Abstract: A package of absorbent articles is disclosed. The package includes a container made of flexible sheet material, and a line of weakness defining a predetermined portion of the container to be separated from the container. The container has a front panel and at least a portion of the line of weakness is located within the front panel of the container. The predetermined portion has an opening dimension. The package includes a plurality of pouches arranged in a stacked relationship within the container. The pouch transverse edge width and pouch longitudinal edge width can be greater than the opening dimension.

Abstract: A method of making an opaque printed substrate. First a first application is applied to a substrate, wherein the first application is selected from the group consisting of metallic ink and ink, forming a first unit having a first and second side. A second application is applied on the first unit, wherein the second application is selected from the group consisting of metallic ink and ink, wherein the second ink differs from the first application.

Abstract: An opaque printed substrate. The opaque printed substrate has a first unit having a first side and a second side. The first unit includes a substrate and a first application placed on the substrate. The first application is selected from the group consisting of metallic ink and ink. A second application is placed on the first unit. The second application is selected from the group consisting of metallic ink and ink and the second application differs from the first application.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to improved golf course bunker drainage systems and methods for reducing sand erosion caused by water impinging upon and soaking into sloped zones of a golf course bunker. Such bunkers have a layer of sand disposed atop a substrate layer, and include an upper lip, at least one water fall line and a bunker bottom. Formed within the substrate layer of the golf course bunker are an upper drain trough, at least one intermediate trough, and a bottom drain trough. Disposed respectively therein are respective upper, intermediate and bottom drainage pipes, with each containing substantially upwardly directed apertures for receiving the impinging water disposed within the troughs.

Abstract: A heat dissipating fabricated resistor grid for the dynamic braking of electric motors has a zigzag resistor supported by insulating members within a frame. The zigzag resistor is made up of a plurality of resistor elements formed from sheet metal, each element containing at least one "U" shaped bend, that are connected by welded joints between the legs of adjacent resistor elements. The resistor elements may be embossed to stiffen them. Various types of clips may be utilized to hold the tabs and the resistor elements together to facilitate welding and the clips are welded to the other components and become part of the zigzag resistor. Various types of connecting joints are provided to connect the zigzag resistor to the insulating members. Various types of securing devices are provided to secure the insulating members to a supporting metal frame.

Abstract: An improved frame supported resistor grid used for dynamic braking of electric motors is provided. The resistor grid has a metal frame and fan-folded strips of resistance material arranged in columns within the frame. The strips of resistance material are supported by studs affixed to the folds of the strips and the studs are, in turn, supported in ceramic bushing insulators. An intermediate member is affixed to the frame and receives the individual ceramic bushing insulators.

Abstract: The present invention describes a time based servo pattern scheme which provides position and velocity information with high accuracy. A plurality of servo lines are formed on a data disk extending from the inner track to the outer track. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, these lines are employed as part of a buried servo scheme such that the entire useable disk surface is dedicated to data storage. The servo pattern is written on each side of the disk so that, if the disk were transparent, the respective servo lines would appear to intersect when viewed from above. Servo heads located on each side of the disk detect servo line crossings. By comparing the time difference between crossings of corresponding tracks on either side of the disk, the radial position of the heads can be determined. Therefore, even when nominal track centers do not fall on servo line intersections, their position can be determined accurately.
