Patent number: 10915862Abstract: A system for documenting product usage of a product is disclosed. The system can include a memory device configured to store an acoustic signature model. The acoustic signature model can be representative of an acoustic profile of the product emitted during use of the product. The system can also include an auditory capture mechanism and a processor. The auditory capture mechanism can be configured to monitor a product use environment for a potential use sound profile and capture the potential use sound profile. The processor can be configured to analyze the captured potential use sound profile in relation to the acoustic signature model and to signal a qualifying match when the captured potential use sound profile meets the acoustic signature model. The system can be configured to document a product usage when the processor signals the qualifying match.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Andrew M. Long, Jonathan D. Boulos, Jose A. Corella, III, Daryl S. Bell, Joseph P. Fell

Publication number: 20040102747Abstract: A liner adapted for insertion into a crotch portion of thong underwear for absorbing bodily fluids and protecting the garment from such fluids. The liner includes a left liner edge and a right liner edge converging downward toward an apex of the liner. The liner is sized and configured such that upon insertion of the liner into the crotch portion, the liner apex contacts the crotch portion at a location adjacent a lower end of the crotch portion, the left liner edge does not extend laterally out beyond a left garment edge, the right liner edge does not extend laterally out beyond a right garment edge, and the liner apex is not overlapping with the web of the thong underwear that extends between the buttocks of the wearer. These fit characteristics ensure that the liner does not extend beyond the edges of the thong underwear or onto the web, thereby minimizing irritation of the wearer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2002Publication date: May 27, 2004Applicant: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Daryl S.
