摘要:
Absorbent articles incorporating a wetness sensor for indicating the presence of a body fluid are disclosed. The wetness sensor includes an olfactory signaling device that produces a scent or odor when a body fluid is detected. For instance, in one embodiment, an odorous composition can be contained in a water degradable pouch that releases the odorous composition when contacted with moisture. Once released, the odorous composition can produce a desired scent. In other embodiments, the odorous composition can be encapsulated within a water degradable material or can be coated on a substrate. The scent or odor that is released by the odorous composition can vary depending upon the particular application. The scent, for instance, may be pleasant or unpleasant. In one embodiment, the olfactory signaling device may be used to assist in toilet training a child.

摘要:
Methods for forming a translucent window on the inner surface of a liquid impermeable breathable film outer cover of an absorbent product, such as a diaper, for viewing a water dispersible ink to indicate when an insult has occurred are disclosed. Additionally, absorbent products having a translucent window and a water dispersible ink are disclosed.
摘要:
In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure a method for detecting the presence of urine is described. The method includes providing a urine indicating sensor with a porous matrix, the matrix having a pH indicator non-diffusively immobilized thereon, the pH indicator being capable of a color transition when in contact with urine. Urine is contacted with the matrix of the sensor and the presence of urine is determined based on whether the pH indicator undergoes a color transition.

摘要:
A protective glove configured to cover the hand of the user is provided. The glove includes a first portion that is configured for tightly fitting on at least a portion of the hand of the user. A second portion is contiguous with the first portion and is also configured for tightly fitting on at least a portion of the hand of the user. The second portion has a higher tactility than the first portion so that the user of the glove may more easily feel through the second portion than through the first portion.
摘要:
The present subject matter relates to absorbent articles and signaling devices for use therewith. An absorbent article may be provided with selected electrical components used as wetness or other type sensors and may also incorporate one or more electrical components, characteristics of which may be determined by a coupled signaling device. An attached signaling device may automatically determine a product identification based on characteristics of the electrical components detected and adjust operating characteristics or parameters for the sensing device. Determinations could be made based on gender, age and approximate weight of the user of the absorbent device. In addition automatic checks can be made to determine mutual operability of the signaling device with an associated absorbent article or visa-versa.
摘要:
Wetness indicators may include alarm devices that are designed to assist parents or attendants in identifying a wet diaper condition early on. These devices produce either a visual or an audible signal. Many of these devices rely on electronics, which may increase the expense of the absorbent article. Further, electronic devices rely on electrical sources and may be prone to failure if not utilized for an extended period of time.
摘要:
The present disclosure is generally directed to process for controlling the quality of absorbent articles containing wetness sensing systems. The wetness sensing system incorporated in the article can include, for instance, metallic conductive leads or other metallic material. A metal sensor can be used in order to ensure that a proper amount of metallic material is contained within the absorbent article thereby confirming the presence of the wetness sensing system. The process of the present disclosure can be carried out at various locations. For instance, the process can be carried out while the articles are being manufactured, after the articles are packaged or during use of the articles. In one embodiment, the process can be carried out at a wholesale or retail location prior to accepting the articles into inventory.
