Absorbent article provided with a bodily fluid reception canal

An absorbent article includes: a sheet-type leakage-preventing body; absorbent body, at least one layer arranged on the leakage-preventing body top, which absorb fluids; pair of left and right floating leg gathers on the absorbent body top, extending in longitudinal direction from the main body front end of the absorbent article to the rear end, traversing a front body section, crotch part, and rear body section. Each floating leg gathers have a top and trailing parts adjoining the top part. Front and rear ends of the floating leg gathers are joined respectively to the vicinity of the front and rear end of the absorbent article main body. Trailing parts trail downwards from top parts towards the absorbent body. At least one part of the trailing parts of the left and right floating leg gathers is mutually connected in the lower end area forming a channel for bodily fluids inside trailing parts.

An absorbent article has a basic functionality of a skin contact sheet present and configured on the surface of an absorber such that it rises therefrom, in which no positional displacement occurs at a crotch part and which effectively avoids contact between a wearer's skin and urine/feces. The absorbent article has: a leak preventer in sheet form; an absorber arranged above the leak preventer and capable of absorbing a bodily fluid in at least one layer; a skin contact member arranged above the absorber, between a front part of the leak preventer and a rear part of the leak preventer, and that makes contact with a wearer's skin and is spaced apart from the absorber at a time of use; and a connecting unit that couples a part of the skin contact member corresponding to a crotch part of the wearer with the absorber at the time of use.

Absorbent article

Disclosed is an absorbent article, having an individual-wrapping sheet which is liquid-impermeable; an absorber arranged on an upper side of the individual-wrapping sheet, containing super absorbent polymer, and capable of absorbing an aqueous liquid; and a back-up sheet arranged between the individual-wrapping sheet and the absorber and capable of retaining the aqueous liquid, in which the individual-wrapping sheet has a liquid-storing portion in a form of bag which is provided in a rear portion of the individual-wrapping sheet and forms an internal space on the upper side of the individual-wrapping sheet, and in which a rear end portion of the absorber exists in the internal space formed by the liquid-storing portion. By using this absorbent article, a material used for individual wrapping can be utilized at the time of wearing the absorbent article without disposal of the material, and leakage is less liable to occur.

Absorbent article having a liquid-impermeable individual-wrapping sheet with a liquid-storing portion at a time of use

An absorbent article has: a leak preventer sheet form; an absorber arranged above the leak preventer and absorbs bodily fluid in at least one layer; and a pair of right and left floating leg gathers arranged, above the absorber, from front end to rear end part in length direction of the absorbent article via a front body, a crotch part and rear body. Floating leg gathers have head and hanging parts connecting to the head parts, respectively. A front end and a rear end parts of each of the hanging parts respectively coupled near a front end part and rear end part of the body of the absorbent article, each hanging part hangs down from the head part toward the absorber; hanging parts of floating leg gathers fixed to the absorber at a lower end part of the hanging part in the crotch part without fixing to the absorber.

An absorbent article includes: an absorbent article body part having a first leak preventer and an absorber; a second leak preventer arranged above the absorber having an enclosed space formed in bag form on a lower side by sealing a periphery part save a front end part to the absorbent article body part; a skin contact sheet arranged between front and rear parts of the absorbent article body part, contacts a wearer's skin and is spaced apart from the absorber at parts other than front and rear end parts; and a urine/feces separation member, wherein a front or middle part couples to a corresponding crotch part of the skin contact sheet, a rear part extends, on a lower side of the second leak preventer, up to at least the front end part of the second leak preventer, and right and left side parts couple to the absorbent article body part.

Disposable diaper

A semiconductor non-volatile memory for use in a computer or the like has an erasing electrode and a writing electrode provided adjacent to a floating gate electrode through respective tunnel oxide films. Rewriting of the memory is effected by applying a strong electric field to each of the tunnel oxide films through the erasing and writing electrodes only in the forward direction so that it is difficult for the tunnel oxide film to break down worn due to the application of the electric field.

Semiconductor non-volatile memory

A test method is used for examining a sample insulating film to determine an expected value of time for the sample insulating film to undergo dielectric breakdown. A varying electric stress is applied to a sample insulating film to flow therethrough a varying electric current. The varying electric current is monitored until catastrophic dielectric breakdown occurs in the sample insulating film to measure a critical electric current which flows through the sample insulating film immediately before the breakdown occurs. The expected value of time to breakdown is determined according to the measured critical electric current.
