Abstract: A computer system may include a processor, at least one memory coupled to the processor and having a plurality of scattered memory locations each having a pointer associated therewith, and a receiver interface circuit coupled to the at least one memory. The receiver interface circuit may include a scatter pointer queue for storing available pointers corresponding to available scattered memory locations. The scatter pointer queue may also store unavailable pointers corresponding to unavailable scattered memory locations. The receiver interface circuit may also include a receiver for receiving the data and writing the received data to the available scattered memory locations based upon the available pointers in the scatter pointer queue.

Abstract: A targeted elastic laminate material is provided having at least one low tension zone with first filaments having a first basis weight and at least one high tension zone having second filaments with a second basis weight greater than the first basis weight. The second basis weight is greater due to increased average thickness of the second filaments and/or increased frequency of second filaments relative to the first filaments. Methods and modifications of those methods are provided to produce a targeted elastic laminate material according to the preferred embodiments of this invention.

Abstract: A disposable garment includes a chassis defining openings for the legs and waist of a wearer and side panels. The side panels include a targeted elastic material including zones of high and low elastic tension in the same material, integrated during formation of the material. The targeted elastic material is positioned so that at least one high tension zone is aligned with the waist opening, thereby functioning as an elastic band without requiring a separately manufactured, attached elastic band. A spacer zone, comprising a low tension zone or a no tension zone, is positioned between the at least one high tension zone, which is aligned with the waist opening, and the waist end edge of the side panel.

Abstract: A targeted elastic laminate material having different zones of tension across a width of a material roll and methods for making the same. At least two polymers or polymer blends having different set properties are used to produce varying tension zones across the material. The targeted elastic laminate material has elastic properties that provide improved fit characteristics to disposable personal care products, while maintaining a flat roll profile that allows the material to be easily processed at a high speed.

Abstract: A disposable garment includes a chassis defining one or more openings for the legs, arms, waist or the like on a wearer. At least a portion of the chassis includes a targeted elastic material including zones of high and low elastic tension in the same material, integrated during formation of the material. The targeted elastic material is positioned so that at least one high tension zone is aligned with at least one garment opening, thereby functioning as an elastic band without requiring a separately manufactured, attached elastic band.
