A simple disposable absorbent article including an absorbent assembly attached to a chassis. The absorbent assembly includes an absorbent core that may contain superabsorbent particles, which may be contained inside pockets. The absorbent assembly is folded laterally inward at both of its side edges to form laterally opposing side flaps. Each side flap is attached to an interior surface of the absorbent assembly adjacent to its end edges. A longitudinally extending elastic gathering member is attached to each side flap adjacent to its proximal edge. When the article is worn, the elastic gathering members contract and raise the side flaps to form breathable side barriers. The chassis includes a water-impermeable sheet and may be extensible. The absorbent assembly may be attached in a cruciform pattern such that portions of the chassis that lie outside the attachment pattern are not restrained by attachment to the absorbent assembly and therefore remain extensible.

A simple disposable absorbent article including a chassis and an absorbent assembly. The chassis includes laterally opposing side flaps formed by laterally inwardly folded portions of the chassis and deployable chassis ears formed by other laterally inwardly folded portions of the chassis. Each chassis ear is held laterally inwardly folded until being deployed by being released and unfolded laterally outward so as to project laterally outward beyond the adjacent side flap. Fastening elements may be disposed on at least two of the chassis ears, the fastening elements being adapted for fastening the front waist region to the back waist region to encircle a waist and legs of a wearer. The chassis may be extensible. The absorbent assembly may be attached in a cruciform pattern to the chassis to allow portions of the chassis underlying the absorbent assembly and lying outside the cruciform attachment pattern to extend laterally.

A plastic container for the storage and transport of liquids, particularly aggressive liquids, comprising a practically rectangular bottom, a top wall with a filling or pouring hole, and standing walls which each connect to the circumferential seam of both the bottom and the top, and four standing edge strips each connecting two walls, which container is manufactured by the blow-molding process, wherein the standing wall portions have a convex form, wherein either the standing edge strips widen at the top and the bottom and, as seen in a cross-section running parallel to the bottom, the standing edge strips have a radius of curvature equal to or greater than that of the standing wall portions to which they are connected.

A cruciform buckling restrained brace with transverse partition double-layered bushing is provided. The core steel brace has a cruciform cross section, and comprises a middle segment (buckling segment) as major body with a smaller width, two distal end segments (extension segments), a transition segment between the buckling segment and the extension segment, and a transverse partition arranged in the middle of the buckling segment. Outer restraining steel bushings are positioned respectively at two sides of the transverse partition. An inner steel bushing is arranged between the outer restraining steel bushing and the core steel brace and has a cruciform cross section. The space between the inner steel bushing and outer restraining steel bushing is packed with fillers. An anti-adhesion material is coated tightly on the surface of the buckling segment and transition segment of the core steel brace, with a gap between the anti-adhesion material and the inner steel bushing and filled with a compressible material. The invention has the advantages of simple structure, low fabrication cost, suitability for streamline production, and wide application in high-rise buildings, towering buildings, and highway and railway bridges. The invention helps to increase the structural rigidity, improve the capacity of energy dissipation of the whole structure, and prevent earthquake disaster.

A high strength low density multi-purpose panel. The preferred panel is made of a plurality of boxes, organized into rows and columns, and each preferably including four alternately inverted voids. The voids are preferably triangular in cross-section and rounded at their apex and corners. The box sides are preferably four solid panels. Cross panels, extending between opposite corners and between the faces of each box, intersect at each box center, resulting in an X-shaped cross in each box. Each box is rotated ninety degrees with respect to each adjacent box. Each box shares sides with four adjacent boxes and corners with four cater-corned boxes. The common sides create perpendicular sets of parallel braces running the panel's length and width. The shared corners align and join the X-shaped cross panels with the X-shaped cross panels of their cater-cornered neighbors, creating diagonal braces that run across the entire panel.
