the activated third object, an operation in response to the relayed communication.
