Title: Graffiti cleaning solution including a non-aqueous concentrate and diluted aqueous solution
Inventor: DECKER JAMES
IPC: C11D3/02
Filed: 2007-10-01
Abstract: A concentrated non-aqueous cleaning solution having a long shelf life includes an ester and an anhydrous surfactant. The ester is the active ingredient for dissolving graffiti, grease and other contaminants. The ester can be one of or a mixture of dimethyl glutarate, dimethyl succinate, dimethyl adipate, ethyl lactate, and a methyl ester extracted from soybean oil. The anhydrous surfactant is preferably alcohol ethoxylate. The ester in the concentrated solution does not degrade into an acid and alcohol as long as the solution is not mixed with water. This allows the concentrated solution to be shipped and stored and remain efficacious. The concentrate can be diluted with water immediately prior to use. Diluting before use makes the graffiti cleaner less expensive and prevents damage to sensitive surfaces but does not provide long enough time for the ester to degrade.

Filed: 2008-01-22
Abstract: A novel vehicular traffic management system that requires no special equipment in any vehicle is disclosed. More specifically, the novel system may be used when approaching a lane closure or lane reduction. The system comprises sequencing signaling devices along the roadway and a central controller. The controller commands the signaling devices to flash (or signal) according to a calculated trajectory. Vehicles traveling along side the signaling devices can pace their speed with cues from the signaling devices. Through this pacing, the system can position the vehicles such that they can merge safely and efficiently. The system can be expanded to merge more than just two lanes. Further refinements to the system include external connections that may include GPS tracking and Internet down/uploading. A feasibility condition/ determination can be used with the system to make the system even more robust and efficient.
