  • Patent number: 10227552
    Abstract: An agent is provided which is to be used in the treatment of textiles, containing: i) at least one anionic, aromatic polyester, containing at least one structural unit of formula (I), at least one structural unit of formula (II) and at least one structural unit of formula (III) as described herein, and ii) at least one non-ionic, aromatic polyester containing at least one structural unit of formula (IV) and at least one structural unit of formula (V) as described herein, and iii) at least one surfactant. The agent has an excellent primary washing force and can be, in particular, more storage stable than single doses in a multi-chamber bag.

  • Patent number: 6915201
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a vehicle in which the vehicle's speed is only regulated, i.e., limited, if descent is detected. Descent detection is carried out based on the vehicle's actual acceleration and a calculated model acceleration of the vehicle, descent being detected if the rate of change of the actual acceleration and the difference between the actual acceleration and model acceleration are positive.
