Abstract: Disclosed are absorbent cores for inclusion in articles such as diapers, incontinent briefs, training pants, diaper holders and liners, feminine hygiene garments, and the like, designed to provide improved fit and comfort for the wearer while adequately containing body exudates. The absorbent core is designed so as to retain low levels of fluid in the crotch region, relative to the other core regions, even when the core absorbs significant amounts of fluid during use. To achieve this, the absorbent core is designed such that fluid is moved substantially from the crotch region to the front and/or rear ends of the article. In particular, the absorbent core comprises in its crotch region a material having significant vertical wicking absorbent capacities.

Abstract: The method involves one unit managing an associated number equal to some or all of a total number of configurable elements. Reconfiguration requests are sent from the elements to the unit. The unit accepts no further requests and changes during processing; loads yet to be loaded configuration data of earlier requests from an intermediate memory into the configurable element; and converts the current request to a definite identifier or ID. The ID is converted to the address in the unit's memory of the configuration data to be loaded if the data exists in the memory. The data are requested from a superior unit if not present in the unit's memory. The data are loaded if the element can accept them. Data which cannot be accepted are placed in temporary memory. When configuration data have been fully processed, new requests can be accepted, until when the configuration data yet to be loaded from earlier request are loaded into the configurable elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for gluing two disc elements (10, 12) together, in particular substrates for digital audio, video or data discs, such as Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs). The disc elements (10, 12) are held essentially horizontally and coaxially with one another so that a gap is formed between the disc elements, after which, in an inner area of the gap, a liquid adhesive is applied in the form of separate strands in the circumferential direction on the facing sides of the disc elements. The disc elements are brought together against one another and made to rotate rapidly in conjunction with the bringing together in order, by means of the gravitational force of the upper disc element and the capillary force of the adhesive, in association with the centrifugal force on the latter during the rapid rotation, to form a homogeneous and bubble-free adhesive layer of predetermined thickness between the disc elements.
