Abstract: A method of producing absorbent articles, comprising: suspending particles in a gas carrier to form suspended particles; creating a series of pulses from the suspended particles, wherein each pulse in the series of pulses is created by: accumulating at least some of the suspended particles in a pulsing chamber to form accumulated particles on a rotary separator, and releasing at least some of the accumulated particles by rotating the rotary separator to create each pulse; and suctioning each pulse from the series of pulses onto a forming surface for the absorbent articles.

Abstract: A method of producing an absorbent article, including: metering particles at a predetermined flow rate to form a metered particle stream; carrying the metered particle stream in a carrier flow to form a carried particle stream; pulsing the carried particle stream to form a pulsed particle stream; and transferring a pulse from the pulsed particle stream onto a forming surface of the absorbent article.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article, such as a diaper. The disposable absorbent article has a first region juxtaposed with the front of the wearer and a second region juxtaposed with the back of the wearer. The disposable absorbent article includes a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet joined to the topsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet. Since the first region is juxtaposed with the front of the wearer it should be superior in the handling of urine while the second region which is juxtaposed with the back of the wearer should be superior in the handling of low-viscosity fecal material. The first region has a PACORM value of less than 120 mg and the second region has a trans-topsheet capacity of at least 0.2 grams per square inch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to absorbent articles for retaining body fluids such as urine, menses, or fecal material. In particular, the absorbent article of the present invention comprises a liquid handling member that collapses at a pressure between 2756 Pascal (0.4 psi) and 3447 (0.5 psi) in order to reduce the likelihood of causing skin marking.

Abstract: The present invention provides an absorbent article which combines a hydrophobic topsheet with a good liquid acquisition performance. The absorbent article of the present invention comprises a topsheet, a backsheet, a liquid storage structure intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet, and a liquid handling structure intermediate the topsheet and the liquid storage structure. The topsheet of the present invention has a liquid retention of less than 150 mg for a test liquid having a surface tension of 33 mN/m. The liquid handling structure of the present invention has a basis weight to uncompressed caliper ratio of less than 100 grams per square meter per millimeter. The topsheet of the present invention may comprise a fiber coating such as fluoropolymers in order to lower the contact angle of the topsheet.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article sustaining low vapor phase moisture in the space as enclosed between and the wearer in use, such as can be evaluate by measuring relative humidity on a laboratory mannequin, such can be achieved by combining high performance, low rewet absorbent cores with breathable backsheet materials.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of and an apparatus for creating a pulsed stream of particles in a carrier means, such as air. A pre-metered stream of particles is accumulated in a pulsing chamber of a pulsing means by interrupting the stream of particles by a separator means, which interrupts the flow for a certain portion of the pulse period. The accumulated particles are then removed from the pulsing means by suction, such as by using an ejector.

Abstract: The present invention provides a disposable absorbent article which combines acquisition performance for low viscosity liquids such as urine with acquisition performance for high viscosity-liquids such as faeces in its front region as well as in its back region. The topsheet wetness of the disposable absorbent article of the present invention is less than 300 mg. The front region storage under pressure of the absorbent article of the present invention is more than 800 grams per square meter.
