Abstract: An ostomy appliance comprising: first and second walls connected to each other at or near their peripheries, the first wall having a stoma-receiving opening; a connection member connected to the first wall for attaching the appliance to a user; an aperture located in either of the first and/or second walls for permitting waste gases to exit the appliance; and a multi-layer filter positioned adjacent and covering the aperture on an exterior surface of the respective first and/or second wall. A layer of the filter is hydrophobic and the hydrophobic layer is positioned directly adjacent the respective first and/or second wall. The hydrophobic layer has a first side and a second side, where the first side is connected directly to the respective first and/or second wall, and the connection holds the multi-layer filter relative to the wall.

Abstract: An ostomy appliance including: first and second walls connected to each other at or near their peripheries, the first wall having a stoma-receiving opening; a connection member connected to the first wall for attaching the appliance to a user; a waste collecting chamber defined by the first and second walls for receiving waste and/or gas from the stoma-receiving opening; a further chamber defined by at least third and fourth walls which are connected to each other; a gas opening provided in either or both of the third or fourth walls for permitting waste gases to pass therethrough from the waste collecting chamber; a gas vent for permitting gases in the further chamber to escape to atmosphere; and wherein movement of the first and second walls away from each other, from waste or gases entering the waste collecting chamber, increases or at least maintains the volume of the further chamber.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a control system, a suspension system, a vehicle and a method. A control system comprising one or more controllers is configured to: receive at least one vehicle dynamics signal, wherein the at least one vehicle dynamics signal is indicative of a vehicle dynamics parameter, determine a current dynamic usage of a vehicle in dependence on the received at least one vehicle dynamics signal, determine a control parameter for an actuator of the vehicle in dependence at least in part on the current dynamic usage of the vehicle, and output a control signal to control the actuator in dependence on the control parameter.

Abstract: A shape card for self-assessment of a shape of a hair includes a first part, a second part, and a third part. The first part includes one or more first reference markers for assessing a number of hair waves. The second part includes one or more second reference markers for assessing hair curvature. The third part includes one or more descriptors each describing a target hair shape. The target hair shape is a result of a combination of one of the one or more first reference markers and one of the one or more second reference markers.
