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: The present disclosure provides an ostomy appliance (1) comprising inner and outer walls (2, 3) of flexible sheet material. The inner wall (2) comprises a stomal inlet (20) and the outer wall (3) comprises a gas vent (27). A separation wall (4) is between the inner and outer walls (2, 3) forming separate first and second chambers (101, 102) and comprises a liquid and gas permeable separation filter (100). In use the first chamber (101) is arranged to receive stomal output directed into the ostomy appliance (1) via the stomal inlet (20). The separation filter (100) is arranged to communicate, from the stomal output in the first chamber (101), stomal liquid and stomal gas to the second chamber (102). The gas vent (27) is arranged to allow the stomal gas to migrate from the second chamber (102) to outside of the ostomy appliance (1).

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: A method of operating a vehicle sound system to enhance the driving experience of vehicle occupants. A vehicle-mounted sensor (such as a LIDAR or RADAR system) is used to identify an object in the vehicle environment. A database that may be stored on a remote server is queried, the database containing, in electronic form, a sound stored therein associated with the object. The sound may be a desirable or pleasant sound. The sound is download to the vehicle sound system and the sound system generates the sound in a vehicle cabin for enjoyment by the occupants. Other ambient sounds may be detected by an exterior microphone of the vehicle, characteristics and locations of the sound added to the database. A vehicle noise reduction system may be activated as the vehicle approaches the location when it is determined that the characteristic indicates that the ambient sound is undesirable.
