发明名称 Methods for analyzing absorbent articles
摘要 A method for analyzing an absorbent article may include providing a three-dimensional computed tomography data set comprising a mannequin image and an article image. The article image may be constructed from projections collected while the absorbent article is fitted to a mannequin. An outer surface of the mannequin image may be identified. A desired distance may be provided. A volumetric demarcation may be spaced the desired distance away from the outer surface of the mannequin image. An image volume may be disposed between the outer surface of the mannequin image and the volumetric demarcation. A relevant portion of the article image may be enhanced using a processor. The relevant portion of the article image may be coincident with the image volume.

主权项 1. A method for analyzing an absorbent article, the method comprising: providing an absorbent article on a mannequin; providing a predicted performance characteristic of the absorbent article; providing, using a processor, a first three-dimensional computed tomography data set of the absorbent article on the mannequin comprising a first article image; providing a second three-dimensional computed tomography data set of the absorbent article on the mannequin comprising a second article image; and comparing the first article image and the second article image to the predicted performance characteristic using a processor, wherein: the first three-dimensional computed tomography data set and the second three-dimensional computed tomography data set are constructed from projections collected while the absorbent article is fitted to the mannequin; the first article image is indicative of the absorbent article throughout a first time period; the second article image is indicative of the absorbent article throughout a second time period; and using the information to identify materials that provide better performance characteristics in terms of liquid absorption and containment, leak prevention, liquid dispersion and wicking, elasticity, or combinations thereof.
