Abstract: A method of interacting with a user to define a behavior of a portion of an interactive presentation, where the interactive presentation corresponds to a simulation model, and where the interactive presentation and the user interact via an interactive graphical user interface. The method involves monitoring a manipulation of a cursor monitoring a graphical dragging and dropping of a first graphical symbol to a first area such that a user interface component appears in the first area, where the user interface component corresponds to a conditionally-executed instruction, and receiving a name for the user interface component. A name and a text description for a requirement for the user interface component are received and stored and a dropping of a second graphical symbol into the first graphical symbol in the pane of the interactive graphical user interface, is monitored. In response to the dropping of the second graphical symbol, a first branch is added to the first graphical symbol, where the first branch corresponds to a first code that is executed upon selection of the first branch during run time. Dropping of a third graphical symbol into the first graphical symbol in the pane of the interactive graphical user interface is monitored, and in response a second branch is added to the first graphical symbol, where the second branch corresponds to a second code that is executed upon selection of the second branch during run time. A data flow input control for the first graphical symbol is received. The data flow input is associated with the first graphical symbol such that when the interactive simulation of the simulation model runs, a combination of the data flow input control and a data flow input received during run-time controls the branching of the first graphical symbol to the first branch and to the second branch.

Abstract: In an outer covering sheet of an absorbent product, first, second and third adhesive layer elements each extending in a left-right direction are formed on a second covering sheet by spiral spray application. Each of these adhesive layer elements has wide width parts and narrow width parts which are continuous with the wide width parts, respectively. Therefore, hot melt adhesive can be stably discharged across the entire length of the adhesive layer element, unlike in the case where only wide width parts are formed intermittently. As the result, it is possible to obtain the outer covering sheet which is a sheet member having the adhesive layer elements with desired shapes where unevenness is decreased. And in the absorbent product which is manufactured with use of the sheet member, comfort level of the wearer can be prevented from decreasing due to unevenness of thickness of the adhesive layer elements.
