Abstract: A rubber composition, usable for the manufacture of tires, is based on at least one diene elastomer, reinforcing filler, vulcanization system and, as anti-reversion agent, a citraconimidomaleimide formula (R=hydrocarbon radical): The composition may be used for the manufacture of a finished article or a semi-finished product made of rubber intended for a ground contact system of an automobile, in particular of a tire.

Abstract: A cable having twisted metallic conductors for use in digital systems. Twisted metallic conductor cable with high electrical performance for use in digital systems formed by a bundled array of insulated metallic conductors of thermoplastic material sheathed in a protective banding and by a metallic shielding and finally by a protective cover. The cable uses simultaneously a series of pitches having a maximum and minimum value between 10 and 80 mm and a conductor insulation with a thickness from 2.0 to 2.2 times the conductor diameter for a dielectric constant of 1.87. The combination of the special sequence of pitches and an adequate insulation thickness provides a decrease in attenuation and an improvement concerning the problem of cross talk in digital data transmission.

Abstract: A generally thin, flexible sanitary napkin capable of absorbing medium to high menstrual flows, and having a stiffened center is provided. In one embodiment, the sanitary napkin has a longitudinal central region disposed along the length of at least a portion of the longitudinal centerline, and longitudinal side regions are disposed outboard of the longitudinal central region. The longitudinal central region of the sanitary napkin has a flexure-resistance that is greater than that of the longitudinal side regions. The embodiment of the sanitary napkin described above easily forms around the curvature of the wearer's labia majora by cupping and surrounding the exterior of the labia majora. The longitudinal central region of the sanitary napkin forms the bottom of a cup-like trough under the wearer's labia majora, and the longitudinal side regions are sufficently flexible that they are able to form the sides of the trough structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a disposable hygienic absorbent article having a shape that has a compulsory loss of material reduced to zero associated with conventional manufacturing processes.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an absorbent core and to the process of making the absorbent core. The process involves no loss of material during manufacturing of absorbent core. The absorbent core has an anatomic format enabling a comfortable use with high absorption power, which may be used in various disposable absorbent products for urinary incontinence, disposable diapers or sanitary napkin.

Abstract: An interactive system for providing information and optimizing the service in the health areas and those related thereto able to organize and provide, in an interactive way, information and instructional matters of interest to users (patients/clients) (5) on subjects concerning the health areas and those related thereto, said information being provided by an interactive software (3) (the registration application therefor having already been filed by the inventor of said system himself), showing narrated structured texts, explanatory videos and photographs related to several pathologies, its treatments, surgeries and the like, in a screen (2), as well as the introduction of the professional on duty (6) of the medical area or another area related thereto, his/her resume, a blank space for the most frequent doubts, as well as a space for advertising by advertisers (12) registered in the system, said software (3) being associated to an equipment (1) to be installed in any environment that is easily accessed by th

Abstract: Process and apparatus for producing a fibrous web in an apparatus that includes at least one nip formed between a smooth roll and at least one opposing element, a felt and an embossing belt. The process includes guiding the fibrous web and the felt through the at least one press nip formed between the smooth roll and the at least one opposing element, and passing the fiber web, in an unsupported manner, over a free draw from the smooth roll onto an embossing belt. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: A split load cradle for conveyor belts comprised of two pipes (1 and 2) is disclosed. The longer pipe (1) incorporates vertical arms (3, 4 and 5) having an upper ends obliquely facing each other wherein the end rolls (11) of the load cradle (10) are pivoted. Between the shorter arm (5) and the shorter arm (4) an intermediary roll (12) is also pivoted between. The second shorter pipe (2) is just like the first longer pipe (1). Both longer and shorter pipes (1 and 2) are longitudinally split in their lower part by a narrow slot (6) and fit said pipes around and axially into another pipe (7) having a lower diameter. This arrangement is attached to the structure (8) of the conveyor belt (T).
