Publication number: 20210386596Abstract: A packaged feminine care absorbent article includes an absorbent article with an absorbent structure and a shell. The absorbent structure is configured for disposition adjacent a female wearer's vaginal region to absorb bodily fluids discharged by the wearer. The shell is configured for supporting the absorbent structure at the vaginal region. The shell has a liquid-impermeable layer, a body-facing surface, and a garment-facing surface. The body-facing surface has an adhesive thereon for adhering the shell directly to the wearer and the absorbent structure is attached directly to the garment-facing surface of the shell. The absorbent article is configurable between a before use packaged configuration and a use configuration. The absorbent structure is folded longitudinally about at least two transverse fold lines and a portion of the shell overlies a portion of the absorbent structure in the packaged configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Melissa Jean Dennis, Thomas Andrew Lutzow, Gerhard A. Foelsche, Luke Delehanty Hagan, Margaux Boyaval, Adrienne Rae Loyd

Patent number: 6642711Abstract: A differential pulse transformer having a drive coil (10a) and differential sense coils (10b) are disposed on a planar surface with a target (10e, 10f) movable over the sense coils to cause an imbalance in magnetic field when a large di/dt pulse is generated in the drive coil. A detection circuit senses the imbalance and provides a digital output accurately identifying the position of the target. Coil and target embodiments include relatively small secondary coils and relatively long targets (10b, 10e/10f; 12b, 12e/12f and 14b) and relatively large secondary coils and short targets (16b, 16c; 18b, 18c; 20b and 22b).Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2002Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Keith W.
