Abstract: An ostomy appliance having an appliance wall of flexible sheet material forming a cavity for containing a stomal output. The wall has a stomal inlet for receiving the stomal output and a gas vent for allowing the stomal gas to migrate out of the cavity. A filter arrangement is mounted to the appliance wall and has a filter channel extending from a filter channel inlet to a filter channel outlet. The filter channel inlet is located in the cavity for receiving the stomal output from the cavity and the filter channel outlet is mounted in communication with the gas vent for allowing stomal gas to migrate out of the filter channel to the gas vent. A separation element extends along the filter channel for maintaining the filter channel in an open configuration along part of the filter channel for allowing stomal gas to pass therethough.

Abstract: An ostomy appliance that has inner and outer walls of flexible sheet material joined together to define a cavity for containing a stomal output, the inner wall having an inlet for receiving the stomal output into the cavity, a retractable drain being slidably movable between an extended configuration for draining the stomal output from the cavity and a retracted configuration for storage of the drain, and a guide panel arranged on the inner wall or the outer wall, thereby defining a channel for receiving the retractable drain.

Abstract: An ostomy appliance comprising a main body portion comprising an inner wall and an outer wall of flexible sheet material joined together to define a cavity for containing a stomal output; the inner wall comprising an inlet for receiving the stomal output into the cavity; the ostomy appliance further comprising an outer comfort layer overlying at least a portion of the outer wall; wherein the outer comfort layer comprise a first part and a second part which are joined to the outer wall so that the first part partially overlaps the second part in an overlap region, wherein the first part and the second part are separable from each other in the overlap region to form a window opening for viewing the cavity; wherein the overlap region is angled obliquely to a horizontal direction when the ostomy appliance is orientated as it would be in use.

Abstract: An example electronic device comprises a first portion including a display, a second portion, a hinge movably coupling the first portion to the second portion, and a flex-protection mechanism. The flex-protection mechanism includes a first magnetic component, a retractable bumper coupled to a second magnetic component, and a third magnetic component. In response to movement of the first portion between an open position and a closed position and magnetic interactions between the second magnetic component, the first magnetic component, and the third magnetic component, the retractable bumper moves between a retracted position and a protruded position.

Abstract: A method for controlling a display system of a motor vehicle via a controller is provided. An image is generated on a surface of the motor vehicle, and an object placed on the surface is detected. The image is adjusted such that at least a portion of the image is moved from a first area of the surface in which the object has been detected to a second area of the surface. A display system for a motor vehicle configured to perform the method is also provided.

Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus can include an arm, a cam connected to the arm, a first spring located around a first strut, where the first spring is oriented at a first angle relative to a base of the apparatus and the first strut is connected to the cam, a second spring located around a second strut, where the second spring is oriented at a second angle relative to the base of the apparatus and the second strut is connected to the cam, where the first spring and the second spring linearly compress in response to rotation of the arm from a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation relative to the base of the apparatus.

Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus can include an arm and a cover connected to the arm, where the cover conceals an inner portion of the apparatus when the arm is in a vertical orientation relative to a base of the apparatus, and the cover is concealed in the inner portion of the apparatus when the arm is in a horizontal orientation relative to the base of the apparatus.

Abstract: A waste collection bag adapted for use by a person having a colostomy, an ileostomy, or a urostomy. The waste collection bag has a rear wall, a front wall on an opposite side of the waste collection bag from the rear wall, and a waste inlet formed in the rear wall of the waste collection bag. The waste inlet sized to fit around a stoma that has been formed through skin of the person. At least the front wall of the waste collection bag has a wall color characterized by a color value measured by a CMYK color code system, where the color value is in a range of: M from 0 to 15; Y from 0 to 10; and K from 10 to 25.

Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus can include a first support member housing a first spring, a second support member housing a second spring, a top crossbar member connected to the first support member and the second support member, and a base crossbar member connected to the first support member and the second support member, where the first support member, the second support member, and the top crossbar member translate relative to the base crossbar member in response to an applied force.

Abstract: In one example, a friction hinge includes a link connected to a slide slot of a first base with a movable shaft and connected to a base friction mechanism of a second base with a link friction mechanism, where the link includes a joint positioned between the movable shaft and the link friction mechanism.
