Abstract: A driver drowsiness detection and alerting system has a plurality of marks in a ring configuration around an exterior cylindrical surface of a vehicle's steering wheel column assembly. An optical sensor assembly is located near the plurality of marks for detecting movement of the marks. The optical sensor assembly is connected to a device for alerting the driver if the steering wheel does not move for a prescribed time period while the motor vehicle is moving. The optical sensor assembly has an optical detector and a light emitter adjacent to each other. Additionally, the present invention relates to a kit of parts for such driver drowsiness detection and alerting system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to laundry scent customization and laundry scent customized products, compositions, packages containing said products, assembly and articles of manufacture for laundry scent customization, kit of parts for providing laundry scent customization and methods of laundry scent customization.

Abstract: A method for cleaning within a washing zone comprising: placing at least one article for treatment in the washing zone, providing of at least partially deionized water into the washing zone, and optionally providing cleaning composition into the washing zone wherein the combination of said optional cleaning composition and partial deionized water have a specific conductance of less than about 200 ?S/cm.

Abstract: A washing system for use in cleaning or washing a soiled substrate or substrates, the system comprising: a. a washing zone for contacting the soiled substrate with wash liquor; b. a feed supply for providing hot or cold feed water to the washing zone; c. a water-softening zone intermediate the feed supply and washing zone and in fluid communication therewith; d. an effluent storage and/or discharge zone; and e. a product dispensing zone intermediate the water softening zone and washing zone; and wherein the water-softening zone is effective to soften the water to a residual Ca2+ hardness of 1 mmol/L or less with a soft water flux of at least about 2 L/h, preferably at least about 10 L/h at a feed water pressure in the range from about 100 to about 1000 kP (1-10 bar). The water-softening zone is preferably a nanofiltration device having a cut-off in the range from about 100 to about 1000 Daltons, a clean water flux of at least 3 L/m2.h.100 kp (RO water at 25° C.

Abstract: A washing system for cleaning within a washing zone comprising at least one inlet capable of fluid communication with a feed water; at least one treatment zone in fluid communication with the at least one inlet, said at least one treatment zone comprising a water softening zone, an electrolysis zone, a dosing zone and combinations thereof; and at least one outlet in fluid communication the at least treatment zone capable of being in fluid communication with a washing zone.

Abstract: A composition for cleaning with a washing system comprising from about 15% to about 75% of at least one surfactant; from about 0.01% to about 10% of at least one enzyme; less than about 1% builder, and less than about 1% chelant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a high activity cellulase in combination with a softening clay. In the detergent compositions herein, the cellulase comprises a cellulase of high activity defined by the C14CMC-method. Preferably the detergent composition comprises a softening clay together with a clay flocculating agent and in case of liquid composition an anti-settling agent for the clay.
