  • Publication number: 20240090811
    Abstract: A flexible sensor configured for use in a bladder is flexible and moveable from a first position in which it is configured to not be discharged from the bladder to a second position in which it is configured to be inserted into the bladder. A sensor insertion tool includes an over sheath, a push rod configured to be inserted into a first lumen of the over sheath. The flexible sensor is positioned in the first lumen of the over sheath, the push rod is then inserted partially into the over sheath behind the flexible sensor. The sensor insertion tool is then positioned at a location, such as the opening to the bladder, in which the sensor is to be deployed.

  • Publication number: 20240065400
    Abstract: Various types of travel bags are provided with at least one portable self-contained vacuum compression system having a portable vacuum pump powered by a portable, preferably removable, rechargeable battery, a compression connection system, and a vacuum compression bag secured within the interior space of the travel bag. The portable self-contained vacuum compression system allows the user to pack more clothing or compressible goods into their travel bag via the use of vacuum compression. The air inside the compression bag can be evacuated by the attached self-contained vacuum pump assembly which is secured within the travel bag in a manner to hold the self-contained vacuum system within the travel bag's internal dimensions in one embodiment. The vacuum compression system can be held in place via a removable or a fixed frame that permits operation of the vacuum compression system within the internal dimensions of the travel bag.

  • Publication number: 20230341169
    Abstract: A refrigeration system including a storage chamber configured to store a product at a predetermined temperature. The storage chamber is defined by an inner wall. The inner wall at least partially defines an air plenum. The inner wall includes an opening wall surface, a floor surface, a rear wall surface and a ceiling wall surface. The system also includes a refrigerant circuit including a compressor, a condenser, a condenser fan, an evaporator and an evaporator fan arranged and disposed in an operable configuration to provide refrigeration to the storage chamber. The air plenum includes a conduit arranged and disposed to convey air from an air inlet across the evaporator and into a discharge chamber and out an air outlet. The air outlet is configured to discharge cooled air in a direction toward the opening wall surface.
