Abstract: Layered nonwoven textile containing a first layer (T) of filaments, which contains endless filaments containing a first carrier polymer (A1) and a first binding polymer (B1), which forms at least a part of surface of said endless filaments and which has a melting temperature at least 5° C. lower than the first carrier polymer (A1), wherein the first layer (T) of filaments contains bonding points in a spaced arrangement, wherein the bonding points interconnect the filaments and are formed by the first binding polymer (B1), a second layer (M) of filaments, which contains filaments containing a carrier material, the stiffness of which is lower than the stiffness of the first carrier polymer (A1), and a second binding polymer (B2), which has a melting temperature at least 5° C., preferably at least 10° C.

Abstract: An abrasive wipe includes a spunbond layer that forms a first outer surface of the wipe, a meltblown layer positioned over the spunbond layer so as to form an inner layer of the wipe and an abrasive layer positioned over the meltblown layer so as to form a second outer surface of the wipe. The spunbond layer, the meltblown layer and the abrasive layer are bonded together in a single bonding step, and, in an exemplary embodiment, the abrasive wipe has an MD tensile strength of at least 700 g/cm and a CD tensile strength of at least 500 g/cm.

Abstract: A nonwoven web made up of continuous fibers that include a polymer component, the web being bonded by a bond pattern including spaced apart closed figures arranged in a repeating pattern, the web having an abrasion rating of 3 or higher and an average HOM of less than 6 grams.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a nonwoven fabric made from a composite of nonwoven and pulp where the nonwoven has a high loft derived from a heat set three-dimensional relief structure and/or hydroengorged fiber structure. A nonwoven web is hydraulically treated to create a hydroengorged material having an increased loft. Alternatively a nonwoven web is treated to have a heat set three-dimensional relief structure. The treated web is then hydroentangled with pulp to form a cotendered nonwoven/pulp composite fabric.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for determining whether a packet received in an input/output (I/O) circuit of a node is destined for the node and if so, providing the packet to an egress queue of the I/O circuit and determining whether one or more packets are present in an ingress queue of the I/O circuit and if so, providing a selected packet to a first or second output register according to a global schedule that is independent of traffic flow. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
