Abstract: Various embodiments of a grooved substrate having electrical conductors and an electro optical material are disclosed.

Abstract: One embodiment of a method of making an electronic device includes forming on a substrate surface a first layer having a peak-valley-peak profile, and forming a second layer on the first layer by use of a target positioned along a line-of-sight that excludes a floor of the valley such that the second layer is not formed on the floor of said peak-valley-peak profile.

Abstract: Disposable personal care products, such as diapers, feminine care products and adult incontinence products, are provided. More specifically, disposable personal care products having improved absorbent core integrity and core absorbency are provided. These products eliminate the need for costly adhesives. A method for making the products is also provided. The method includes forming a plurality of localized compressions by ultrasonically compressing the natural fiber core between, although not necessarily adjacent to, at least one upper and at least one underlying fusible material. The periphery of the article is then bonded by conventional means, such as adhesives, crimping or fusing. This process reduces costs associated with the manufacturing of such articles by eliminating or reducing the amount of adhesives in the final product, and by eliminating costly and intermittent bonding procedures.

Abstract: A polysiloxane adhesive composition that is useful in attaching products to human skin. A disposable absorbent product may be prepared that includes the polysiloxane adhesive composition and that may be adhered directly to human skin and peeled off after use with little or no pain to the wearer. In one embodiment, the polysiloxane adhesive composition exhibits a shear storage modulus value, as measured at about 20.degree. C. and at about 10 radians per second, of less than about 1.times.10.sup.5 dynes per square centimeter; a hardness value of less than about 5 durometer units (Shore 00), a tan delta value, as measured at about 20.degree. C. and at a frequency of about 10 radians per second, of between about 0.4 to about 2.0; and a maximum peel strength value of between about 35 to about 900 grams of force per 13 millimeters of width, as measured at a peel rate range of 0 to about 5000 millimeters per minute.
