Publication number: 20240130886Abstract: In general, the present invention is directed to systems and methods for providing ostomy faceplates in proximity to negative pressure wound devices. This may be achieved, for example through the use of an ostomy appliance or faceplate with a non-circular flange for attachment of a bag or pouch. In accordance with some embodiments, this non-circular flange may be substantially “D”-shaped, and/or have at least one substantially straight edge. In some embodiments, the ostomy faceplate may itself be noncircular and/or “D”-shaped; may include a cutting guide for cutting materials used with an NPWD; may contain an asymmetrically located aperture; and/or may comprise one or more tapered edges.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Rosemary Granet, Paul Jason Granet, Gregory M.

Patent number: 9025486Abstract: Methods are described that are used to identify quality problems in a wireless communication network as experienced by a user-session of a mobile computing device, and quantify the quality of network transmission associated with the user-session. The quality of transmission during a user-session can then be used to characterize the network quality as experienced by an end user. One benefit of applying the described methods is that the actual quality of network transmissions experienced in a user-session is quantified rather than being inferred from the performance of a radio access network (“RAN”) transceiver. The described methods are used in some examples to determine network quality issues related to user-session characteristics, such as location and mobile computing device type.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2013Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: NetScout Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jason Murphy, Gregory Mayo
