Abstract: An absorbent article having a longitudinal axis extending in a longitudinal direction and a transversal axis extending in a transversal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The absorbent article comprises a fluid-permeable topsheet, a lotion on the topsheet having a lotion pattern covering a lotion pattern area, a fluid-impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet. The core wrap defines a core footprint in a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction and transversal direction. The ratio of the lotion pattern area relative to the area of the footprint of the absorbent core ranges from 5% to 25%.

Abstract: A method for evaluating the efficacy of a skin-cleansing composition comprises measuring an ATP level on a skin site after cleansing. A method for evaluating the condition of living skin comprises measuring an ATP level on a skin site. The ATP level may be monitored over time to determine a rate of change in the ATP level on the skin site.

Abstract: A brake assembly includes a mounting plate, pressure members disposed in a substantially coplanar manner relative to the mounting plate, and electric actuators mounted to the mounting plate. The electric actuators are configured to selectively move the pressure members relative to the mounting plate (i) from a non-braking position to a braking position in response to a first command, and (ii) from the braking position to the non-braking position in response to a second command. Such a brake assembly is well-suited for a variety of applications including vehicle brakes such as aircraft brakes.

Abstract: A method for etching at least partially through a transition metal-containing layer disposed above a substrate is disclosed. The transition metal-containing layer is disposed below an etch mask. The method includes providing a plasma processing system having a plasma processing chamber, and configuring the plasma processing chamber to etch the transition metal-containing layer. The plasma processing chamber configuring process includes configuring the plasma processing chamber to receive a source gas that includes HCl and Ar, and configuring a power supply associated with the plasma processing chamber to supply energy to strike a plasma from the source gas. The plasma processing chamber configuring process further includes configuring the plasma processing chamber to etch at least partially the transition metal-containing layer with the plasma.
