20120035563	Absorbent Articles with Intricate Graphics - Absorbent articles are disclosed that have been printed with active graphics alone or in combination with permanent graphics to create a wetness indicator. Different active graphic compositions and/or permanent graphic compositions are combined so as to make the wetness indicator very prominent on the article. In addition, when the absorbent article is wetted, the active graphics undergo a change that is easily noticed by the wearer or the caregiver for the wearer. In one embodiment, for instance, active graphics are positioned within a distinctive frame. The frame focuses a person's attention onto the active graphics. The active graphics fill most of the surface area of the frame such that when the absorbent article is wetted, a clearly noticeable change occurs.	02-09-2012

20090089099	METHODS FOR TRACKING BAGS OF BLOOD AND BLOOD PRODUCTS - The invention involves a method for tracking bags containing biological fluids for dispensing within a human body, including, but not limited to human blood and plasma. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining a bag configured and arranged for sterile, aseptic, and stable retention of biological fluids; placing a quantity of the biological fluids into the bag; providing a first information-processing device with a data-input device and with a data-transfer device, said data-transfer device capable of writing data that has been input into the information-processing device, into a data-storage chip in a manner readable by a second information-processing device; affixing to the bag a readable/writeable data-storage chip; collecting fluid-data about the biological fluid; and inputting data, such as the fluid-data, into the first information-processing device for data transfer onto the chip. The readable/writeable data-storage chip is capable of interfacing with the first and second information-processing devices. The first information-processing device can write data to the data-storage chip and the second information-processing device can read of the data on the chip.	04-02-2009
