An absorbent structure comprising one or more absorbent layers wherein the absorbent structure exhibits a first cycle Peak Force compression between about 30 grams and about 150 grams. The absorbent structure further exhibits a fifth cycle dry recovery energy between 0.1 mJ and 2.8 mJ.

Absorbent structure

A disposable absorbent article. The disposable absorbent article has a topsheet; a backsheet; and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The disposable absorbent article may include embossed central channels, a perimeter channel, and a pair of rear channels disposed on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis transversely inboard of the perimeter channel and longitudinally outboard of the outwardly convex longitudinal channels. The pair of rear channels may be generally candy cane-shaped.

Disposable absorbent article

An absorbent article and method of making the absorbent article are disclosed. The absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core structure having one or more layers wherein at least one layer is a heterogeneous mass layer, wherein the topsheet and the heterogeneous mass are integrated such that they reside in the same X-Y plane.

Topsheets integrated with heterogenous mass layer

A disposable absorbent article. The disposable absorbent article has a topsheet; a backsheet; and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The disposable absorbent article exhibits a pad peel force of at least about 0.5 N, when measured in accordance with the product integrity test.

An absorbent article is disclosed. The absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core structure having one or more layers. The absorbent article has multiple zones.

Absorbent article having multiple zones

An Absorbent article comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core comprising an absorbent structure, wherein the absorbent structure exhibits a Cross Direction bending rigidity between 0.3 gf*cm{circumflex over (&#x2003;)}2/cm and 1.6 gf*cm{circumflex over (&#x2003;)}2/cm and a Machine Direction bending rigidity between 1.5 gf*cm{circumflex over (&#x2003;)}2/cm and 14 gf*cm{circumflex over (&#x2003;)}2/cm.

Absorbent article with absorbent structure having anisotropic rigidity

A system for predicting the performance of a rotary unit operation on a web. The system includes a first rotary roll, a second rotary roll, a nip gap between the first rotary unit and the second rotary roll, a web enabled to travel through the nip, a predetermined pattern, and a computing device comprising a processor and a memory component. The first rotary roll and the second rotary roll are enabled to imprint the predetermined pattern on the web. The memory component stores logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to perform at least the following: receive input characteristics of the first rotary roll and the second rotary roll, the web, and the initial nip-gap; receive the predetermined pattern; simulate a transformation performance on the web by the first rotary roll and the second rotary roll; output an analysis demonstrating a load impact factor; and analyze one or more load impact factors to determine if the system will output the predetermined pattern and if the transformation is robust.

Systems and methods for predicting the performance of a rotary unit operation on a web

A method comprises steps of: providing an initial package design, providing an initial package-handling element design, modeling the interaction of the package and the package-handling element, and altering one of the package design or the package-handling element design according to the results of the model. Wherein the initial package-handling element design comprises at least one item selected from the group consisting of: a motion transfer component comprising a combination of discrete geometrically defined elements, package guide rails, package guide rail supports, vacuum conveying components, and combinations thereof. And wherein the interaction reflects the package interaction with the discrete elements of a multi-element motion transfer component or the package guide rails having a flexibility greater than zero, or package guide rail supports having a finite stiffness, or a combination thereof.
