Abstract: This invention is an absorbent article and more particularly to an improved absorbent device that is worn in body clefts, in particular interlabially by female wearers for catamenial purposes, incontinence protection, or both and in the anal crease for light faecal incontinence or in the context of haemorrhoids, or underarm sweat-pads.

Abstract: Skin care compositions may comprise from about 0.001% to about 0.1% by weight of hexamidine and either or both of (i) from about 0.001% to about 10% by weight of zinc oxide, and/or (ii) from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of niacinamide.

Abstract: A method of fabricating glass sheets (13) is provided in which the sheets are cut from a glass ribbon (15) composed of a glass having a glass transition temperature range (GTTR). The ribbon (15) is formed by a drawing process in which edge rollers (27a,27b) contact the glass ribbon (15) at a location along the length of the ribbon where the temperature along the center line (17) of the ribbon (15) is above the GTTR. The edge rollers (27a,27b) locally cool the ribbon (15), and the cooling produces a sine wave type buckling (S-warp) along the edges of the glass sheets (13). The S-warp is reduced or eliminated by heating the bead portions (21a, 21b) of the ribbon (15) and/or portions of the ribbon (the S-warp portions 25a and 25b) which are located next to the bead portions (21a, 21b) and/or by cooling the center portion of the ribbon (15) at least one location along the length of the ribbon (15) where the temperature at the ribbon's center line (17) is within the GTTR.

Abstract: Techniques for tracing the real-time operation of software for the purposes of testing, debugging, or performance analysis are disclosed. Diagnostic instrumentation for generating records containing details of software operation is incorporated in the software by inserting calls to diverse macros or inline functions. Each macro takes an argument specifying both a subsystem and a category of instrumentation within the subsystem. Based on the specified subsystem and category, the instrumentation can be included or excluded from the compiled object code and, if included, can be dynamically enabled at run-time. Disabled instrumentation does not result in a function call, but only a single, inline “if,” thereby reducing overhead. One macro accepts both software parameters and a custom format specifier describing how the parameters should be displayed. However, the parameters are not formatted during logging, nor is the format specifier included in the record. Instead, the formatting is performed when displayed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sanitary napkin for wearing adjacent the pudendal region, the sanitary napkin having a skin care composition applied thereon, wherein the sanitary napkin has a caliper less than about 5.0 mm. The skin care composition can have from about 0.001% to about 0.1% by weight of hexamidine, from about 0.001% to about 10% by weight of zinc oxide, from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of niacinamide, and a carrier.
