Abstract: A continent ostomy port device has a face plate defining a selectively sealable aperture which is alignable with the opening of a stoma formed in the body of a user of the device. A closure portion is adapted to permit selective and repeatable covering and uncovering of the aperture in the face plate. A catheter portion extends from one side of the face plate and extends proximally, and one end of the catheter portion is disposed interior of the user's body, within the ostomy site, when the port device is in normal use position. The catheter portion has continuous exterior and interior side walls, the latter defining a major lumen. The catheter portion is sized and shaped appropriately for non-surgical installation through a stoma to a sufficient distance that the presence of the catheter portion within the stoma provides a physical barrier which reduces the incidence of stoma prolapse, without the use of extraneous, externally applied materials or additional surgery. Retaining structure is connected to the catheter of the continent ostomy port and is non-surgically, snugly fittable into the stoma, to cause the port device to be self-retaining in a normal use position within a stoma of the user, without the need for special surgery or extraneous, external fixation materials such as tape, belts, and adhesives. The retaining structure is also usefully connected to other medical catheters.

Title: Method and apparatus for wireless network connectivity
Inventor: LAROIA RAJIV
IPC: H04L69/14
Filed: 2002-08-13
Abstract: Methods and apparatus which allow a wireless terminal (302) to simultaneously maintain connections with multiple base stations (304, 306) are described. Each wireless terminal (302) is capable of supporting multiple separate timing and/or other control loops one, for each base station connection thereby allowing the connections to operate independently and in parallel. Different control signals and/or data are transmitted on each connection that is established with a base station (302, 306). In this manner base stations (302, 306) receive different data allowing for asynchronous data transmission. The data received by the base stations (302, 306) can be supplied to a wired asynchronous network (308) without the need to combine the received data prior to supplying it to the wired network (308). The communications techniques of the invention can be used to implement soft handoffs without the need to duplicate data transmissions to multiple base stations.

Title: Process for the purification of gases and recuperation of acid gases
Inventor: MENZEL JOHANNES
IPC: B01D53/14
Filed: 2009-11-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing sour gases from raw gases (1). The removed sour gases are intended to accumulate at a high regeneration pressure. This enables the sour gases to be transported to a storage area with a minimum effort for compression. The raw gas (1) is fed into an absorption column (40) and there purified of the sour gas components present in the raw gas (1), under increased operational pressure, by means of a physical absorption agent (16). The absorption agent (5) charged with sour gases and useful gases is then fed into a high-pressure stripping column (43), in which a portion of the absorption agent is vaporized, and a stripping vapor is thereby generated. The coabsorbed useful gases are driven out by the stripping vapor. The useful gases are drawn off at the head of the high-pressure stripping column (43). The absorption agent present in the head vapors of the high-pressure stripping column (43) is liquefied and fed back into the high-pressure stripping column (43). The flow of absorption agent (7) departing the base of the high-pressure stripping column (43) is fed into a high-pressure regeneration column (47), in which the sour gases present in the absorption agent are separated out and drawn off from the head of the high-pressure regeneration column (47) at high pressure. The regenerated absorption agent (10) is drawn off at the base of the high-pressure regeneration column (47) and fed back into the absorption column (40).
