  • Publication number: 20130324956
    Abstract: An absorbent article comprises first and second substrates and one or more elastic elements disposed at least partially intermediate the substrates. The second substrate is attached to the first substrate and/or to portions of the elastic elements. The absorbent article comprises an adhesive having a first and second pattern of elements disposed on first substrate, and first and second texture zones. The first texture zone comprises a first portion of the substrates, a first portion of the elastic elements, and the first pattern of elements of the adhesive and forms a background pattern in the first portion of the substrates. The second texture zone comprises a second portion of the substrates, a second portion of the one or more elastic elements, and the second pattern of elements of the adhesive and forms a macro pattern in the second portion of the substrates.

  • Publication number: 20130306226
    Abstract: A method of making a laminate for an absorbent article is provided. The laminate comprises elastic elements disposed at least partially intermediate two substrates. The first substrate has a primary fiber bond pattern formed therein and comprising a plurality of primary fiber bonds. The method comprises forming densified regions in the first substrate. A perimeter of each of the densified regions is larger than a perimeter of each of the primary fiber bonds. The densified regions together form a pattern of densified regions in the first substrate. The method comprises adhesively attaching the elastic elements to the first substrate, joining the second substrate to the first substrate or to some of the elastic elements, and forming a plurality of rugosities in the first substrate by allowing the elastic elements to at least partially contract. The frequency and amplitude ranges of the rugosities result from the pattern of the densified regions.

  • Publication number: 20130310796
    Abstract: An absorbent article comprises a chassis having a belt portion extending therefrom. The belt portion comprises a side edge, a waist opening edge, a leg opening edge, first and second substrates engaged with each other, and elastic elements disposed intermediate the first substrate and the second substrate. The belt portion also comprises a first texture zone comprising a first portion of the substrates and the elastic strands and disposed adjacent to the side edge and the waist opening edge and a second texture zone comprising a second portion of the substrates and the elastic elements and disposed adjacent to the side edge and the leg opening edge. The first texture zone extends at least partially along a first lateral extent of the belt portion and the second texture zone extends at least partially along a second lateral extent of the belt portion.

  • Publication number: 20130281954
    Abstract: Pull-on disposable absorbent articles having a fit indicator are disclosed. Pull-on disposable articles having an extensible belt transversely disposed with respect to a chassis portion are disclosed. The belt portion of the pull-on article is provided with a fit indicator graphic. When the belt portion of the article is unstretched the fit indicator graphic has a first appearance. When the belt portion of the article is stretched to its design range for wear the fit indicator graphic has a second appearance. When the belt portion of the article is stretched beyond its design range for wear the fit indicator graphic has a third appearance. By confirming the configuration of the fit indicator graphic in the second appearance in wear, the proper fit of the disposable absorbent article may be verified. Use of fit indicator graphics in combination with reference graphics and in arrays of products are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8039940
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a gettering layer is deposited both on the side surfaces and the bottom surface of a semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip is then mounted on the board of a package so that a Schottky barrier is formed on the bottom surface. With this structure, metal ions that pass through the board of the package can be captured by the defect layer deposited on the side surfaces and/or the bottom surface of the semiconductor chip, and by the Schottky barrier.
