Patent number: 8012495Abstract: A paper towel includes: (a) a cellulosic towel web; and (b) a lotion emulsion disposed on the towel web. The lotion emulsion is substantially liquid at room temperature and includes a polar emollient and a non-polar emollient as well as a surfactant composition comprising a nonionic surfactant; wherein the emollients and surfactant composition are selected such that the lotion emulsion is immobilized on the towel web in a semi-solid or solid state and the lotion emulsion is capable of forming an aqueous gel upon contact with water. Preferably, the lotion emulsion is a waterless micro-emulsion which is also capable of forming an aqueous micro-emulsion with water.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2005Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LPInventors: Phuong V. Luu, David W. White, Jacob H. Propp, Brian J. Schuh

Patent number: 7981234Abstract: Easy starting rolls of perforated tissue product which have a reduced tendency to ply separate are formed with an adhesively secured doubled over tail tab folded against the roll. The strength and location of the bonds are controlled by controlling the penetration of the adhesive into the tissue. The dry tensile strength of the projecting folded over tail tab exceeds 400 g/in and the caliper thereof exceeds one mil. The adhesive bonds are spaced away from lines of perforation joining sheets in the initial sheets of the roll.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2010Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LPInventors: Teresa M. Redmann, Richard D. Huss, Brian J. Schuh, Terry P. Witkowski

Patent number: 7739427Abstract: An apparatus and method for dynamically allocating memory between inbound and outbound paths of a networking protocol handler so as to optimize the ratio of a given amount of memory between the inbound and outbound buffers is presented. Dedicated but sharable buffer memory is provided for both the inbound and outbound processors of a computer network. Buffer memory is managed so as to dynamically alter what portion of memory is used to receive and store incoming data packets or to transmit outgoing data packets. Use of the present invention reduces throttling of data rate transmissions and other memory access bottlenecks associated with conventional fixed-memory network systems.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2008Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark R. Bilak, Robert M. Bunce, Steven C. Parker, Brian J. Schuh
