An ostomy management device () including an ostomy port () insertable inside a stoma () on a patient's abdomen. The ostomy port () includes an outer flange () placed at periphery of the stoma (). The outer flange () includes a collapsible chamber () to collect instilling fluid in a non-operating state of the outer flange (). A fixation element () to anchor the ostomy management device () inside an intestine (). The fixation element () is to expand after displacement of the instilling fluid contained in the outer flange () to the fixation element (). An intermediate channel () to transport body waste to the stoma (). A stoma plug (), attached to the outer flange (), to cover an opening in the outer flange () to stop the body waste from flowing out from the stoma () during an operating state of the outer flange ().

Ostomy management device

A beverage making machine may be arranged to cool a precursor liquid in a tank using a cooling liquid in a cooling container disposed around the tank. The cooling liquid may be freezable to form ice, e.g., to provide the system with improved cooling capacity and/or speed. A plurality of fins may extend between the tank and the cooling container, with each of the plurality of fins being physically attached to the cooling container or the tank and being arranged to conduct heat from the tank and/or from the cooling liquid. The plurality of fins may include first portions attached to the tank and extending outwardly, and second portions attached to the cooling container and extending inwardly. Side surfaces of corresponding first and second portions may be in contact with each other to aid in transferring heat via the fin portions.

Method and apparatus for cooling beverage liquid with finned ice bank

A beverage making machine having a tank may be arranged to carbonate and/or chill liquid in the tank. A thermoelectric device may be thermally coupled to the tank to cool precursor liquid in the tank, and a heat pipe may transfer heat from the thermoelectric device to a heat sink. The heat sink may be located remotely from the thermoelectric device, e.g., in an air duct that helps prevent contact of moisture, dirt, etc. in the duct with the thermoelectric device.
