Abstract: The inventive concept is directed to a circular cutting device, especially designed or used in cutting circular wafer in an ostomy application. The device consists of a handle having at one end thereof a circular backup plate. On top of the backup plate is located a plastic cutting receiving plate. The circular backup plate has at its center a threaded rod to receive a circular cup thereon. The cup has at its lower circular edge a razor-like cutting edge which will cut a perfect wafer when screwed down onto the plastic cutting receiving plate by way of the threaded rod.

Abstract: A manifold for ostomy bag irrigation, including an inlet member having a channel defined therein, a T-member having a channel defined therein and in fluid communication with the inlet member, a left tube having a plurality of apertures defined therein and having one end coupled to the T-member, a right tube having a plurality of apertures defined therein and having one end coupled to the T-member, a left cap having a channel defined therein and coupled to the second end of the left tube, and a right cap having a channel defined therein and coupled to the second end of the right tube.

Abstract: A colostomy bag having a cleansing system wherein the bag is cleaned while in its operable position associated with the person. More specifically, the system mounts a manifold within the colostomy bag with an access to water under pressure from outside, the manifold providing a spray dispersion of fluid, or cleansing water, at the top of the bag and gravity then drips it down through the bag and out the open bottom end, with the residue of the bag being washed out by the water and passing into a toilet. The user can thus easily flush the bag to complete cleaning with all residue from the bag passing into the toilet. A water source from the toilet itself, or other suitable water supply, provides the water under pressure to the manifold inside the top of the colostomy bag.

Abstract: A closed drainage system for irrigating colostomy bags wherein the bag is irrigated and cleaned while in its operable position associated with the person. More specifically, the invention mounts a manifold within the colostomy bag with an access to a water pressure from outside, the manifold providing a spray dispersion of fluid, or water preferably, at the top of the bag and gravity then drips it down through the bag and out the open bottom, preferably with the residue of the bag being washed out by the water and passing into a toilet where the user flushes the bag to completion of cleaning with all residue from the bag passing into the toilet. A water source from the toilet itself, or other suitable water supply, provides the pressured water to the manifold inside the top of the colostomy bag.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for improving the efficiency of combustion, particularly in internal combustion engines, are disclosed. Air is circulated at a substantially constant, controlled rate from a blower or compressor through a control valve to a plurality of release points beneath a catalyzing or catalyst-forming liquid, such as water, and is released in such a manner as to ensure the slow growth of relatively large bubbles. These bubbles break at the liquid surface, and the catalyst-laden air is then returned to the gas impelling means, e.g. blower or compressor, in which it is mixed with more air and returned to the system. A portion of the catalyst-laden air is directed to the combustion device, e.g. the carburetor or intake manifold of an internal combustion engine, the remainder being returned to contact with the catalyzing or catalyst-forming liquid.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for improving the efficiency of combustion in burners is disclosed. Air is circulated at a substantially constant controlled rate from a blower or compressor through a control valve to a release point beneath a catalyzing or catalyst-forming liquid, such as water, and is released beneath such surface in such a manner as to ensure the slow growth of relatively large bubbles. These bubbles break at the liquid surface, and the catalyst-laden air is then returned to the gas impelling means, in which it is mixed with more air and returned to the system. A portion of the catalyst-laden air is directed to the combustion device, e.g. the oil burner, at a point between the air impelling means and the bubble chamber, preferably at a point between the air impelling device and the first control valve.
