  • Patent number: 10992814
    Abstract: A computing device can detect that a first call has taken place on a desk phone, which triggers recording of location-specific information indicating a location of the computing device. The location-specific information can be established as the base of the desk phone. Later, the computing device can again record location-specific information indicating a current location of the computing device and compare the current location of the computing device with the location-specific information for the location of the desk phone. When the current location of the computing device is substantially the same as the location of the desk phone, the computing device can enable computer telephony integration (CTI) controls on the computing device to control the desk phone.

  • Patent number: 5753602
    Abstract: An improved process for the compression and tabletting of solid sustained release toilet bowl cleaners comprises the addition of a small amount of an anionic surfactant which produces a suitably compressed tablet with controlled rates of dissolution for long term cleaning efficacy. The surfactant allows for the formation of more tightly compressed tablets which require less compression energy expenditures reducing the wear and tear on commercial large scale tabletting machines.
