Abstract: Novel apparatus and methods for a reusable, multi-layered diaper are disclosed. The diaper offers maximum health protection and ecological sensibility, with an ideal balance of comfort, cost and absorbency utilizing a unique multi-layered construction. The multi-layered construction comprises a first layer contacting a body, the first layer being a polyester wicking fabric. The multi-layered construction also comprises a middle layer associated with the first layer. The middle layer being significantly absorbent and characterized by the presence of viscose fibers to increase the absorbency of at least one middle layer. The multi-layered construction further comprises an outer layer associated with at least one middle layer. The outer layer being impermeable to liquids such that the diaper is waterproof. The present invention also comprises methods for making the reusable, multilayered diaper.

Abstract: A packet for containing documents and for providing thermal protection of those documents, the packet including a sacrificial ablating layer surrounding the documents, and a metal foil covering for shielding the ablating layer from contact with surrounding air.
