Patent number: 10698906Abstract: An electronic method for generating group data indicative of the collective response of at least a subset of respondents to at least one portion of a time-varying stimulus the method comprising: receiving responses to the time-varying stimulus from respective ones of a plurality of respondent devices, each response including data indicative of a response of a respondent associated with the respective respondent device to the time-varying stimulus; filtering the responses to generate a filtered response data set that excludes responses outside of a timing tolerance relative to a portion of the time-varying stimulus to which the group data is intended to relate; and processing at least a subset of the filtered response data set to generate the group data.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Roy Morgan Research Pty.

Publication number: 20080233229Abstract: Method and apparatus for the production of containers are disclosed. A container blow molding element can concurrently produce a plurality of containers. Two adjacent containers are disposed a first distance apart. A container conveying element can receive the plurality of containers at predetermined container locations. The predetermined container locations corresponding to the two adjacent containers are disposed a second distance apart. A transition element can transfer the plurality of containers from the blow molding element to the container conveying element. The distance between the two adjacent containers is altered from the first distance to the second distance after the plurality of containers is removed from the blow molding element and before the plurality of containers is received by the container conveying element.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2007Publication date: September 25, 2008Inventors: Wayne Grant Leslie, Giovanni Battista De Amicis, Patrick John Healey

Patent number: 7120977Abstract: A process and apparatus for producing stabilized compressed tampons are disclosed. The process includes the steps of providing a compressed tampon pledget and forcing gas through the compressed tampon. In some embodiments, the process may occur in the presence of moisture. The moisture can come from either the fibers of the material that comprises the tampon pledget and/or from the humidified gas or steam that is introduced. The process may include the steps of heating and/or humidifying the gas introduced during the process. The gas may be forced through the compressed tampon pledget intermittently during the process.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2003Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Dale Francis Bittner, Tim Jensen, Lynne Cheryl Hannen, Wayne Grant Leslie, Robert Lawrence Prosise, Robert Clark Avery, Andrew Lloyd Bouthilet

Publication number: 20030233813Abstract: This invention relates to a process for making a wrapped tampon. A continuously moving wrapper material is provided with a longitudinal axis, width and a tear member. The wrapper material is maintained in a pre-determined rotational position. The wrapper material provided also has a pair of opposing longitudinal edges that are folded and sealed together to form a longitudinal seal. The wrapper material is cut to form a pair of opposing transverse edges. The transverse edges are to form a transverse seal having a width defined by a first end and a second end. A tampon is provided and is inserted into the wrapper material through the unsealed opposing transverse edges that are subsequently sealed. At the end of the process, when the wrapper is sealed the tear member extends into the transverse seal adjacent to the first end.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2002Publication date: December 25, 2003Inventors: Wayne Grant Leslie, Ralph Robert Emenaker, Paul Felix Fusco
