Abstract: A method for forming an elastomeric laminate includes the steps of providing a first coverstock material; SELF'ing the first coverstock material to create a pre-SELFed coverstock layer having a primary activation pattern comprising SELF-specific land areas; providing an elastomeric layer; and joining the elastomeric layer to the pre-SELFed layer at zero relative strain, such that the elastomeric layer and pre-SELFed coverstock layer are joined at one or more bonding sites.

Abstract: An elastomeric laminate is extensible in a first direction and has a first laminate surface; a second laminate surface substantially opposite the first laminate surface; and a laminate thickness, T, extending between the first and second laminate surfaces. A pre-SELFed coverstock layer forms the first laminate surface. The pre-SELF coverstock layer has a primary activation pattern, wherein the primary activation pattern includes SELF-specific land areas that extend in the first direction and one or more activation thicknesses. Each activation thickness is less than the laminate thickness, T. The elastomeric laminate also has an elastomeric layer joined to the pre-SELFed coverstock layer. The elastomeric layer forms the second laminate surface. The elastomeric laminate may be a zero strain laminate, a gathered laminate, or a hybrid gathered laminate.

The method includes applying a frangible bonding agent to a first portion of the first surface of the fastening system; folding the fastening system such that the frangible bonding agent contacts a second portion of the first surface of the fastening system; and allowing the frangible bonding agent to cool at a temperature of less than 60° C.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for capturing and applying changes to a data structure made by one or more processing nodes. The method includes providing a data structure including one or more elements (200-205), maintaining a linked record of changes (200a-200c, 201a-201c, 205a-205b) to each element (200-205) made by a processing node. A new value of an element (200-205) is linked to the previous value. A record (250) of the sequence of changes to the elements (200-205) is also maintained. In one embodiment, the linked record of changes (200a-200c, 201a-201c, 205a-205b) is a push down stack.

Abstract: Topical sanitizers including alcohol-based gels, alcohol-based foams, alcohol-free foams, liquid soaps, alcohol-based wipes, and alcohol-based sprays include avenanthramides, which is an active component of oats that is beneficial to the skin. The concentration of avenanthramides can be substantially less when considering the use profile of the person using the sanitizers. Many healthcare workers sanitize their hands dozens of times a day. An effective dose of avenanthramides can be delivered to the skin even when the concentration in avenanthramides is relatively low due to the repeated application of the sanitizers during the day. In addition, a lower concentration of avenanthramides may be used to maintain healthy skin compared to a higher concentration that may be used to repair damaged skin. Minimum concentrations of avenanthramides in one or more topical sanitizers can be determined according to the use profile and the target amount of avenanthramides to deliver via the topical sanitizers.

Abstract: Content files are isolated in a sandbox as a content isolation environment formed by a secondary user account. Printing is controlled by an agent via a staging file of a secure file type. The agent intercepts print requests (e.g. print start requests and print end requests) in a printing sub-system of an operating system in order to coordinate and securely control printing of the untrusted content file via the intermediate staging file.
