Abstract: The ostomy bag (10) includes a multi-stage filter system
that provides contamination protection for a deodorizing
filter (40) in the system. The multi-stage filter system
also includes a gas transmissible protection filter (70)
that is impassible to semi-liquid waste material. The
protection filter (70) is located in the ostomy bag to
precede the deodorizing filter (40) such that gaseous
waste must pass through the protection filter before it
passes through the deodorizing filter. In one embodiment
of the invention wherein the ostomy bag has a single
chamber, the protection filter is a two layer structure
with different pore counts that overlay the deodorizing
filter. In another embodiment of the invention wherein
the ostomy bag has dual chambers, the protection filter
(146), without overlaying the deodorizing filter (40), is
disposed across the flow path of gaseous waste to the
deodorizing filter such that any gaseous waste that
reaches the deodorizing filter must flow through the
protection filter. Thus semi-liquid waste material cannot
contact the deodorizing filter since it cannot bypass the
protection filter to reach the deodorizing filter.

Abstract: A device tree (10) indicating devices coupled to a
computer system (120) is available from an operating
system (30). Within the device tree (10) are device
nodes which specify a particular device's name and a
property which indicates compatible device names to the
device. For a particular device, the system constructs a
candidate list of drivers by comparing the device name
and the compatible names from the device tree (10)
against all the driver names of data fields of all known
drivers. The candidate list is sorted so that matches by
device name and proper version number are higher
priority. The system then sequentially attempts
installation of the drivers from the candidate list
based on priority to determine the appropriate driver.
Drivers that cause an error are skipped, as are those
that do not properly configure the device. The process
is operable on boot up and upon any system change that
allows more drivers to be recognized.
