More particularly, fibrous structures comprising an oil system comprising a non-silicone oil comprising a triglyceride having a fatty acid profile containing a palmitic acid content of greater than about 15 wt %, sanitary tissue products comprising such fibrous structures and processes for making such fibrous structures are provided.

Abstract: Bulk softened fibrous structures, especially bulk softened, polar agent-free fibrous structures, and methods for making such fibrous structures are provided.

Abstract: Individualized trichomes, methods for individualizing trichomes, chemical derivatives of individualized trichomes, trichome-containing fibrous structures, single- or multi-ply sanitary tissue products comprising such fibrous structures and methods for making such fibrous structures and sanitary tissue products are provided.

Abstract: Individualized seed hairs, methods for individualizing seed hairs, chemical derivatives of individualized seed hairs, seed hair-containing soft fibrous structures, single- or multi-ply sanitary tissue products comprising such fibrous structures and methods for making such fibrous structures and sanitary tissue products are provided.

Abstract: A web-making fabric for producing a high caliper fibrous web and the fibrous web produced thereby. The web-making fabric comprises a reinforcing structure and a framework joined to the reinforcing structure. The framework defines a plurality of deflection conduits, at least one deflection conduit is a negatively radiused deflection conduit, and at least one deflection conduit is a positively radiused deflection conduit. The positively radiused deflection conduits are sized, shaped, and arranged to maximize fiber deflection along the periphery of the conduits. The web comprises three regions, a first region a second region and a third region. The first region is immediately adjacent to at least one of the second region and the third region. The second region comprises a plurality of negatively radiused domes. The third region comprises a plurality of positively radiused domes.

Abstract: Processes for making fibrous structures. More particularly, processes for making fibrous structures comprising an additive, especially a solid additive, and fluidizable mixtures comprising a solid additive that are useful in such processes are provided.

Abstract: Fibrous structures comprising an additive, more particularly finished fibrous res comprising a low surface energy solid additive, and/or sanitary tissue products sing such finished fibrous structures, are provided.

Abstract: Fibrous structures comprising an additive, more particularly finished fibrous structures comprising a nanoparticle solid additive, and/or sanitary tissue products comprising such finished fibrous structures, are provided.

Abstract: Fibrous structures exhibiting improved softness and single- or multi-ply sanitary tissue products comprising such fibrous structures are provided by the present invention.

Abstract: Papermaking processes and more particularly to papermaking processes for foreshortening fibrous structures are provided.

Abstract: Fibrous structures comprising a fiber flexibilizing agent system, methods for making such fibrous structures and sanitary tissue products comprising such fibrous structures are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for sweeping a laser beam in a preset pattern, while, at the same time, directing the pattern to any area in a predetermined scanning area. The invention is particularly useful in LADAR applications. In one version of the invention, a series of optical prisms are arranged in concentric tubes so that the prisms have a common optical path. The tubes and, hence, the prisms, may be independently rotated by precision electric motors coupled to gear rings on the tubes.
