Publication number: 20230083546Abstract: An ostomy output diversion device is used to cover and seal closely around a patient's stoma, to divert stoma effluent output through the device, into a container or reservoir, temporarily eliminating the need of an adhesive-based ostomy pouching system. The ostomy output diversion device is placed over the person's stoma, with the base ring surrounding the peristomal skin, the adjustable inner tube is retracted until the base ring is centered over the stoma, the body support strap is then placed over the device to secure it to the patient's body, the inner tube is then extended over the stoma, the patient applies the desired pressure against the skin, then secures the inner tube in place with the pressure adjustment lock. The device may also include an ostomy pouch mounting ring for attachment to an ostomy pouch, and a disposable receptacle.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Bruce M Johnson, Theresa G Johnson, Reed B Johnson, Ashley Davis

Publication number: 20200081269Abstract: A method for measuring an influence of an ophthalmic lens design is disclosed. The method comprises splitting an optical light beam into a wavefront measurement light path and a wavefront modulation light path; implementing the ophthalmic lens design in an adaptive optics device positioned in the wavefront modulation light path; and obtaining ocular biometric data in the ocular biometric and wavefront measurement light path to measure the influence of the ophthalmic lens design. Also disclosed are an apparatus and a system for measuring an influence of an ophthalmic lens design along with a method for assembling the device and system. The ocular biometric device may be an interferometer and the adaptive optics device may comprise one or more wavefront shapers.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2018Publication date: March 12, 2020Inventors: Michael John Collins, Brett Ashley Davis, Fan Yi

Publication number: 20150036102Abstract: The invention provides an ophthalmic lens comprising one or more oblique prismatic component, wherein the lens slows myopia progression and/or treats or prevents myopia or a disease or condition associated with myopia. The one or more oblique prismatic components may be base-down or base-down and base-in or base up and base-in. The one or more oblique prismatic components may be central and/or in a distance and/or near zone of the ophthalmic lens. The invention also provides an ophthalmic lens comprising a central base-down prism in a distance zone wherein the lens slows myopia progression and/or treats or prevents myopia or a disease or condition associated with myopia. Also provided is an optical device comprising one or more ophthalmic lenses and a method of slowing myopia progression and/or treating or preventing myopia or a disease or condition associated with myopia including using one or more ophthalmic lenses.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2013Publication date: February 5, 2015Applicant: Queensland University of TechnologyInventors: Atanu Ghosh, Michael John Collins, Scott Andrew Read, Brett Ashley Davis

Patent number: 8866055Abstract: The present disclosure describes a fabric cover for covering objects in a microwave. In an exemplary embodiment, the fabric cover is a fitted fabric cover (preferably made from organic or natural cotton material) that has a drawstring that can be used to secure the cover over a microwavable item. The fabric cover for microwave allows for food to be heated and keeps the microwave clean by covering the food and preventing it from splattering the inside of the microwave.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2010Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Splatterstop, LLCInventor: Ashley Davis

Publication number: 20050171341Abstract: In basic research and drug discovery there is a need to provide protein reagents with high activity. In particular proteins that are used in assays must have a good shelf life and a consistent activity. As a system of measuring actin polymerization, pyrene labeled actin was developed in 1983 by Kouyama and Mihashi. However, prior to this disclosure, pyrene actin has been impossible to store for longer than one month because the activity would be lost due to protein denaturation and frozen pyrene actin immediately lost activity. This disclosure relates a method for stabilizing pyrene labeled actin for extended storage times and an optimal storage buffer thus creating a reproducible source of pyrene actin for various assays. Using the processes described herein, pyrene actin has been stored for greater than 3 years at 4° C. which makes it a viable product for retail.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2004Publication date: August 4, 2005Inventors: Ashley Davis, Kim Middleton
