Patent number: 8834439Abstract: The present invention relates to an intravaginal tampon for feminine hygiene includes a generally cylindrical absorbent pledget and a withdrawal element operatively connected to the generally cylindrical pledget proximate to the withdrawal end thereof. The absorbent pledget includes a mass of fibers compressed into a self sustaining shape and a sheet-like fluid-permeable cover substantially enclosing the mass of fibers. The absorbent pledget has formed thereon or therein at least one continuous groove form comprising a plurality of substantially longitudinal groove segments linked only to form a turn located alternatively proximate the insertion end and withdrawal end and wherein the continuous groove form extends around at least 180° about the circumference of the generally cylindrical absorbent pledget.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Johnson & Johnson GmbHInventors: David L.

Patent number: 8827975Abstract: The present invention relates to an intravaginal tampon for feminine hygiene includes a generally cylindrical absorbent pledget and a withdrawal element operatively connected to the generally cylindrical pledget proximate to the withdrawal end thereof. The absorbent pledget includes a mass of fibers compressed into a self sustaining shape and a sheet-like fluid-permeable cover substantially enclosing the mass of fibers. The absorbent pledget has formed thereon or therein a plurality of detached groove forms. At least two of said detached groove forms each has a length, measured along the groove, that is at least 150% of the length of the pledget; each has a major axis having a generally longitudinal orientation; and each has a turn proximate to at least one of the insertion end and the withdrawal end.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Johnson & Johnson GmbHInventors: David L. Kimball, Tony C. Ng, Tara Zedayko

Publication number: 20060245971Abstract: Sensor particles comprise a silica-based core and at least one photoluminescent dye. The silica-based core may comprise a plurality of pores and the at least one photoluminescent dye may comprise a reference dye, insensitive to its environment and analytes and a sensor dye, sensitive to either or both of the foregoing. The sensor particles may be employed to sense unknown environmental conditions or analytes in biological or non-biological systems, in vitro or in vivo.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2005Publication date: November 2, 2006Inventors: Andrew Burns, Erik Herz, Tara Zedayko, Ulrich Wiesner
