A roll of wet wipes comprising at least 300 linear inches of wet wipes has been patented.

The wipes having a width of not more than about 4.5 inches, are formed in a spiral, and have a peel force between the wipes of at least 100 grams. The rolls diameter is at lease 2 inches and no greater than about 5.5 inches.

Sodium silicate sodium silicate, any one of several compounds containing sodium oxide, Na2O, and silica, Si2O, or a mixture of sodium silicates. Sodium orthosilicate is Na4SiO4 (or 2Na2O·SiO2); sodium  coating process and products: No. 6,706,362; Van I. Doesburg and James E. Wilson, Jr., assignors to Textile Rubber & Chemical Co. Inc., Dalton, GA. Filed: 1/30/02. Issued: 3/16/04.

Patented is a a carpet product comprising a primary backing tufted with yarn to form a face pile on one side of the backing and loop backs on the other.

There is a polymer coating on the other side of the backing to secure the loop backs and a layer consisting essentially of silicate silicate, chemical compound containing silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals, e.g., aluminum, barium, beryllium, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, or zirconium. Silicates may be considered chemically as salts of the various silicic acids.  formed on the polymer coating. There is also a layer of polyurethane disposed on the layer of silicate.

Impact Absorbing Member for Vehicle: No. 6,706,365; Kouji Akasaka and Takashi Koike, assignors to Moriroku Kabushiki Kaisha, Tokyo. Filed: 10/18/01. Issued: 3/16/04.

An impact absorbing member for a vehicle comprising more than one synthetic resin foams arranged in a stack has been patented.

Each foam is comprised of a hard skin layer and a foamed layer entirely enclosed within the skin layer, wherein more than one irregular sections of projections and depressions that mate with each other are formed by superimposed su·per·im·pose

Textile Mesh Structure, In Particular, a Geotextile: No. 6,706,376; Ulrich Von Fransecky, assignor ASSIGNOR. One who makes an assignment; one who transfers property to another.
     2. In general the assignor can limit the operation of his assignment, and impose whatever condition he may think proper, but when he makes a general assignment in trust for the use of
 to Huesker Synthetic GmbH, Gescher, Germany. Filed: 3/17/00. Issued: 3/16/04.

A patent has been issued for a textile mesh structure comprising linearly extending warp threads. There are linearly extending weft threads positioned substantially at a right angle to the warp threads. Fixing threads are arranged to join the warp and weft threads, and are applied by warp knitting them to the form thread meshes.

These thread meshes are arranged to extend around the warp threads over the entire length of the warp and weft threads in regions in which the warp threads and weft threads intersect. The warp and weft treads are arranged one of individually or in groups at relatively large spacings in order to form internal widths.

When the warp threads and weft threads intersect, lengths of the thread meshes are shorter than in regions between intersect regions.

Small Cross-section Composites of Longitudinally Oriented Fibers and a Thermoplastic Resin as Concrete Reinforcement: No. 6,706,380 B2; Christopher M. Edwards and Edward L. D'Hooghe, assignors to Dow Global Technologies Inc., Midland, MI. Filed: 1/8/01. Issued: 3/16/04.

A reinforced concrete structure has been patented. The structure is comprised of a composite having more than one longitudinally oriented fibers embedded in a matrix of a depolymerizable and repolymerizable. rigid thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene.  polyurethane resin that has a glass transition temperature The glass transition temperature is the temperature below which the physical properties of amorphous materials vary in a manner similar to those of a solid phase (glassy state), and above which amorphous materials behave like liquids (rubbery state).  (Tg) of at least 50[degrees] C.

There is also a hard segment content (defined as the proportion of the weight of the TPU TPU - Text Processing Utility  that is made up of chain extender See Media Center Extender, bus extender and DOS extender.  and pelyisocyanate residues) of at least 75 percent, the composite having a maximum cross-sectional dimension of not more than 5 mm and an aspect ratio of at least 10, which is embedded in concrete for reinforcement.

Polyester fiber tow having substantially uniform primary and secondary crimps: No. 6,706,393; Vladimir Y. Raskin, Edwin Starke Farley, Jr., Frederick Lee Travelute, III and Mendel Lyde Poston, Jr., Pamplico, assignors to Wellman Inc., Shrewsbury, N.J. Filed: 3/29/03. Issued: 3/16/04.

A patent has been issued for a polyester fiber tow comprised of a number of crimped crimped

said of grain that has been passed through corrugated rollers after previous exposure to moist heat so that the grain is fractured but there is a minimum of dust.
 polyester fibers with uniform primary and secondary crimps.

Each uniform secondary crimp crimp

a regular wave formation of small dimensions, e.g. the crimp of wool fibers epitomized in the Merino breed and its derivatives.


crimp marks
marks made by wrinkling the x-ray film while holding it between the fingers.
 includes more than one of the substantially uniform primary crimps with a tensile factor possessed by said crimped polyester fibers about the same as the tensile factor possessed by an otherwise identical uncrimped polyester fiber, and wherein the average coefficient of primary crimp non-uniformity (Kn) possessed by said polyester fiber tow is less than about 10.8 percent.

Nanotube A carbon molecule that resembles a cylinder made out of chicken wire one to two nanometers in diameter by any number of millimeters in length. Accidentally discovered by a Japanese researcher at NEC in 1990 while making Buckyballs, they have potential use in many applications.  Films and Articles: No. 6,706,402; Thomas Rueckes and Brent M. Segal, assignors to Nantero, Inc., Woburn, MA. Filed: 4/23/02. Issued: 3/16/04.

A patent has been issued for a conductive article comprising a non-woven aggregate of nanotube segments wherein nanotube segments contact other nanotube segments to define more than one conductive pathways along the article.

Absorbent absorbent /ab·sor·bent/ (-sor´bent)
1. able to take in, or suck up and incorporate.

2. a tissue structure involved in absorption.

3. a substance that absorbs or promotes absorption.
 Article: No. 6,706,030; Thomas Rueckes, Watertown and Brent M. Segal, assignors to Kao Corporation, Tokyo, Japan. Filed: 10/24/01. Issued: 3/16/04.

A patent has bee issued for an absorbent article which comprises a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable antileakage sheet and a liquid-retentive absorbent core.

The absorbent article is provided with upstanding guards along longitudinal left and right opposing side portions thereof. Each of the upstanding guards are provided with a plurality of upstanding guard elastic members which form a gather in a widthwise width·wise
