Let's see what KCC published in May/June 2008 as Internatonal Patents Applications. Some of them are really interesting but maybe it is too early to see something on the market that incorporates any of those. But maybe we could be wrong...
Many applications are related to sensors/devices that are included or embedded in diapers to detect something. Specifically those sensors could be real electronic devices or otherwise they can be a simple chemicalstrip. Anyway the final goal is to embed additional detecting/analisys feature in diapers. This feature could be very useful with babies but even with elder people that are not anymore cooperative to perform some urine analisys.
One application is related to a system to carry out quality check on diapers incorporating such a sensor.
Standard method using metal detector could be influenced by the metallic sensor and for this reason KCC propose new system: X-Ray machine.

Other applicatiosn are mainly related to define new systems to dispose of sanitary napkins and reduce odor of bodily fluids. Two systems are disclosed:
a.- using a pocket that is previously filled with substances acting as odor control
b.- using a release liner (to wrap the used sanitary napkin in) printed with a special ink with substances reducing odors
Other applications are related to pants design. One is related to an integral waistband for adult pants. It is interesting but seems already seen in other applications from Unicharm. A second application is more interesting and deal with a design of a body panel. This panel should helps wearer to break the pants, following specific lines of weakness positioned on the front of the pants and not on the side as usual,or adjust its size around torso after the pant is opened with specific reclosable tabs.
Other applications are related to raw materials (flushable film and elastic nonwoven)
