ABSORBENT ARTICLE WITH SENSOR
The present disclosure provides an absorbent article for personal hygiene. More particularly, in one embodiment, the absorbent article absorbent article includes at least one property changing indicator. A detector device is also provided that includes at least one sensor. The sensor is adapted to detect the property change of the property change indicator in the absorbent article. In one particular embodiment, for example, the property changing indicator may include an optical property indicator such as a color change indicator and the sensor may include an optical sensor such as a color sensor.

Absorbent articles having channel-forming areas and wetness indicator
An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core having a longitudinally extending channel-forming area and a wetness indicator. The core wrap comprises a top side and a bottom side, which are attached to each other through areas substantially free of absorbent material, so that when the absorbent material swells upon absorption of a liquid a channel is formed along the area substantially free of absorbent material.
Disposable diaper having reduced absorbent core to backsheet gluing
The present disclosure generally relates to disposable diapers having absorbent cores comprising superabsorbent polymer particles which are immobilized by adhesive. The absorbent cores are attached to the backsheets of the disposable diapers in certain attachment zones to reduce see-through and the formation of tension lines on the backsheets.
ABSORBENT ARTICLES HAVING CHANNELS, STRETCHABLE WAISTBANDS AND BACK EARS
An absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core and at least one longitudinally-extending channel that is substantially free of absorbent material. The article further includes a stretchable back waistband extending transversally adjacent the back edge of the article and a pair of stretchable back ears. The back ears each include a fastening tab that can be releasably engaged with a landing zone on the garment-facing side of the article.
ABSORBENT ARTICLES HAVING CURVED CHANNELS
An absorbent article, such as a diaper or a training pant, having a wearer-facing side and a garment-facing side and a longitudinal axis, includes an absorbent core with at least two longitudinally extending curved channels and an air-through bonded carded nonwoven layer as topsheet or acquisition layer under the topsheet.
ABSORBENT ARTICLES HAVING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MATERIAL ON THE WEARER-FACING SIDE
An absorbent article includes a three-dimensional material on the wearer-facing side and an absorbent core with a material-free channel. The three-dimensional material comprises a fibrous support layer, a fibrous projection layer and a plurality of hollow projections formed from a first plurality of fibers in the projection layer.
ABSORBENT ARTICLES HAVING CHANNEL-FORMING AREAS AND WETNESS INDICATOR
An absorbent article having an absorbent core having a longitudinally extending channel-forming area and a wetness indicator is presented. The core wrap has a top side and a bottom side, which are attached to each other through areas substantially free of absorbent material, so that when the absorbent material swells upon absorption of a liquid a channel is formed along the area substantially free of absorbent material.
Incontinence detection system
Incontinence detection system is the title of our invention, described herein, which is designed to work along with any commercially available brief, for people having incontinence issues. The purpose of this complete incontinence management system is to provide a cost-effective solution by using sensor technology that automatically alerts caregivers to change the residents' diapers at precisely the right time. It uses a sensing system that wirelessly transmits individual wetness alerts to an application on a remote device. The system is ready for immediate use when detached from the soaked diaper, and brief changes are made at appropriate times offering the highest level of care to residents. The Pod allows for faster service delivery, less time spent in a wet brief, bringing great relief to residents and caregivers alike.
SENSOR ARRANGEMENT FOR SENSING A FILLING STATE OF AN ABSORBENT ARTICLE
A sensor arrangement for sensing a filling state of an absorbent article with a liquid absorbent layer, the sensor arrangement comprising a substrate, a plurality of planar capacitors, each one comprising a set of at least two corresponding capacitor electrodes being arranged next to each other on or in the substrate, and a plurality of conductor paths on or in the substrate connecting the capacitor electrodes toward terminals of a readout circuit, wherein at least two of said planar capacitors are connected in parallel.
