Publication number: 20100004616Abstract: There is provided a fastening tab or side panel for a disposable diaper (herein below sometimes referred to simply as a “fastening tab”) with an opening formed in the fastening tab or side panel base member or a notch on the terminal end of the fastening tab or side panel base member. When an invention fastening tab or side panel of an adult or baby disposable diaper (herein below sometimes referred to simply as a “diaper”) is pulled outward, the fastening tab or side panel in some embodiments can be pulled out by hooking the fastening tab or side panel at an opening (the “opening” formed by a discrete opening or a notch) with a finger. The opening helps the fastening tab to have good handleability on the diaper when the diaper is fixed to a user. A fastening tab having openings or notches, with the side having the notches being attached to the diaper such that the notch forms an “opening”, also distributes forces at the side of the diaper.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2005Publication date: January 7, 2010Applicant: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Tatsuya Nakamura, Yasuhiro Kono, Takeshi Yamada, Jayshree Seth

Publication number: 20050231346Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a tire monitoring system in which electric power is fed from a car body to a tire sensor unit in a non-contact manner. The tire sensor unit 10 (10a-10d) is mounted on a corresponding tire 2 (2a-2d) of a car, and electric power is radio-transmitted from a corresponding non-contact type power supply portion 40 (40a-40d) provided in the car body to the tire sensor unit 10 by electromagnetic induction or by microwaves. The tire sensor unit 10 is provided with a non-contact type power receiving portion which generates direct-current power by energy transmitted from the non-contact type power supply portion 40 so as to supply electric power necessary for activating the tire sensor unit 10. The tire sensor unit 10 senses air pressure or the like, and radio-transmits the information to the receiving device 20.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2002Publication date: October 20, 2005Applicant: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hidemi Ichinose, Yasuhiro Kono
