Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) modeling systems and methods are described for automatically generating photorealistic, virtual 3D package and product models from 3D and two-dimensional (2D) imaging assets. The 3D modeling systems and methods include loading, into a memory with one or more processors, computer-aided design (CAD) component(s) and assembling, with an automatic imaging asset assembly script, the CAD component(s) to create a parametric-based CAD model. A polygonal model of a real-world product or product package is generated based on the parametric-based CAD model. Digital surface finish artifact(s) of a virtual material library, as selected from the 2D imaging assets, are applied to the polygonal model. A virtual 3D model is generated based on the polygonal model and a UV coordinate mapping corresponding to a virtual product label, and rendered, via a graphical display, as a photorealistic image representing the real-world product or product package.

Abstract: A cleaning article defining an XY plane and a Z direction perpendicular to the plane. The cleaning article has discrete tufts of tow fibers bonded to a carrier sheet by primary bonds. The discrete tufts have secondary bond lines external to the tufts. The secondary bond lines interrupt the Z-direction thickness of the tufts, to provide channels for improved collection and retention of debris from a target surface. The tufts are created by slits between the primary bonds and secondary bonds, which yield plural tuft sizes. The slits may be transversely unequally spaced between adjacent bonds.
Abstract: A nonwoven web for an absorbent article is provided. The absorbent article comprises the nonwoven web as a core wrap. A method for producing the absorbent article is also provided. The nonwoven web comprises a first nonwoven layer comprising filament fibers, a second nonwoven layer comprising filaments fibers, a third nonwoven layer comprising staple fibers disposed between the first and second nonwoven layers. A total basis weight of the first and second nonwoven layers is not less than about 10 gsm. The third nonwoven layer has a basis weight no greater than about 4 gsm. The nonwoven web comprises pores, wherein greater than about 80% of the pores have a pore size equal to or smaller than about 40 ?m, and wherein less than about 10% of the pores have a pore size equal to or greater than about 45 ?m.
