Abstract: The disclosure concerns an improved doormat having an anchored frame surrounding a center portion. A collapsible storage apparatus is rotatably coupled to the anchored frame and is configured to deploy into an expanded state and retract into a collapsed state. The collapsible storage apparatus is configured to store and secure delivered packages. In some embodiments, the center portion includes a doormat material disposed on an upper surface thereof. In some embodiments, the collapsible storage apparatus is disposed between the center portion and the anchored frame while in a collapsed state.

Abstract: An actuator includes a housing, a moving element and two springs connected between the housing and the moving element such that one of the two springs crosses the other of the two rotor springs without contacting the other of the two springs. A drive component causes the moving element to move.

Abstract: An adhesive ostomy wafer has a liner removed to expose adhesive and thus ready the adhesive ostomy wafer for adhesion to a user. The adhesive ostomy wafer includes a backing layer providing a distal surface of the adhesive ostomy wafer that is oriented to face away from skin of the user during use, an adhesive layer deposited onto the backing layer, with the adhesive layer providing a proximal surface of the adhesive ostomy wafer, an opening formed through the backing layer and the adhesive layer, with the opening adapted to fit around a stoma of the user, and a reinforcement structure located between the distal surface and the proximal surface of the adhesive ostomy wafer.

Abstract: The current document is directed to non-linear haptic actuators that use a rotor, rotor-suspension, and spring subsystem to efficiently generate vibrational forces in various types of devices and appliances in which the non-linear haptic actuators are incorporated. Non-linear haptic actuators can be designed and manufactured to be more space efficient than unbalanced-electric-motor and linear-resonant vibration modules and, because most of the frictional forces produced in unbalanced-electric-motor and linear-resonant vibration modules are eliminated from non-linear haptic actuators, non-linear haptic actuators are generally more power efficient and robust than unbalanced-electric-motor and linear-resonant vibration modules.

Abstract: A convex shell for use in a base plate of an ostomy appliance includes an annular ring with a through-going hole and a plurality of grooves extending transversely across the annular ring. The grooves alter the flexibility of the annular ring as a first portion of the annular ring is folded around a folding axis toward a second portion of the annular ring.

Abstract: A body side member of an ostomy appliance having backing film forming a distal surface, the distal surface including one or more individual pockets containing a moldable material that can exit the pockets.
