Patent number: 11931233Abstract: An absorbent article includes a first waist region, a second waist region, and a crotch region disposed between the first and second waist regions; and a chassis having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet. The article also includes a side panel having an ultrasonically bonded, gathered laminate. The laminate has an elastomeric layer and a substrate and is joined to the chassis at a chassis attachment bond and positioned in one of the first or second waist regions. The ultrasonically bonded, gathered laminate also includes an ear structural feature comprising a surface modification to the substrate and comprising at least one of the following: embossing, apertures, perforations, slits, melted material or coatings, compressed material, secondary bonds that are disposed apart from a chassis attachment bond, plastic deformation, and folds.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Sally Lin Kilbacak, Donald Carroll Roe, Jeromy Thomas Raycheck, Uwe Schneider, Michael Devin Long, Michael Brian Quade, Jason Edward Naylor, Jeffry Rosiak, Stephen Joseph Lange, Urmish Popatlal Dalal, Christopher Krasen, Todd Douglas Lenser

Publication number: 20240000624Abstract: The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles comprise a first belt and a second belt with frangible pathways. An accessibility opening may also be positioned in the first and/or second belt, and a fastener component may be connected with the belt adjacent the accessibility opening. Such frangible pathway configurations provide a feature that allows an elastic belt of a diaper pant to be relatively easily torn along the frangible pathway when removing the diaper pant from a wearer, and the fastener component may provide a feature that helps maintain a used diaper pant in a disposal configuration. An absorbent article may also comprise opening facilitation features, such as opening operational indicia and opening mechanical aids, and combinations thereof. Such opening facilitation features may help a user to successfully determine the location and/or function of the fastener component and frangible pathway and/or successfully complete pant opening operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Jeromy Thomas RAYCHECK, Keith Richard WILLHAUS, Jeffry ROSIAK, Jason Edward NAYLOR, Kumardipti CHATTERJEE, Brian Patrick SELLERS, Michael Devin LONG, Nicholas Alexander TAYLOR, Sally Lin KILBACAK

Publication number: 20240000630Abstract: The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles having a first belt and a second belt with one or more frangible pathways. A frangible pathway may extend between a proximal terminus on an inner edge of a belt and a distal terminus on an outer edge of the belt. A grip region comprising an accessibility opening may be positioned between the inner and outer edges of the belt. The frangible pathway may comprise a first tear zone and a second tear zone extending from the accessibility opening to the distal terminus and to the proximal terminus. Such frangible pathway configurations provide a feature that allows a belt of a diaper pant to be relatively easily torn along the frangible pathway when removing the diaper pant from a wearer. The frangible pathway may be configured to allow a caregiver to initiate and/or completely tear the first belt with one hand.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Keith Richard WILLHAUS, Jeromy Thomas RAYCHECK, Jeffry ROSIAK, Jason Edward NAYLOR, Kumardipti CHATTERJEE, Michael Devin LONG, Nicholas Alexander TAYLOR, Sally Lin KILBACAK, Andrew David SCHOLES

Publication number: 20210346213Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to absorbent articles with front and back waist panels having different stretch characteristics. A first waist panel may be connected with a chassis and positioned in a first waist region, and a second waist panel may be connected with the chassis and positioned in a second waist region. In some configurations, the first waist panel may comprise a first structural feature that is not included in the second waist panel or may comprise a first structural feature is different from a second structural feature included in the second waist panel. As such, the first structural feature provides different stretch characteristics between the first waist panel and the second waist panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Sally Lin KILBACAK, Donald Carroll ROE, Jeromy Thomas RAYCHECK, Uwe SCHNEIDER, Michael Devin LONG, Michael Brian QUADE, Jason Edward NAYLOR, Jeffry ROSIAK, Stephen Joseph LANGE

Publication number: 20030087371Abstract: Neurotransmission by excitatory amino acids (EAAs) such as glutamate is mediated via membrane-bound surface receptors. This neurotransmission has been found to be modulated by certain modulatory proteins. DNA coding for a family of such modulatory proteins has now been isolated and the modulatory proteins have been characterized. Herein described are recombinant cell lines which produce these modulatory proteins as heterologous membrane-bound products. Also described are related aspects of the invention, which are of commercial significance, including the use of cell lines which express the modulatory proteins either homomerically, or heteromerically in a complex with an NMDA receptor, as a tool for discovery of compounds which affect the function of the modulatory proteins.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2002Publication date: May 8, 2003Applicant: NPS ALLELIX CORP.Inventors: Robert L. Foldes, Sally-Lin Adams, Rajender Kamboj
