Title: GIS Interface
Inventor: SIDAMBARAM SELVARADJ
IPC: G06T17/05
Filed: 2000-01-18
Abstract: <B>SATIVEW</B> is an interface between two pieces of computer software, SATURN a state of the art traffic assignment package and any GIS windows based package. The need for <B>SATVIEW</B> has arisen because SATURN is DOS based and does not incorporate or make use of the powerful graphics functionality available in Windows. Windows based GIS Packages offer powerful graphical utilities to present and manipulate geographic data in a user-friendly manner. They have been revolutionising the way in which traffic data can be organised and analysed. An interface to combine the analytical capabilities of SATURN with the powerful graphical capabilities of GIS is paramount. This invention is therefore a state-of-the art GIS interface to SATURN. A GIS interface can be developed to provide all of the functions that are currently available in P1X, SATLOOK and SATDB (software applications within the SATURN suite).

Title: Alkaline solid block composition
Inventor: HEILE BERNARD J
IPC: C11D3/06
Filed: 1998-10-02
Abstract: We have found that long standing problems relating to the stability of organic materials in alkaline detergents, including the reversion or hydrolysis of condensed phosphate sequestrants in alkaline solid detergent compositions can be alleviated by the use of an organic composition having vicinal hydroxyls. Such a solid block detergent can be manufactured by a process in which a source of alkalinity, a functional material including a condensed phosphate sequestering agent, an organic compound having two vicinal hydroxyl groups, are combined in a pourable composition or liquid. Such a liquid can be introduced into a plastic capsule and solidified. During manufacture and solidification, we have found that the vicinal hydroxyl compound prevents substantial hydrolysis or reversion of the condensed phosphate maintaining effective hardness ion sequestration during the use of the detergent. The stabilizer can also stabilize color, chlorine content and dispensing properties.
