Abstract: A stool system for use in conjunction with a toilet having a bowl and a seat, the seat defining a seat plane and having a seat front edge apex, includes a freestanding stool including a base, the stool being reconfigurable between a use position and storage position, wherein the stool in the use position is disposable adjacent the bowl and substantially below the seat plane, and wherein the stool in the storage position is disposable substantially below the seat plane and substantially on a toilet side of a vertical plane tangential to the seat front edge apex.

Abstract: A toilet training seat includes a base having a platform and a support structure, the base including a cavity accessible through the platform. The seat also includes a waste receptacle including a bowl having a rim and a bowl diameter. The receptacle also includes a handle extending from the bowl at an attachment point to a distal end, the handle having a length, wherein the handle length is at least 1.5 times the bowl diameter, the waste receptacle and the base being configured such that the waste receptacle can be removably disposed on the base such that the bowl is at least partially within the cavity. The seat can also include a removable cover disposed over and at least partially enclosing the base and the waste receptacle.

Abstract: An absorbent article for personal wear includes inner and outer surfaces, an absorbent body disposed therebetween, and front waist, back waist, and crotch regions. The article also includes front and back side panels that are releasably attachable at a seam using an article fastening component and an article fastener landing zone to define a wear configuration of the absorbent article. The article also includes a finger tab attached to one of the front and back side panels, wherein the tab includes a tab fastening component, wherein a front or back side panel includes a tab landing zone, wherein the tab fastening component is fastened to the tab landing zone to form a tab connection when the article is in a wear configuration, and wherein the tab connection has lower peel and shear strengths per unit area than the peel and shear strengths per unit area of the seam.

Abstract: A process for providing feedforward control to control the feed rate of an elastic material. The process involves measuring the distance between registration marks on the elastic material prior to cut-off. These measurements are compared to a target cut length. The feed rate of a feed roll is adjusted, based on the target cut length and the distance between the registration marks, to maintain the cut length of the elastic material at the target cut length.
