A method for patterning a second layer of a work piece in a direct write machine in the manufacturing of a multilayer system-in-package stack. The work piece having a first layer with a plurality of electrical components in the form of dies arbitrarily placed. Each component having connection points where some need to be connected between the components. A first pattern wherein different zones comprising connection points of dies distributed in the first layer are associated with different requirements on alignment. The method comprising the steps of: a. Detecting sacred zones in first pattern that have a high requirement on alignment to selected features of the system-in-package stack or to the placed components; b. Detecting stretch zones of the first pattern that are allowed to have a lower requirement on alignment to other features of the system-in-package stack; c. Transforming the first pattern by calculating adjusted first pattern data comprising transformation of the original circuit pattern such that: i. connection points in adjacent sacred zones are aligned within a pre-settable alignment deviation parameter; and such that ii. deviations between the positions of corresponding connection points in the sacred zones are compensated for in the pattern for connection points of the stretch zones; d. writing a pattern on the layer of the work piece according to the adjusted pattern data. The first pattern may also be simultaneously matched to a second pattern.

A long obliquely stretched film is obtained having an orientation axis in a direction with an angle θs of 10° or more and 85° or less from a width direction by grasping both side ends in the width direction of a longitudinally stretched film with an average retardation Re1 by grasping means; stretching the film under a condition that a long obliquely stretched film sample with an average retardation Re2 (Re2 is smaller than Re1) can be obtained and traveling speeds of the grasping means are substantially equal at the film both side ends through a preheating zone, a stretching zone and a fixing zone; releasing the both side ends of the film from the grasping means; and taking it up around a winding core.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a protective sports glove having a novel combination of liner sections, breathable mesh sections, stretch joints, and shock absorbing cushions to provide maximum protection to the user's fingers, hands, wrists, and lower forearms while maintaining as much flexibility within the glove and tactile feel on both palmar and dorsal sides of the glove as possible. The pattern and construction employs strategically-placed stretch zones, strategic padding placement, and a variety of improved padding constructions all for more flex without compromising protection.

An absorbent article may have at least one stretch zone comprising a slow recovery elastomer wherein the slow recovery elastomer exhibits a normalized unload force of greater than about 0.04 N / mm2 at 37° C.; and the slow recovery elastomer exhibits at least about 20% post elongation strain at 22° C. after 15 seconds of recovery from a 400% strain. The absorbent article may additionally comprises one or more of a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, an absorbent core, an ear, a side panel, a waist feature, a fastener component, a leg cuff, a gasketing cuff, and a barrier cuff, wherein the feature comprises at least a part of the stretch zone.

Apparatus and methods for stretching one or more zones of a web are disclosed. Webs including stretched or activated zones are also disclosed. Each of the zones in the web is stretched in the cross-web direction, i.e., the direction transverse to the down-web direction. The stretching it can be performed continuously as the web is advancing through the apparatus in the down-web direction. The stretching can occur in the absence of physical contact with the stretched zone of the web. Strain induced on the stretched zones can be introduced gradually over a stretch distance. The strain may increase at a linear rate. The stretching methods and apparatus may be used to activate an elastic zone or zones within a web.

Absorbent articles with stretch direction properties are disclosed, having at least three stretch zones. A first edge zone and a second edge zone are separated by a middle zone. The middle zone, which may the same length as each edge zone, has different stretch-direction characteristics than the edge zones. The middle zone may stretch in a single direction, whereas the edge zones may stretch in a different single direction or in bi- or multi-axial directions. The flaps may be created from the edge zones. Through this construction, the absorbent article exhibits improved fit and appearance.
