Abstract: An ostomy appliance has a waste collection container and an anti-reflux component disposed inside of the waste collection container. The anti-reflux component is connected to the top end portion of the waste collection container only above a center of an inlet opening for a stoma.

Abstract: Disclosed is a collecting bag configured to collect urine or stomal fluids from a stoma of a user, particularly a urostomy. Further discloses is an anti-reflux component to prevent reflux of collected fluids from a collecting volume to an inlet opening of a collecting bag. The anti-reflux component includes interior, proximal and distal contoured sheets connected to each other such as to define a passage between them towards the collecting volume. The sheets are further attached to each other to define two or more non linear connection zones.

Abstract: A hearing device, e.g. a hearing aid, is configured to be worn by a user, e.g. fully or partially on the head of the user, comprises a) an input transducer for converting a sound comprising a target sound from a target talker and possible additional sound in an environment of the user, when the user wears the hearing device, to an electric sound signal representative of said sound, b) an auxiliary input unit configured to provide an auxiliary electric signal representative of said target signal or properties thereof, c) a processor connected to said input transducer and to said auxiliary input unit, and wherein said processor is configured to apply a processing algorithm to said electric sound signal, or a signal derived therefrom, to provide an enhanced signal by attenuating components of said additional sound relative to components of said target sound in said electric sound signal, or said signal derived therefrom. The auxiliary electric signal is derived from visual information, e.g.

Abstract: A three dimensional (3D) track ball system includes a housing having top wall with a circular aperture. A track ball is rotatably mounted in the housing so as to protrude through the aperture. In a preferred embodiment, three supporting elements in the housing rotatably support the track ball. The supporting balls are mounted and journalled in positions in which their respective centers are located in a plane that is parallel with the top wall of the housing, and define an equilateral triangle that is coaxially aligned with the aperture. The centers of the supporting balls are located relative to the center of the track ball so as to define an orthogonal coordinate system, including three orthogonal coordinate axes.
