  • Patent number: 10814047
    Abstract: Fluid collection systems and methods are disclosed which may utilize suction to draw fluids into containers for storage and eventual disposal. The system may utilize rigid or semi-rigid canisters to provide a chamber in which fluids may be collected under negative pressure, stored, and transported. The system may utilize disposable or reusable flexible, semi-rigid, or rigid liners for isolating fluid and liquid waste from the walls of the canister. In various embodiments, either a single canister assembly or multiple canister assemblies are mounted to a manifold, the manifold being configured to support each canister assembly and/or provide a connection to a source of suction for each canister assembly.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7495667
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer software application which integrates video, animation and sound file formats into a unified work environment. The proposed invention includes a unified timeline and a unified visual manipulation environment. By combining these formats into a unified and native format environment the user is able to change and manipulate the video, animation and sound files in relation to one another in a single environment, in their native format and in a non destructive manner. The media inputs are first presented to the user in a single timeline which is a simultaneous visual representation of the files being worked on. The software application also includes an environment which is designed to add a visual set of tools enabling the user to visually manipulate the files represented in the timeline. The operation of the disclosed software application may be described as a universal plug.
