International Classification:

C11D 1700

US Classification:

510351, 510352, 510357, 510426, 510492, 510536, 510537

Abstract:

A liquid detergent composition includes an anionic surfactant component, a viscosity-enhancing agent, and a liquid carrier. The liquid detergent composition is substantially free of nonionic surfactant. The anionic surfactant component is present in an amount at least as great as about 2% by weight. The anionic surfactant component is also present in an amount no greater than about 7% by weight. The anionic surfactant component includes an alkyl ether sulfate material and a linear alkyl benzene sulfonate material which are present in a ratio in the range of from about 5:1 to about 1:0. 5. The viscosity-enhancing agent is present in an amount sufficient so that the liquid detergent composition has a viscosity no less than about 120 centipoise.

Appl. No.:

10/907988

Inventors:

Daniel Wood - Phoenix AZ, US
Melani Duran - Mesa AZ, US

Assignee:

The Dial Corporation - Scottsdale AZ

International Classification:

C11D 1/65

US Classification:

510488, 510522, 510527

Abstract:

A liquid fabric softener composition is provided which includes a texture enhancing component, such as a long chain difatty acid, that is deposited on a fabric during laundering, the deposited enhancing component changing the “feel” of the fabric. Preferably, the deposited enhancing component substantially detaches from the fabric in subsequent laundering cycles to reduce build-up. The enhancing component is preferably water-insoluble in an acidic pH, such as during the rinse cycle occurring after washing fabrics with a detergent, yet water soluble in an alkaline medium enabling the deposited enhancing component to be detached from fabric in subsequent “wash” cycles.

Abstract:

A unique liquid laundry detergent with enhanced stain removal capacity on bleachable stains is described that comprises linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, alkyl ether sulfate, alcohol ethoxylate, alkali metal silicate, polyacrylate, and optionally carbonate. The composition is remarkably effective at stain removal although the composition is entirely devoid of enzymes and the wash conditions devoid of any bleach additives.

International Classification:

G06T 15/30

US Classification:

345422, 345421

Abstract:

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that improve the automatic generation of near and far clipping planes for a 3D scene. The viewing frustum is intersected with the scene to determine the range of depth that a particular scene occupies in the viewing frustum. The ratio of the near clipping plane to far clipping plane is adjusted as appropriate to ensure a desired minimum level of Z-buffer precision is achieved. The clipping planes are set sufficiently far outside of the object bounds to prevent triangles which are parallel to the clip planes from being accidentally clipped. An API is provided to allow other programs to retrieve the near and far clipping plane values with the desired minimum Z-buffer precision for a particular scene without having to interact with the Z-buffer.

345426, 345419

Abstract:

A lighting model specified in light space may be transformed to a 3D scene, which may include numerous lights. When the lighting model is transformed to the 3D scene and is uniformly scaled or near-uniformly scaled, intensity or brightness of light at sample points, corresponding to points in the 3D scene, may be adjusted proportionately for a light source using a value based, at least partly, on a transform matrix. When the lighting model in the light space is scaled to non-uniformly stretch a lit area, the sample points may be transformed to the light space, using an inverse of a transform matrix. Distances from the light source to the transformed sample points in the light space may be used to determine attenuation and range with respect to the light source.
