Abstract: A package of one or more absorbent articles is disclosed. The package includes a package material enclosing the one or more absorbent articles. The package material has natural fibers and forms a front panel, a back panel opposite the front panel, a first side panel, a second side panel opposite the first side panel, a top panel, and a bottom panel opposite the top panel. The panels define an interior compartment. The package material has a Basis Weight of between about 55 gsm and about 115 gsm, according to the Basis Weight Test Method. The package has a weakened region. The package is sealed such that the one or more absorbent articles are enclosed in the interior compartment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing a distributed database across multiple cloud provider systems. Database elements (e.g., primary, secondary, and/or read-only nodes) are distributed across multiple cloud provider systems. A provisioning component is configured to enable cross-cloud configuration options to specify the manner in which the clusters/replica set members are to be deployed across multiple cloud providers and/or geographical regions.

Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to identify and resolve user-based issues, architecture issues, and data model issues that are introduced into distributed database deployments. Even in the context of a pre-built distributed database system, “bad” user behavior can have huge impacts on database performance. Various embodiments provide for analysis and resolution of architecture issues, as well schema issues, and can be configured to identify and resolve such problems in the context of dynamic schema database systems. Unlike relational database counterparts, dynamic schema databases do not enforce static database architecture or defined schemas. In such environments, database data and database formatting can be mostly unconstrained. If used properly, this flexibility enables easy configuration and execution. However, when improperly designed, small flaws magnify in significance as the database grows.

Abstract: Various aspects provide for implementation of a cloud service for running, monitoring, and maintaining cloud distributed database deployments and in particular examples, provides cloud based services to run, monitor and maintain deployments of the known MongoDB database. Various embodiments provide services, interfaces, and manage provisioning of dedicated servers for the distributed database instances (e.g., MongoDB instances). Further aspects, including providing a database as a cloud service that eliminates the design challenges associated with many distributed database implementations, while allowing the client's input on configuration choices in building the database. In some implementations, clients can simply identity a number of database nodes, capability of the nodes, and within minutes have a fully functioning, scalable, replicated, and secure distributed database in the cloud.

Abstract: A dispenser capable of dispensing a fluid via a vertically-oriented piezo device comprises a reservoir in the form of a replaceable cartridge containing a fluid to be dispensed, a planar piezo element having front and rear surfaces and which in use is oriented with its plane vertical and which is drivable to vibrate and thereby dispense fluid from the front surface, and a pump to draw a predetermined amount, or dose, of fluid from the reservoir and to drive the dose of fluid at a predetermined above-atmospheric pressure to the rear surface of the piezo element for dispensing.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an auto-index system may be provided to determine one or more candidate indexes to be automatically created in a database system. The auto-index system may determine if one or more criteria associated with creating the one or more candidate indexes are met. In response to determining that the one or more criteria associated with creating the one or more candidate indexes are met, the auto-index system may automatically create the one or more candidate indexes, for example, by an automation agent. The one or more criteria may also be associated with respective performance metrics of the database system.
