Abstract: A device configured to manage skin health within a skin fold includes a textile material having an antimicrobial silver complex and a liquid translocation feature. The liquid translocation feature is characterized by a transportation of at least 1.0 gram of liquid moisture over at least a 12 cm length of the textile material such that the textile material is configured to concurrently treat moisture accumulation and intertrigo within the skin fold.

Abstract: A spray dispenser for containing and dispensing a fluid comprises a barrel to contain the fluid and a cap portion connected to the barrel. The cap portion includes a pump means. A fluid conduit is within the barrel and connected to the pump means. A clip is connected to a selected one of the barrel and the cap portion, such that the spray dispenser is in an inverted orientation when in place in a pocket by way of the clip. Alternatively, a plate type-member and a removable cap cover may be selectively employed to maintain the spray dispenser in an inverted orientation when not in use.

Abstract: A diaper construction is provided with an external porous reinforcement strip at the front part of the outside of the diaper, which strip provides reinforcement against an adhesive fastening tab and provides an oil contamination tolerant adhesion surface.

Abstract: A corrosion protective coating composition, applied over a metal surface, contains frangible microcapsules which rupture and release fluid upon impact or other stress likely to damage the coating. The fluid, from the microcapsules, contains a film forming component to cover the damaged area of the coating and a corrosion inhibitor for the metal surface.

Abstract: Water-based pigmented ink formulations are disclosed including a water soluble or water dispersible silicone-containing polymer additive comprising a vinyl silicone polymer. The additive significantly reduces kogation, mudcracking, and banding in some or all of the pigmented ink formulations.

Abstract: A disposable tape tab for a diaper or a like article is provided with at least a fastening tape tab portion and a release tape tab portion, the fastening tape tab portion having a fastening surface which fastening surface is on a face opposite the adhesive surface face of the release tape tab portion. The fastening tape tab portion and said release tape tab portion are joined by at least one adhesive-to-substrate bond with no adhesive layer to adhesive layer contact. Preferably the fastening surface on the fastening tape tab is a pressure sensitive adhesive, with both the fastening tape tab and the release tape tab having a release layer on the face opposite the face having the adhesive layer.

Abstract: A layered microwave radiation absorber comprises an absorbing layer bound to one side of a conductive layer (such as a metallic plate or foil), and an adhesive layer bound on the other side of the conductive layer. The combination may be applied directly to the surface of any object, but especially to an existing conductive object coated with an nonconductive coating (such as paint) without removing the nonconductive coating from the surface. Several types of absorbing materials may be used, and other layers may be included. The absorber has superior resistance to delamination.

Abstract: A microwave radiation absorbing adhesive comprises dissipative particles bound in a thermoplastic or thermosetting adhesive The absorbing adhesive may be applied directly to the surface of any object, or to an irregularly shaped object, or into cracks or crevices in or between objects, including conventional absorbers. Several types of dissipative particles and adhesives may be used.

Abstract: Machinable ceramic composites having a low dielectric constant. The composite comprises ceramic bubbles uniformly distributed throughout a ceramic matrix. These composites can be used as ceramic substrates and housings in electronic packaging, and as windows transparent to microwave and millimeter wave radiation.

Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation absorber is formed by dispersing into a dielectric binder acicular magnetic metallic filaments with an average length of about 10 micron or less, diameters of 0.1 micron or more, and aspect (length/diameter) ratios between 10:1 and 50:1. Preferably the average length is about 5 micron, the aspect ratios are between 10:1 and 25:1, and the dielectric binder is polymeric. The volume fraction of the filaments may be lower than 35% of the total and still provide satisfactory absorption. An absorbing paint is formed by dissolving the absorber in a base liquid. The absorber or absorbing paint may be applied to a conductive surface, such as a metallic wire, plate or foil. Impedance matching materials are preferred but not required.
