  • Publication number: 20170368443
    Abstract: A fencing scoring system may include a controller configured to output a signal indicative of a hit. The output signal may be in response to counts of edges of one or more oscillating signals having a variable frequency deviating from a threshold over a period. The counts may be of edges that are rising. The counts may be of edges that are falling. The counts may be of edges that are rising and falling. The frequency may be based on a capacitance of a circuit. A portion of the capacitance may be from a fencing equipment component. The equipment component may be a lamé. The equipment component may be a weapon.

  • Publication number: 20070049888
    Abstract: An absorbent core comprises a multi-microlayer film having a plurality of coextruded microlayers that can perform the multiple functions of acquisition, retention and distribution of fluids. The multi-microlayer films may be formed in a coextrusion process. Each microlayer is manufactured from either a high-recovery polymer or a low-recovery polymer and may be in a substantially alternating configuration within the film. A disruptive force, such as a stretching force, can be applied to at least one portion of the multi-microlayer film to partially delaminate the low-recovery microlayer from the high-recovery microlayer to form corrugations in that portion. The multi-microlayer film can be apertured and additives may be included in either polymer layer.

  • Publication number: 20060149200
    Abstract: A multilayer film includes a plastic layer and an elastomeric layer. The plastic layer can contain a co-polyester of terepthalic acid, adipic acid and butanediol, and the elastomeric layer can contain a polyurethane elastomer. The plastic layer and/or the elastomeric layer can contain filler particles, and may be present as a bilayer laminate. The plastic layer and a filled elastomeric layer can also be combined with an unfilled elastomeric layer to form a tri-layer laminate. The multilayer films can provide breathable films with improved degradability, stretchability and recoverability, and tactile feel.

  • Publication number: 20060149199
    Abstract: A multilayer film includes a plastic layer and an elastomeric layer. The plastic layer and/or the elastomeric layer can contain filler particles, and may be present as a well bonded bilayer laminate. The plastic layer and a filled elastomeric layer can also be combined with an unfilled elastomeric layer to form a tri-layer laminate. The film has an average roughness of about 500 to about 1,000 nanometers. The multilayer films can provide breathable films with improved degradability, stretchability and recoverability, and tactile feel.
