Publication number: 20180168891Abstract: An absorbent article having longitudinal cuffs of improved structure is disclosed. The improved cuffs may be elasticized by a plurality of elastic strands that are substantially greater in number, closer in spacing, lower in pre-strain, and lower in decitex, or any combination of these, as compared with those in conventional articles. This combination of features results in ruffles or gathers of cuff material joined to the elastic strands that are substantially greater in machine-direction frequency and substantially lesser in z-direction amplitude, than those in conventional articles. As a result, the cuff structure lies more closely and evenly against the wearer's skin, has an improved, more cloth-like appearance, provides improved gasketing, and provides improved wearer comfort, as compared with cuff structures in conventional articles. A method for manufacturing articles with such cuff structures, utilizing a warp beam as a supply mechanism, is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2017Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Brandon Ellis Wise, Gary Dean LaVON

Publication number: 20180168935Abstract: A medication dispensing system is provided and includes a medicine transfer device (MTD) and a controller. The MTD transfers medicine between first and second containers. The first container initially stores medicine. The controller: determines a first predetermined amount of medicine to be dispensed from the medicine dispensing system; causes the MTD to discharge a second predetermined amount of the medicine from the first container onto the MTD, and transfer a third predetermined amount of the medicine from the MTD to the second container; subsequent to the transfer of the third predetermined amount, determine whether the second container has greater than or equal to the first predetermined amount; and if the second container has less than the first predetermined amount, cause the MTD to transfer a portion of the medicine on the MTD into the second container or discharge a portion of the medicine in the first container onto the MTD.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2018Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Changhai CHEN, Daniel CHEN, Michael CHEN

Publication number: 20180168936Abstract: An apparatus and method for containing bacteria in an infant bottle that prevents unswallowed formula from returning to the unused formula in the bottle. The apparatus includes a plurality of one-way valves positioned across a containment chamber and all located between the bottle opening and the nipple. The plurality of one-way valves allows uncontaminated formula to flow out of the bottle portion during suction on the nipple. However, once suction is removed and if formula that has come into contact with the infant makes its way back into the nipple, the plurality of one-way valves close blocking the return path to the bottle portion. Should any contaminated formula makes its way through one of the one-way valves, the contaminated fluid is then trapped within the containment chamber and the remaining one-way valve is closed when suction is removed. Gaskets in and beneath the containment chamber form further sealing means.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2016Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Christopher Stanislawczyk, Corinne Anne Sebesta Sisti
