A measuring cup including a bottom end and an open end opposite the bottom end; a sidewall extending from said bottom end to the open end, wherein the sidewall has an interior surface; and a dosing indicium integral with the interior surface, wherein at least a portion of the dosing indicium includes a bitmapped pattern of chemically or structurally modified bits of the sidewall, wherein the bitmapped pattern includes at least two rows of bits.

Measuring cup having a bitmapped pattern

A measuring cup including a bottom end and an open end opposite the bottom end; a sidewall extending from said bottom end to the open end, wherein the sidewall has an exterior surface; and a dosing indicium integral with the exterior surface, wherein at least a portion of the dosing indicium includes a bitmapped pattern of chemically or structurally modified bits of the sidewall, wherein the bitmapped pattern includes at least two rows of bits.

Article having a body portion including one or more walls surrounding an interior space. The one or more walls have an inner surface, an outer surface, a wall thickness, a transparent portion, and one or more aesthetic regions having oblong voids provided between the inner surface and the outer surface within an outermost 70% of the wall, and the one or more aesthetic regions are provided in a predetermined pattern.

Article with visual effect

A sheet of material that is marked with a pulsed laser, the sheet of material having an outer edge and an inner edge separated by a core. The distance from the outer edge to the inner edge is the sheet thickness. The sheet of material has a total concentration of TiOof less than about 1.00%. There is an exterior layer beginning at the outer edge and extending into the core, the thickness of the exterior layer is from about 10.00% to about 40.00% of the sheet thickness, and the exterior layer has an average concentration of from about 2.50% to about 10.00% TiO.

Sheet materials and articles comprising TiO2 and laser marking

Method of making a blow molded article from a preform including: a) providing a preform of a thermoplastic material having a plurality of effect structures each having an effect surface having a normal with an orientation, the preform having a body with one or more walls and an opening, wherein at least a portion of the one or more walls of the preform has a three-dimensional pattern of cavities and/or protrusions thereon; and b) blow molding the preform to form a blow molded article, wherein the step of blow molding the preform changes the orientation of the normal of at least some of the effect surfaces of the effect structures to create a visual effect in at least one wall of the blow molded article.

Method of making article with visual effect

A blow molded article having a body portion that includes one or more walls surrounding an interior space. The one or more walls have an article inner surface, an article outer surface, and a wall thickness. At least a portion of the one or more walls includes one or more effect structures each having an effect surface normal having an orientation. Further there is a first region including a plurality of first effect structures having a first Average Normal Orientation, a second region including a plurality of second effect structures having a second Average Normal Orientation which is different from the first Average Normal Orientation, and a visual effect resulting from the difference between the first Average Normal Orientation of the effect structures in the first region and the second Average Normal Orientation of the effect structures in the second region.

A method for analyzing an absorbent article may include providing a three-dimensional computed tomography data set comprising a mannequin image and an article image. The article image may be constructed from projections collected while the absorbent article is fitted to a mannequin. An outer surface of the mannequin image may be identified. A desired distance may be provided. A volumetric demarcation may be spaced the desired distance away from the outer surface of the mannequin image. An image volume may be disposed between the outer surface of the mannequin image and the volumetric demarcation. A relevant portion of the article image may be enhanced using a processor. The relevant portion of the article image may be coincident with the image volume.
