A disposable absorbent article comprising a first waist region, a second waist region, a crotch region disposed between the first waist region and second waist region; a first waist edge and a second waist edge; the disposable absorbent article comprising at least one waistband, wherein the waistband is comprised of a laminate comprising a nonwoven material and at least one elastic strand, wherein the nonwoven material and the least one elastic strand are combined under a first strain and the waistband is attached to the disposable absorbent article under an applied waistband strain, wherein the difference between the first strain and the applied waistband strain results in a waistband having a Full Waistband Consolidation of greater than about 95%.

A singlet telescope is provided for reshaping the laser beam to a larger or smaller diameter while maintaining the inherent quality of the beam. Applications for the singlet telescope include intercavity expansion to accommodate the damage thresh-old of various components, expansion of beams to match the size of different wavelengths for final collimation, and shrinking of beams to provide high irradiance for nonlinear processes such as optical parametric oscillation and frequency doubling, with the above applications usually requiring low power magnification or demagnification. Problems involving the utilization of these telescopes over wide temperature ranges and ghost reflections in which a light is reflected back to a pumping laser are minimized with the singlet construction, with the ghost reflections potentially creating damage of components including self-damage or breakdown of air, as well as damage to a Q-switched resonator which causes pre-lasing.

The present invention differs from the prior art in that the present invention provides one or a network of passive or active radio frequency identification (RFID) transceivers and antenna elements in different numbers, in various network sizes, in different configurations and on various substrates. The RFID transceiver can be co-located with standard semiconductor devices, for cost-effective circuit design and non-destructive fabrication test and analysis of integrated circuits and printed circuit boards after fabrication, and to locate, track and identify the integrated circuit, printed circuit boards and products in which they are implemented. The RFID transceivers can be coupled to substrates containing matter in gas, liquid, or solid form, such as medical devices like breast implants, for effective monitoring of the substrates to ensure that the substrate is in an unaltered state and the matter is still contained securely within. The RFID transceivers can be coupled to secure tapes of various lengths and widths and mesh bags or sheets of various sizes and they can be applied at the carton-level using them to locate, track and identify the integrated circuit, printed circuit boards and products in which they are implemented and/or the cartons in which they were placed.

The vehicle seat comprises an air conditioning unit associated with the seat pan and/or the backrest. The air conditioning unit comprises a fan, a flow channel and an air distribution element arranged on the upper face of the seat pan and/or backrest upholstery and connected to the fan via the flow channel. A fan receptacle and the flow channel are molded into the seat pan and/or into the backrest.

A method for purifying salt brine to obtain a highly pure sodium chloride from the purified brine by means of crystallization. Nanofiltration directly follows a two-stage brine purification according to the Schweizerhalle method, as a third purification stage, and the permeate of the nanofiltration is a highly pure brine. The concentrate from this step is recirculated into the first stage of the brine purification.

The invention concerns a drawer slide with compensation of synchronous running errors of slide rails (equalize the errors of the relative positions of the slide rails to each other), having on each of the two side of the drawer a rail system, that has a cabinet rail fastened directly or indirectly by a cabinet angle on a cabinet body and is held directly or indirectly linearly movable by a linear bearing by a center rail on a drawer rail, which is connected directly or indirectly by a décor with the drawer; whereby a compensation mechanism is provided that has a compensation lever, that is connected by a pivot bearing directly or indirectly by a cabinet angle or linear bearing or décor with one of the rails, and during its turning at the end of each drawer closing cycle, reaches a positive/form-fitting position with stops, that directly or indirectly are connected by a cabinet angle or linear bearing or décor with the remaining rails and, thus, ensures each drawer closing is automatic, guided and has equalized any synchronous running error.

Embodiments of a noise attenuation device comprise a plurality of stacked plates that form channels to reduce energy in a flow of working fluid that transits the noise attenuation device. In one embodiment, the stacked plates include plates having openings in different patterns. Orientation of the plates align the patterns in a housing to form the channels. In one example, the plates are disposed in a fluid coupling (e.g., a valve and/or flow regulator) that includes a throttling element. The plates are spaced apart from the throttling element, thereby permitting the working fluid to flow through all of the channels whether the throttling element is fully or partially open.

The present invention is a universal slide assembly for molding or casting systems used to introduce complex designs to moldings and castings, which is cost effective, easy to install, and easy to operate, and includes a base, a slide, and a cam lever. The base is directly insertable into a movable-die half for immediate use without requiring the slide to be individually designed or adapted to a particular movable-die half. The cam lever is capable of moving the slide towards and away from a core without the use of hydraulic power, through cam action.

An apparatus for imaging a symbol associated with an object which includes a housing and an imaging module connected to the housing, where the imaging module includes at least one lens for creating an image of the symbol. The imaging module further has a sensor for sensing the image. An electroluminescent light sheet is connected to the housing, and the electroluminescent light sheet provides at least one of dark field illumination and bright field illumination.

Disclosed is a beverage bottle holder wherein a handled harness provides the user with a means by which to grasp a conventional plastic beverage bottle, essentially transforming the bottle into a pitcher-type assembly that allows the user to pour the contents of the bottle with a great deal of ease and control

In an enterprise network system a plurality of software systems are integrated using an enterprise wide software management system and communicate with a plurality of clients. At least one of the clients is functionally represented by a plurality of subclients through a midware which is transparent to the software systems. Communication destined for any of the clients interfaced through the midware is received by the midware and converted to a format suitable for communication with one or more of the subclients prior to transmission thereto. Correspondingly, communications received from one or more subclients is converted to an appropriate format by the midware and forwarding to the assigned destination. Communications received by the midware is further monitored for fields which are tracked. Upon receiving communications having fields being tracked, the midware stores a least a portion of the communication in a report table.

An all-in-one beverage container for providing a mixed beverage product. The container includes a cup for holding a liquid, and a percolating mechanism for holding a beverage mix at a predetermined location within the cup, the beverage mix being provided in a solid, granular, gel and/or packaged form. A filter may be coupled to the percolating mechanism for separating the beverage mix from liquid disposable in the cup, and a stem may be coupled to the percolating mechanism for enabling axial movement of the percolating mechanism relative to a longitudinal axis of the cup. The stem may enable mixing of the beverage mix with the liquid and enable removal of the percolating mechanism from the cup upon mixing of the beverage mix with the liquid for thereby providing the mixed beverage product. The invention thus provides an all-in-one beverage container which is easy to use, hygienic and disposable.
