Abstract: Absorbent articles that include elastics in multiple layers are disclosed herein.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatuses for manufacturing absorbent articles, wherein discrete zones of protrusions may be formed on a substrate. In some configurations, the protrusions may be formed as hooks. When forming the discrete zones of protrusions, localized speed variances may be imparted to the advancing substrate to ensure the adequate time to form the protrusions is provided. As such, protrusions may be formed on portions of the substrate that have been temporarily stopped or slowed to relatively slow speeds. The substrates with zones of protrusions may then be incorporated into products, such as assembled absorbent articles, so as to place the protrusions in desired positions on the absorbent articles. As such, the methods and apparatuses herein allow for the use of hook forming techniques on substrates in article manufacturing processes that provide flexibility in such configurations without sacrificing desired manufacturing speeds.

Abstract: Environmental imaging and graphical mapping systems and methods are disclosed herein for tracking cleaning activity in a physical environment is disclosed. A sensor captures environmental image(s) depicting at least a portion of a target area in the physical environment. A graphical mapping of the target area is generated. The graphical mapping region(s) define the target area. A position value is detected that corresponds to a physical position of a cleaning implement within the target area. The graphical mapping is updated to indicate that a region has a clean status. A graphical user interface (GUI) displays a graphical mapping of the target area that visually indicates that the region has the clean status.

Abstract: A disposable diaper product useful for collecting a urine sample from an infant is disclosed. In one example the product may have a liquid control structure overlying a liquid impermeable backsheet, with a plan surface area defining a volume coextensive therewith, wherein a portion of the volume defined by at least 50 percent of the plan surface area contains no more than 50 percent by weight absorbent material. In another example the product may have a liquid control structure overlying a liquid impermeable backsheet, and have an average Liquid Release Ratio of at least 3 percent. A method for collecting a urine sample from an infant is also disclosed, in which a diaper is used for collection.
