Patent number: 11274269Abstract: A solid, particulate composition having at least one water-soluble carrier material, at least one fragrance and at least one rheology modifier from the group of heteroglycans. The carrier material being a water-containing salt (hydrate) of which the water vapor partial pressure, at a specific temperature in the range of from 30 to 100° C., corresponds to the H2O partial pressure of the saturated solution of this salt, such that the salt melts at this temperature in its own water of crystallization. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods for preparing the solid composition and to a washing or cleaning agent containing the solid composition. Moreover, the present invention also relates to the use of such a washing or cleaning agent for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces and corresponding methods for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces using such a washing or cleaning agent.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Henkel AG & Co.

Patent number: 10858814Abstract: A toilet rim block which consists of an outer cover and a core, and to a rim block cage including the toilet rim block. The outer cover includes a first composition and the core includes a second composition. Preferably, the first and the second compositions differ from each other by at least one of the following features: different active substances, different concentration but same active substance, and different viscosity. The outer cover partly encloses the core and the core protrudes on at least one face of the toilet rim block right to the surface as a pole and is exposed. The core is shaped such that the surface of the exposed area changes upon even wear of the surface of the toilet rim block, the surface of the exposed area of the core reducing upon even wear of the surface of the toilet rim block.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Inventors: Christian Reichert, Uwe Trebbe, Michael Horn, Robert Stephen Cappleman, Michael Voelker

Patent number: 8615605Abstract: A system to automatically classify types of IP addresses associated with a user. Information, such as user names, machine information, IP address, etc., may be obtained from logs. For each user or host in the logs, home IP addresses are identified from IP addresses where the user or host shows a predetermined level of activity. Travel IP addresses are identified, which are IP addresses at locations greater than a predetermined distance from the home IP addresses, as determined from geolocation data. A pattern analysis may be performed to determine which of the home IP addresses are work IP addresses associated with the user or host. The system may thus provide a classification of a user's or host's associated IP addresses as being one of travel, home, and work IP addresses. From this classification, mobility patterns may be derived, as well as applications to enhance security, advertising, search and network management.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2010Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Fang Yu, Yinglian Xie, Martin Abadi, Stefan Roberts Savage, Geoffrey Michael Voelker, Andreas Pitsillidis

Patent number: 8570209Abstract: A process for optimizing the operation of an active lateral-view sensor when the height above the surface to be detected is variable, includes the following steps: i) continuously determining the height of the lateral-view sensor above the surface to be detected, and ii) adjusting the scanning beams emitted by the lateral-view sensor for scanning the surface to be detected by roll rotation as a function of the determined height of the lateral-view sensor such that variation of the surface to be detected is reduced during the orbit of the lateral-view sensor.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2009Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Astrium GmbHInventor: Michael Voelker
