Abstract: A mechanically deformed nonwoven comprising a plurality of protrusions extending outwardly from a first surface of the nonwoven and having openings c corresponding to the protrusions in a second surface of the nonwoven. The nonwoven has a Horizontal Bending Drop at 100 mm of at least 75 mm and a Z-Compliance Index of at least 50 mm3/N. The nonwoven can be used in absorbent articles such as diapers as an acquisition layer between the absorbent core and the backsheet and/or as a masking layer between an absorbent layer core and the backsheet.

Abstract: A nonwoven having the following properties: a Horizontal Bending Drop at 100 mm of at least 75 mm and a Z-Compliance Index of at least 50 mm3/N. The nonwoven is suitable for use in an absorbent article, in particular as acquisition layer between an absorbent core and the topsheet.

Abstract: Diapers, including infant diapers, training pants, and adult incontinence articles, and the like having a specific elastically stretchable transverse separator sheet for excrement separation and/or isolation away from the skin, and process for making the same.

Abstract: An diaper is disclosed. The diaper may have a topsheet, backsheet and absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet; a pair of longitudinal side edges, a pair of longitudinally extending barrier cuffs, and a transverse separator connecting the barrier cuffs in a crotch region of the diaper, between a front region and a back region. Each barrier cuff may have a proximal attached edge and a distal edge. The distal edge may be attached to the diaper at a distal edge attachment point in the front or rear region. The transverse separator may be attached to the barrier cuff at a separator attachment point. The separator attachment point may be located a first distance from the proximate longitudinal side edge and the distal edge attachment point may be located a second distance from the same longitudinal side edge; and the first distance may be greater than the second distance.

Abstract: Diapers, including infant diapers, training pants, and adult incontinence articles, and the like having a transverse separator sheet for excrement separation and/or isolation away from the skin with a specific design which has a reduced impact on the absorbency, comfort and fit properties of the diapers.

Abstract: Diapers, including infant diapers, training pants, and adult incontinence articles, and the like having a transverse separator sheet for excrement separation and/or isolation away from the skin with a specific design of attachment of the transverse separator sheet to the topsheet and to the elastic cuffs of the diapers.

Abstract: The invention relates to an infant or adult diaper. More particularly, the invention relates to an infant or adult diaper having a first longitudinally extending elastic cuff and a second longitudinally extending elastic cuff each have a distal edge, at least the crotch region of which is not attached to the diaper and forms a free flap.

Abstract: The invention involves methods and compositions of an immunostimulatory nucleic acid in combination with other therapeutic formulations such as oil-in-water emulsions. The combination of therapeutics are administered in various dosages or at various time schedules for the treatment of disorders such as disease and cancer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible hose line, in particular, a high-pressure hose line which is subjected to a pressurized forming process, preferably for variable levels of pressure. Said flexible hose line consists of several layers, at least one of which is configured as a reinforcing layer. The hose line is characterised by an inner layer (1) with a profile which can be elastically stressed in at least the longitudinal direction of the hose. Said inner layer is the only layer whose length can be modified.

Abstract: A flexible, very high pressure hose as a flexible conducting member in hydraulic systems. The wall of the hose contains filamentary load-carrying cords which are embedded in two or more layers. The load-carrying cords are combined to form a plurality of strips which cross one another or are braided with one another. The present invention deviates from the heretofore known symmetrical arrangement where the strips of a given layer have the same number of load-carrying cords in both directions, and instead provides an asymmetrical layer construction including strips which in one direction have a different number of load-carrying cords than do the strips which extend in the opposite direction. While the local resistance to pressure remains the same, the advantages of the present invention are distinct improvements, primarily in the flexibility and the service life of the novel hoses.
