The phosphoric acid derivative may be at a concentration ranging from 0.0000001 to 25% by weight. The paradichlorobenzene 14 may be at a concentration ranging form 0.0000001 to 25% by weight. The diluent may be at a concentration ranging from 0 to 90% by weight. Optional elements such as, an anionic surfactant, non-ionic surfactant, a dinintegration rate regulator, a complexing agent, a peroxy compound, a filler, a fragment essential oil, a dye, a bleaching agent, and a binder may be added to the toilet drain composition. The phase of the composition may be liquid, solid or semi-solid. One preferred configuration of the semi-solid block shape is that it has a series of nested concentric ridges defining a bull's eye target.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2002Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Inventor: Kenneth T.

Patent number: 4941185Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a first (e.g. half-tone) image constituted by a second (e.g. continuous tone) image convolved with a periodic (screen) function, to produce the second image is described. The invention is particularly suited to handling digitally represented half-tone images. The apparatus comprises a microcomputer (17) for determining digital data defining a frequency filter characteristic adapted to suppress the frequency or frequencies of the periodic function. A fast Fourier transform circuit (11) transforms the image data into the frequency domain and a multiplier (12) multiplies the transformed data by the frequency characteristic stored in a store (13). The resultant multiplied data is inversely transformed back into the image of spatial domain by a fast Fourier transform circuit (14) to generate the second image.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1988Date of Patent: July 10, 1990Assignee: Crosfield ElectronicsInventor: Alastair Reed
