Abstract: A pant-type absorbent article including an outer cover being disposed on a garment facing side of the absorbent article, the article having a front portion, a back portion and a crotch portion therebetween. The outer cover includes a nonwoven fibrous material on a garment-facing side thereof and a disposal tape including a tape adhesive zone is permanently attached at the tape adhesive zone to the outer cover in an attachment zone on the nonwoven fibrous material of the outer cover in the back portion of the article. The disposal tape has a folded pre-disposal configuration and an unfolded disposal configuration. The outer cover attachment zone is constituted by a modified portion of the nonwoven fibrous material, wherein a bond strength between the tape adhesive zone and the modified attachment zone is greater than a bond strength between the tape adhesive zone and a non-modified portion of the nonwoven fibrous material.

Abstract: Various embodiments of an integrated circuit module and a method of forming such module are disclosed. The module includes a first die having an active substrate, an integrated circuit disposed on a first major surface of the active substrate, and a cavity disposed in a second major surface of the active substrate. The module also includes a second die having a first major surface, a second major surface, and a conductive pad disposed on the second major surface. The second die is disposed at least partially within the cavity of the first die such that the first major surface of the second die faces the cavity of the first die.

Abstract: A wearable disposable absorbent article includes a front panel, a back panel, and a crotch panel bridging and at least partially overlapping the front and back panels. A backsheet of the crotch panel has a laminate structure including a liquid barrier sheet and a nonwoven layer arranged on top of each other. The liquid barrier sheet extends over the entire length of the crotch panel and further over at least a portion of each of the front and back panels. The nonwoven layer extends at least over the entire length of the crotch panel but not over a length of more than 40 mm over each of the front and back panels. The width of the nonwoven layer is smaller than the width of the liquid barrier sheet.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and device for evaluating a wooden board with an elongated direction. Data indicating fiber orientation over the surface of the board is acquired and for a number of board sub-portions a nominal local modulus of elasticity, MOE, is determined based on the fiber orientation data and a nominal material parameter. A nominal global MOE in the elongated direction for the wooden board as a whole is generated and compared with a secondary global MOE. Based on the fiber orientation data and this comparison an estimated local modulus of elasticity, MOE, in said elongated direction is generated for a number of board sub-portions. This data may be used e.g. for reliable strength grading of wooden boards.

Abstract: An absorbent article, such as an incontinence shield, diaper, pant-diaper, belt diaper or the like, includes a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core placed therebetween. The absorbent core has two longitudinal edges, and a front and a rear transverse edge, wherein the rear transverse edge possesses a recess with at least one pair of opposing edges. The recess forms a pocket for receiving and storing faeces, wherein the pocket's extension is defined by the edges of the recess. The article provides a simple, practical and cheap solution for handling of faeces without obviously compromising the liquid absorption properties.

Abstract: An absorbent prefastened product in the form of a disposable pants diaper is provided with a side closure arrangement on each side. The side closure includes front and rear side flaps having elastic portions where an inner surface of a rear side flap is overlapped and welded to an outer surface of a front side flap. Each side flap is also provided with one part of a releasable fastening system located such that the weld is located on at least one of the elastic portions and such that it lies inward of the releasable fastening system in the prefastened state. A method of forming the absorbent product is also provided, in which an overlapped attachment is formed by joining front and rear side flap members together and attaching the side flap members to an absorbent chassis member.

Abstract: An absorbent article having an absorbent core and a cover enclosing the absorbent core. The absorbent core is provided with at least two slits or grooves diverging from a crotch region of the absorbent core in a direction towards one transverse edge of the absorbent core and terminating inside the respective longitudinal edge as well as the respective transverse edge of the absorbent core. These slits or grooves form folding guides along which the article can be formed into a shape having a narrow crotch width.

Abstract: Starting from an elastic material web and an absorbent product web, the method includes removing a first material piece from the elastic material web to provide a second material piece with an aperture and applying the first piece to a first portion of the absorbent product web. The second piece is supplied to a second application station and a section of the second piece is stretched and applied to a second portion of the absorbent product web. In this way an absorbent product with elastic waist portions is manufactured efficiently and with a minimum of waste.
