The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles comprising belts comprising one or more pluralities of tightly spaced (less than 4 mm, less than 3 mm, less than 2 mm, and less than 1 mm) and/or low decitex (less than 300, less than 200, less than 100 dtex) and/or low strain (less than 300%, less than 200%, less than 100%) elastics to deliver low pressure less than 1 psi (according to the conditions defined by the Pressure-Under-Strand Test in the Method below) under the elastics, while providing adequate modulus of (between about 2 gf/mm and 15 gf/mm), resulting in a Donning-Ratio from about 1.0 and about 3 to make the article easy to apply and to comfortably maintain the article in place on the wearer.

A cable processing device includes a cable conveying device running along a machine longitudinal axis transporting a cable, and a cable changer selectively supplying cables for processing. The cable changer has two guide units for guiding and holding one cable each and being movable between inoperative and active positions. In the inoperative position, the guide unit is positioned outside the cable conveying device spaced from the machine axis. In the active position, the guide unit is positioned coaxially with the machine axis producing an operative connection to the cable conveying device. The guide units are movable independently of each other. When one of the guide units is moved from the inoperative position into the active position, the other guide unit remains positionally fixed in the inoperative position. When the guide units are both in their inoperative positions, they are positioned lying next to each other on a common horizontal plane.

The disclosure includes systems and devices for collaborative moving of a push-cable. Such systems and devices include cable-storage drum devices used to store and dispense/retract a push-cable, generally via motors or like machine-driven force, and cable-storage drum devices used to direct and impart machine-driven force in moving the push-cable as well as push-cable moving systems employing a cable-storage drum device and a cable-storage drum device. The cable-storage drum devices and cable-handling devices as well as systems of the present invention may be communicatively linked in generating corresponding movements of the push-cable. The disclosure further includes methods associated with such push-cable moving systems and a cleaning element apparatus that may be used in a cable-storage drum device, push-cable handling device, or both in cleaning a push-cable prior to retraction.

The wire feeding device that feeds welding wire W from the wire source to the welding torch is disposed between the wire source and the welding torch and is configured to temporarily accommodate the welding wire W fed from the wire source and to feed the accommodated welding wire W to the welding torch. In the case where feeding of welding wire W is abnormally stopped, if the acceptance unit accepts instructions for increasing or decreasing, the wire feeding device controls the speed of feeding welding wire W fed by the first feeding part or the second feeding part so that a difference is generated in the feeding speed of the first feeding part and the second feeding part and the accommodated amount of welding wire W is in a range from the lower limit of normal to an upper limit of normal.

A wire feeding system, in particular for feeding a so called cold wire or wire with no tension nor signal running on its surface, in which the pulling or holding of the wire by the front wire feeder puts the rear pushing slave booster respectively into a pre-set active full motor torque or into a pre-set stand-by minimum motor torque, as needed. Alternatively, a wire feed system for feeding a so called cold wire or wire with no tension nor signal running on its surface, in which the rear pushing slave booster is remotely controlled by an optic sensor positioned nearby the torch and sensing the light of the torch welding or spraying arc.

An auxiliary wire feeder has a pushing device for advancing welding wire, a control device for controlling the pushing device, and an electric contact adapted for being in electrical connection with the welding wire. The electric contact is connected to the control device for supplying a control signal to the control device. A welding system comprises an auxiliary wire feeder of this kind and further a welding torch, a main wire feeder, a wire guide for guiding welding wire from a supply to the welding torch and a welding current contact for supplying welding current to the welding wire. For controlling an auxiliary wire feeder in a welding system having a welding torch, a main wire feeder, a wire guide for guiding welding wire from a supply to the welding torch, a welding current contact for supplying welding current to the welding wire, the control of the auxiliary welding wire feeder is responsive to an electrical signal transmitted via the welding wire.
