Patterned fibrous substrates having a plurality of individual fibers, a first region, and a second region are provided. The first region is visually discernable from the second region. The first region has a first region fluid permeability score (PS1), and the second region has a second region fluid permeability score (PS2). The first region fluid permeability score (PS1) is different than the second region fluid permeability score (PS2). The first region fluid permeability score (PS1) and the second region fluid permeability score (PS2) are both greater than 5 Darcy.

A cover such as a sleeve or wrap that can work alone, or in combination with existing preservation processes, to improve the condition of utility wood poles is provided. The sleeve or wrap can improve protection as well as structurally bolster the wood poles in the field. The sleeve or wrap can also act to upgrade wood poles of a lower grade or quality to a higher grade or quality that would qualify it for use in the field, thereby increasing overall supply of wood poles available for grids.

A barrier fabric suitable as a backsheet for an underpad configured for a low air loss bed, in which the barrier fabric comprises a first nonwoven fabric including outermost spunbond layers and two or more fine-fiber containing nonwoven layers. Each of the nonwoven layers being treated with a non-fluorinated barrier coating (NFBC).

Nonwoven fabrics are provided that include a plurality of mono-component spunbond fibers comprising a polymeric material including a polymeric blend of (i) a TS7 value of at most about 30 as determined by a Tissue Softness Analyzer (TSA) from Emtec Innovative Testing Solutions; (ii) a HF value of at least about 40 as determined by a Tissue Softness Analyzer (TSA) from Emtec Innovative Testing Solutions; (iii) a delta value of at least 20, wherein the delta value is determined by subtracting the TS7 value from the HF value; (iv) a TS7 value that is from about 5% to about 35% lower than that of an identically constructed nonwoven fabric formed from 100% polypropylene; and (v) a HF value that is from about 5% to about 35% larger than that of an identically constructed nonwoven fabric formed from 100% polypropylene.
