Abstract: A disposable, non-refillable container for holding and gravity-fed dispensing folded articles is disclosed. The container holds multiple stacks or articles. The container is non-permanently affixed to a surface with a mount and the container dispenses an individual stack of articles from an individual dispensing opening when that stack is configured substantially above the dispensing opening. To dispense another stack of articles within the container, the container is reconfigured such that the next stack of articles is substantially above the dispensing opening. The container may also include an area of the container adapted for use as a waste receptacle.

Abstract: A multi-headed ink-jet system adapted to eject encapsulated liquids is provided, which includes a plurality of concentric piezoelectric members. Each concentric piezoelectric member has a chamber configured to carry a liquid therethrough, and each concentric piezoelectric member is in liquid communication with an exit port provided in a concentric orifice. When each concentric piezoelectric member is actuated, a liquid contained in its chamber is moved near or through the concentric orifice. The plurality of concentric piezoelectric members cooperate to control the ejection of liquids through the concentric orifice to permit one liquid to be encapsulated by another liquid to form an encapsulated droplet. A method of operating a multi-headed ink-jet system adapted to eject encapsulated liquids.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making a soft, strong cellulosic tissue sheet comprising the steps of forming a web of cellulosic fibers on a forming wire, thereafter treating the exposed surface of the web with a treatment composition comprising a chemical debonding agent, subjecting the opposing surface of the web to vacuum suction whereby the chemical debonding agent is distributed substantially through the entire thickness of the web, and through-air drying the web. The method allows grade changes to be made much more rapidly and with less waste than when adding debonder at the wet end of the paper making process.

Abstract: A shipping carton adapted to hold sheet products in packages is provided. The shipping carton includes a carton having an internal compartment configured to hold packages of sheet products. The carton has a first pull tab and a second pull tab. A tear strip is connected to the first pull tab and it extends about an inner surface of an inner perimeter of the carton to connect to the second pull tab. The tear strip is configured such that when a user pulls as least one of the first and second pull tabs, the carton is separated into two separate containers. A shipping assembly and a method of using a shipping carton are also provided.

Abstract: A method and system of providing feedback to personnel performing a given procedure is provided. The system and methodology comprises at least one sensor carried by each piece of required equipment. The sensor is configured to contain information to identify the piece of equipment in which it is configured. In addition, at least one sensor is carried by an individual or positioned in an individual's environment. The sensor is configured to detect a hazardous change. Further, at least one other sensor is configured to detect at least one characteristic of an individual's physiological condition. The sensor is positioned adjacent an individual during a procedure. The individual desirably carries a scanner to permit communication with sensors. The scanner is configured to send and receive signals from the sensors.

Abstract: A nested rolled paper product is shown in which raised and depressed areas are formed in a sheet. The depressed areas may comprise square shapes, rounded shapes or other geometric shapes that are capable of aligning or nesting in registration when the sheet is rolled to form a reduced diameter rolled product. A high loft through air drying fabric is employed to imprint a high caliper pattern into the sheet in such a way as to nest raised portions, resulting in a more compact product having a minimized roll diameter. Grooves or channels in the sheet are capable of aligning as the sheet is rolled. The resulting rolled product may be toilet tissue, paper towels, or other similar paper products. The final rolled product achieves a minimum roll diameter for a fixed roll length.
