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.

Abstract: Sulfasalazine salt compositions are provided. In some cases, the sulfasalazine salts have a crystalline form. The subject crystalline sulfasalazine salts can provide a water soluble form of the active compound that finds use in pharmaceutical compositions and therapeutic applications. The subject crystalline sulfasalazine salts can provide increased solubility as compared to the zwitterionic or free acid form of sulfasalazine. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions including the subject sulfasalazine salt compositions. Methods of treating a neurological related disease such as refractory epilepsy using the subject crystalline sulfasalazine salts and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.

Abstract: A medical imaging system capable of acquiring medical imaging data of a patient includes a console coupled to the system, the console comprising a computer programmed to enable a first user to perform a first task on the system via the console, and enable a second user to perform a second task simultaneously with the first task via a remote device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a composite armor system and method of manufacturing the same including a composite armor system that includes a first bulk bonded fibrous layer, a second bonded fibrous layer bonded to the first bulk bonded fibrous layer and a third bonded fibrous layer. At least one release layer is disposed between the second bonded fibrous layer and the third bonded fibrous layer and a joining mechanism that joins the second bonded fibrous layer to the third bonded fibrous layer through apertures in the release layer into a joined bonded substratum layer. The release layer prevents bonding between the second bonded fibrous layer and the third bonded fibrous layer at opposite portions of the release layer contacting both the second bonded fibrous layer and the third bonded fibrous layer.
