International Classification:

D21H 1100

US Classification:

162109, 162100, 162111, 162117, 162123, 162158, 1621811, 4285375

Abstract:

The present invention encompasses a machine direction extensible noncalendered fibrous web produced by a transfer system of at least eight percent negative draw including a matrix of fibrous web material having a wet mullen burst at least about 10 percent greater than a convex transfer system produced web. In addition, the matrix of fibrous material has a wet mullen burst of at least about 74500 pascals. Moreover, the matrix of fibrous web material has a GMBL ranging from about 2047 to about 2704. Furthermore, the matrix of fibrous web material includes fibers, which may be selected from the group consisting of a bonded carded web, spunbonded web, meltblown fiber web, and multi-ply fibrous web. Moreover, the matrix of fibrous web material may have an elmendorf tear greater than about 66. 5 centinewton.

Abstract:

A device to encourage hand washing compliance in a facility such as a restroom includes a housing configured for detachably mounting on a support surface. An ambient light sensor is disposed relative to the housing to detect ambient light within the room. An audio device within the housing contains at least one audible hand washing compliance message track that is played over a speaker within the housing. A controller is in operable communication with the ambient light sensor and the audio device, and activates the device upon determining whether a threshold amount of ambient light is present in the room.

Abstract:

A method for awarding equity rewards from social activity in a virtual social media platform enables the administrator of a social media platform to reward members of the social media platform with equity ownership based on the member's actions, activity and ability to attract other to the network. The method for awarding equity rewards from social activity in a virtual social media platform employs an activity monitor module that monitors the social media network for social actions performed by users, a points assignment module that assigns equity points to a user's account in response to that user's social activity on the network, a tracking for storing all social actions performed on the network and equity points assigned to users, and a points redemption module that facilitates the redemption of equity points for shares of equity in the social media platform.

Abstract:

A method of retrieving categorical data entries through an interactive graphical abstraction employs a generate categorical post entries process and a load categorical post entries process. Through the generate categorical post entries process, post entries generated by a user are automatically associated in a user post entry database table with a specific BranchID value of which the posting user is the OwnerUserID, thereby enabling retrieval thereof. Through the loading categorical post entries process, a user a desired branch of a an interactive graphical abstraction on a graphical user interface, thereby causing each post entry in the database from a user on the branch selected by the user through the interactive graphical abstraction to be pulled for display or storage.
