  • Publication number: 20240141593
    Abstract: Disclosed are multi-ply tissue products comprising a non-crosslinked binder that are durable and dispersible. The products generally have a Slosh time less than 2 minutes, such as less than about 60 seconds, such as less than about 45 seconds. Surprisingly, the foregoing Slosh times are achieved despite the tissue products having relatively high cross-machine direction (CD) wet tensile strength, such as greater than about 100 g/3?. Typically, increasing wet tensile strength, particularly wet CD tensile strength, negatively effects dispersability and increases Slosh time. Despite this trend, the present invention surprisingly provides a tissue product having a relatively high degree of wet strength and good dispersability.

  • Publication number: 20240113813
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device may transmit, via a network to an application, a series of sensor measurements captured by the device, each sensor measurement having an associated timestamp based on a clock of the device. The device may receive, from the application, an indication that at least a portion of the series of sensor measurement were not received by the application. The device may determine, for those sensor measurements not received by the application, timestamp differences between their timestamps and a current time of the clock of the apparatus, after receiving the indication. The device may resend the portion of the series of sensor measurements to the application and their timestamp differences.

  • Publication number: 20240085148
    Abstract: The bear spray holster with sound alarm is intended to prevent bear attacks on humans. The holster includes a cylindrical body for securing an aerosol canister and a portable alarm. In addition, the holster includes a pull strap that is configured to connect the canister to the detachable pull ring on the portable alarm. By securing both ends of the pull strap, the portable alarm activates when the canister is removed from the cylindrical body. During a bear encounter, the user can easily remove the canister from the holster and activate the portable alarm, all in one motion. Although bears typically hold their breath during a short-range charge or assault, the sound of the alarm disrupts the bear's breathing pattern. This disruption gives the user the best opportunity to spray in the direction of the bear, causing the bear to inhale more of the chemical repellant and retreat.
