20100030968	Methods of Cache Bounded Reference Counting - A computer implemented method of cache bounded reference counting for computer languages having automated memory management in which, for example, a reference to an object “Z” initially stored in an object “O” is fetched and the cache hardware is queried whether the reference to the object “Z” is a valid reference, is in the cache, and has a continuity flag set to “on”. If so, the object “O” is locked for an update, a reference counter is decremented for the object “Z” if the object “Z” resides in the cache, and a return code is set to zero to indicate that the object “Z” is de-referenced and that its storage memory can be released and re-used if the reference counter for the object “Z” reaches zero. Thereafter, the cache hardware is similarly queried regarding an object “N” that will become a new reference of object “O”.	02-04-2010

20150032075	FOLDED ABSORBENT ARTICLE WITH A FASTENING SYSTEM - A folded absorbent article is provided. The folded absorbent article includes an absorbent assembly including a liquid permeable inner layer, an outer layer, and an absorbent body. Each of a pair of ears extend outward from the back waist region and include a loop fastening component. A pair of spaced-apart hook fastening components are located on the outer layer in the front waist region, each being selectively engageable with a respective one of the loop fastening components in a wear configuration of the article. The absorbent article is folded such that the hook fastening components engage the back waist region, and such that a peak force required to disengage each of the hook fastening components from the back waist region is less than 120 grams-force when measured using a Diaper Opening Force Test.	01-29-2015
20150032076	ABSORBENT ARTICLE HAVING A FASTENING SYSTEM - A folded absorbent article is provided. The folded absorbent article includes an absorbent assembly having a liquid permeable inner layer, an outer layer, and an absorbent body between the inner and outer layers. The folded absorbent article further includes a pair of ears extending outward from absorbent assembly in the back waist region, with each ear including a loop fastening component, and a pair of spaced-apart hook fastening components on the outer layer in the front waist region. A pair of longitudinally extending foldlines are also provided in the front waist region. An outboard-most longitudinal edge of each of the hook fastening components is spaced apart from a respective side of the absorbent assembly, and an inboard-most longitudinal edge is spaced apart from a respective longitudinally extending foldline at least a distance equal to a predetermined process range.	01-29-2015
20150032077	ABSORBENT ARTICLE HAVING A FASTENING SYSTEM WITH LOW STIFFNESS - An absorbent article is provided. The absorbent article includes a bodyside liner, an outer cover, and an absorbent core between the liner and the outer cover. The absorbent article further includes a pair of ears extending outward from the opposite sides of the absorbent article, and a fastening system having a primary fastening system and a secondary fastening system. The primary fastening system includes a primary first fastening component disposed on each of the pair of ears and a primary second fastening component disposed on the outer surface of the article. The secondary fastening system includes a secondary second fastening component on each of the pair of ears and a corresponding secondary first fastening component on the outer surface of the article. Each of the secondary first fastening components has a stiffness in the longitudinal direction of the article of less than 185 milligrams according to a Gurley Stiffness Test.	01-29-2015
20150032078	ABSORBENT ARTICLE HAVING A FASTENING SYSTEM WITH A VISUAL CUE - An absorbent article has a chassis, a pair of ears extending transversely outward from opposite sides of the chassis, and a fastening system comprising a primary fastening system and a secondary fastening system. The secondary fastening system includes a secondary second fastening component located on each of the ears and a corresponding secondary first fastening component located on the outer surface of the article at a first waist portion. A ΔE value calculated using the Color Contrast Test between the secondary first fastening components uncovered by the ears and the secondary first fastening components covered by the ears is greater than 15.	01-29-2015

20140305600	SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO RETAIN AND REFEED DOOR CURTAINS - Systems and methods to retain and refeed door curtains are disclosed. An example door is disclosed that includes first and second tracks. The example door includes a retainer borne by the first track and an alignment guide associated with the first track. The example door also includes a curtain extending laterally between the first and second tracks. The curtain has a leading edge selectively movable between a closed position and an open position. The example door includes a primary projection borne by the curtain that is in guiding engagement with the retainer within the first track. The primary projection is dislodged from the track when the curtain is in the breakaway state. The example door includes a secondary projection borne by the curtain and arranged to travel outside of the alignment guide when the leading edge is traveling between the open position and the closed position.	10-16-2014
