  • Patent number: 11375786
    Abstract: Embodiments include a pack bag including an outer container and an inner removable accessory organizer. The inner removable accessory organizer includes multiple compartments. The outer container includes an external easy-access portal through which contents of at least one of the compartments of the inner organizer are accessible. The pack bag includes a second external easy-access portal through which contents of another compartment of the inner organizer are accessible. The inner organizer includes a first pull handle to unfold and deploy the compartments when bundle straps are unfastened, and a second pull handle to fold the compartments one atop the other when the bundle straps are unfastened. When the bundle straps are fastened, the compartments are held together as a single bundled unit, such that the inner organizer is liftable as the single bundled unit out of the outer container simultaneously using the first pull handle and the second pull handle.

  • Patent number: 10893733
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a module collapsible accessory organizer for use with a luggage bag. The accessory organizer includes foldable compartments. The compartments can each be collapsed down when necessary to free up interior volume of the luggage bag in which the accessory organizer is placed. The compartments can stack and fold onto each other, and be inserted into or removed from a luggage bag. The compartments can be attached to each other. The compartments are modular such that the accessory organizer can be configured to include any desired number of compartments. The compartments of the accessory organizer are quickly unfolded and deployed for easy access to personal contents stored therein. The accessory organizer is a standalone organizer when not stored in a luggage bag. The accessory organizer can be manufactured and shipped as a standalone organizer, and then used with a variety of already-existent luggage bags of various dimensions.

  • Patent number: 10123599
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a luggage bag and an overhead luggage bag, which include an outer container and an organizer that is contained therein. The organizer includes a built-in compartment and a plurality of removable foldable compartments. The organizer can be stored within the outer container and covered by an outer flap. The compartments can stack and fold onto each other and can fold into and out of the outer container. The compartments can be removably attached to each other. The compartments can be modular such that the organizer can be configured to include any desired number of compartments. The compartments of the organizer can unfold, deploy, and extend from the outer container. The overhead luggage bag can include one or more easy-access portals through which contents of the luggage bag can be conveniently accessed without fully opening the luggage bag.

  • Patent number: 9215918
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a luggage bag, which includes an outer container and an organizer that is contained therein. The outer container includes a detachable garment flap having an envelope for storing one or more garments therein. The organizer includes a plurality of foldable compartments. The organizer can be stored within the outer container and covered by the detachable garment flap. The compartments can stack and fold onto each other and can fold into and out of the outer container. The compartments can be removably attached to each other by a connector, such as pile tape, snaps, buttons, etc. The compartments can be modular such that the organizer can be configured to include any desired number of compartments. In some embodiments, the organizer can occupy substantially the entire interior volume of the outer container. The compartments of the organizer are configured to unfold, deploy, and extend from the outer container.

  • Patent number: 9106222
    Abstract: A system for controlling the termination impedance of memory device data bus terminals is fabricated on the same die as the memory device. The system includes a termination resistor connected to each data bus terminal, which is connected in parallel with several transistors that are selectively turned on to adjust the termination impedance. The transistors are controlled by a circuit that determines the resistance of the termination resistor and turns on the correct number of transistors to properly set the termination impedance. In one example, the resistance of the termination resistor is determined by measuring a resistor of the same type as the termination resistor. In another example, the resistance of the termination resistor is determined indirectly by measuring parameters that affect the resistance of the termination resistor. In either case, the system can maintain the termination impedance of the data bus terminals constant despite changes in the termination resistor.
