Abstract: The present invention is related to a tampon for feminine hygiene, having an insertion end (32), a recovery end (34), a recovery tape (35) and a longitudinal axis. The tampon (30) is made of compressed fibrous material having an outer surface. The outer surface of the tampon (30) is at least partially provided with spirally shaped, pressed longitudinal grooves (42) which define spirally shaped longitudinal ribs (40). The tampon (30) is preferably compressed radially with respect to its longitudinal axis. The tampon can have an essentially uniform density over its cross-section, or it can have a core of highly compressed fibrous material from which core longitudinal ribs extend radially outward. Furthermore, the invention is related to a method and operated for producing said tampon. A considerable reduction of the risk of leakage after the tampon has been put into use is achieved by extending the time over which the tampon absorbs a body fluid, a nd by enlarging the surface of the tampon and increasing the fiber quantity available for immediate absorption of body fluid after the introduction of t he tampon, in particular in the area of the fiber core.

Abstract: A new information embedding technology is disclosed using conjugate screen concept. More specifically, two screens are applied in a halftoning process, one for the areas that corresponds to the symbol to be embedded 4object), and one for the background. Both screens can be conceptually decomposed into a two-layer structure similar to supercells. The top layer determines the overall halftone texture, while the bottom layer, which is conjugate for background and object, carries embedded data. The information can be retrieved digitally or optically. In embedding, there is no restriction of the symbol sizes. The computation is relatively simple and can be implemented in real time. In retrieval, it is relatively robust to registration errors.
