Abstract: A disposable wearing article has a first surface and a second surface. The second surface is provided with a tape fastener attached thereto. The tape fastener may be folded so as to be unfoldable in a longitudinal direction and includes a first tape strip and a second tape strip underlying the first tape strip. The first tape strip has a free end zone and a first end zone and is adhesively attached to the second tape strip. The second tape strip has a fixed end zone secured to the second surface and a second end zone. The first end zone of the first tape strip has an extension that extends beyond the second end zone of the second tape strip and is adhesively attached to the second surface either directly or via a third tape strip of the tape fastener.

Abstract: A disposable pull-on diaper includes front and rear waist regions and a pair of tape fasteners secured to an outer surface of the front waist region or the rear waist region. A tape member forming each of the tape fasteners has a distal end portion and a proximal end portion wherein the distal end portion is releasably attached to joining zones along which the front and rear waist regions are joined together.

Abstract: A stretchable composite sheet used in a waist region of a disposable wearing article. The stretchable composite sheet has a stretchable sheet and a non-stretchable sheet, and the stretchable sheet is stretched. Nip roll mechanisms are respectively arranged on one end side in the stretch direction (SD) and the other end side, and the stretchable sheet is bonded to the non-stretchable sheet by the nip roll mechanisms with the stretchable sheet contracted in the direction (CD) orthogonal to the stretching direction (SD). The above processes provide the stretchable composite sheet with basic weight change regions in which the basis weight of the stretchable sheet is changed depending on stretch conditions of the stretchable sheet. The basic weight of the basic weight change regions is greater than that of a center region of the stretchable composite sheet.

Abstract: An underpants-type disposable diaper is of a size and a water absorption capacity suitable for infants 3 to 6 years old, and is capable of preventing the protrusion of the groin portion of the diaper in use so that leakage does not occur. The leakage can be avoided by increasing the size and the water absorption capacity of the diaper main body to a level suitable for infants 3 to 6 year olds still using diaper and at the same time improving the tracks of a plurality of elastic members disposed along the peripheral edges of leg holes so as to reduce the elasticity in the vertical direction of the crotch section and prevent the protrusion of an infant's groin.

Abstract: A moving image reproduction apparatus making it possible to rapidly and reliably find a target frame by search with simple manipulations. It is determined whether or not a currently manipulated frame move button is the same as that manipulated at the immediately preceding manipulation. If the current and preceding manipulations are performed on the same frame move button, a moving image is moved over the same number of frames as the number of frames over which the moving image was moved at the preceding manipulation. If the current and preceding manipulation are performed on different frame move buttons, the moving image is moved over a smaller number of frames than the number of frames over which the movement occurred at the preceding manipulation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a video camera which ensures that the user will recognize recording mode, thereby preventing the user from confusing a target recording medium. For that, the video camera 100 has a character information composition unit 3 which composites image data outputted by a signal processing unit 2 with predetermined information consisting of characters or pictographic characters to be recognized by the user during operation and outputs a resulting video signal, a liquid crystal monitor 4 which displays the video signal outputted by the character information composition unit 3, a magnetic tape recording unit 8, and a memory card recording unit 9. The predetermined information is target media information which indicates whether the image data outputted by the electronic camera unit 1 is to be recorded on the magnetic tape recording unit 8 or memory card recording unit 9. Immediately after start of recording, a system control unit 5 displays an animated icon which appears to rotate.

Abstract: Each of image display apparatus, an image display method and a computer program is arranged to select one of a first display mode of displaying an image of an image signal having a first aspect ratio in the image display area and a second display mode of displaying an image of an image signal having a second aspect ratio in the image display area, superpose a character signal upon the image signal having the first aspect ratio in response to a character display command, change the second display mode to the first display mode, when the character display command is input while the second display mode is selected, and display an image of the image signal having the first aspect ratio, on which the character signal is superposed, in the image display area.

Abstract: In a process for making disposable diapers, a first web is continuously fed in its longitudinal direction. Tape fastener members extending in the longitudinal direction are fed to the first web so as to straddle respective lines corresponding to the side edges of the respective backsheets. Each of the tape fastener members has its longitudinally opposite end portions folded in a Z-shape or an inverted Z-shape. Top sections of these Z-shape and inverted Z-shape are coated on their undersides with a first self adhesive and bottom sections of these Z-shape and inverted Z-shape are coated on their undersides with a second self-adhesive. The tape fastener member is bonded to the first web by means of the second self-adhesive. The first web and the tape fastener members are simultaneously cut along the lines.

The first end zone of the first tape strip has an extension extending beyond the second end zone of the second tape strip and adhesively attached to the surface of the second tape strip.

Abstract: A process for making a disposable diaper wherein a plurality of backsheets destined to face a garment are successively connected one to another along respective side edges to form a first web. A first web is continuously fed in its longitudinal direction. Tape fastener members extending in the longitudinal direction are fed to the respective backsheets being contiguous one to another in the first web so as to straddle respective lines corresponding to the side edges of the respective backsheets. Each of the tape fastener members has its longitudinally opposite end portions folded in a Z-shape or an inverted Z-shape. Top sections of these Z-shape and inverted Z-shape are coated on respective under surfaces with a first self-adhesive and bottom sections of these Z-shape and inverted Z-shape are coated on respective under surfaces with a second self-adhesive. The tape fastener member is bonded to the first web by means of the second self-adhesive.
