Abstract: The present invention provides absorbent articles, such as disposable diapers, which utilize substantially water-insoluble hydrogel material to enhance the absorbent capacity of such articles. In these articles, the hydrogel material, combined in particulate form with hydrophilic fiber material, is primarily placed in a lower fluid storage layer of the absorbent core of the article. Such a fluid storage lower layer of the absorbent core is placed underneath an upper, preferably larger, fluid acquisition/distribution layer containing little or no hydrogel. This lower fluid storage layer is positioned in such a manner that at least about 75% of the hydrogel in the lower layer is found in the front two-thirds of the absorbent article and such that at least about 55% of the hydrogel in the lower layer is found in the front half of the absorbent article. Absorbent articles of this type make especially effective and efficient use of the hydrogel material and may also provide a diaper rash control benefit. Absorbent cores of the type utilized in such articles are also disclosed.

Abstract: Novel vectors are provided for identifying secretory signal sequences from DNA fragments of unicellular microorganisms. The plasmids comprise a multiple cloning site with restriction sites in reading frame with a structural gene which permits rapid screening of the secreted expression product. Optionally, the vectors may include a promoter region upstream from the multiple cloning site. The invention is exemplified with Bacillus. Specific secretory signal sequences have been isolated with those vectors, allowing real secretion of proteins in economically high yields. Certain isolated signal sequences appeared to be much better than the sequences regulating the high yield secretion of known extracellular proteins.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for reconfiguring the pin assignments of the functional circuits in a microcontroller. The apparatus includes a first pin, a second pin, a functional circuit, and a multiplexer. The multiplexer is operable to receive a flag, couple the functional circuit to the first pin when the flag is equal to 1; and couple the functional circuit to the second pin when said flag is equal to 0. A configuration register is also provided that stores the flag and is connected to the multiplexer. The first pin may be coupled to another functional circuit when the flag is equal to 0. This permits the two functional circuits to operate simultaneously. In the method, the functional circuit is assigned to the first pin as a default setting in one operating mode, and reassigned to the second pin in an alternate operating mode. The method may further include the step of assigning the other functional circuit to the first pin in the alternate operating mode, so that the two functional circuits can operate simultaneously in the alternate operating mode. The reconfiguration can be performed either when the electronic device is initially programmed or during its normal operation. <IMAGE>
