  • Publication number: 20220409419
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a urine collection system for collecting and transporting urine away from the body. The system includes a urine collection device configured to be positioned at least proximate to a urethra of a user. The system includes a first tube in fluid communication with the urine collection device. The system includes a urine collection container configured to receive urine from the urine collection device. The urine collection container includes an exhaust port. The system also includes a second tube in fluid communication with the urine collection container and a pump configured to pull an at least partial vacuum in the urine collection container through the second tube to draw the urine from the urine collection device into the urine collection container. The pump includes an exhaust vent. The system also includes an odor filter located between the exhaust port and the exhaust vent.

  • Publication number: 20220287868
    Abstract: An example urine suction device suitable for extracting urine from a urine collection device is disclosed. The suction device can include a motor, a pump driven by the motor, a conduit, and an acoustic silencer. The pump can extract urine from a urine collection device. The acoustic silencer can be in fluid communication with the pump and conduit. The acoustic silencer can attenuate or reduce one or more acoustic waves generated by the pump and/or the motor. One or more components or structures within the acoustic silencer can at least partially attenuate the acoustic waves as they propagate along a non-linear airflow path defined by the acoustic silencer.

  • Patent number: 6244108
    Abstract: A wheel balancer (1) for balancing an alloy wheel (2) comprises a support housing (30) and a main shaft (36) onto which the wheel (2) is mounted. A sub-housing (35) rotatably carries the main shaft (36), imbalance forces in the main shaft (36) and their respective directions are monitored for determining the magnitude and angular positions of balance weights required for correcting imbalances in the wheel (2) in selected balancing planes (17) and (18). A telescoping extendible sensor arm (54) is pivotally mounted about a vertical pivot axis on the support housing (30) for detecting balance weight receiving locations on the inner surface (10) of a wheel hub (4) of the wheel (2) at the selected desired balancing planes (17) and (18).
