A crew rest module for use in a mobile platform, particularly on commercial aircraft. The crew rest module in one implementation forms a pair of laterally adjacent crew rest compartments that each include a reclinable seat and a dedicated stairway for ingress and egress. The crew rest compartments are further elevated above a main floor of the cabin of a mobile platform to provide a degree of storage space underneath the crew rest compartments. Another embodiment provides a crew rest module having upper and lower crew rest compartments, with each compartment including a berth and a seat disposed laterally adjacent its associated berth. A stairway allows access to the upper crew rest compartment. Each of the modules provide a highly space efficient area that can accommodate a pair of crew members simultaneously and provide a degree of privacy for each crew member for rest and relaxation. The module further makes efficient use of the crown area of a commercial aircraft.

An implantable medication delivery device that is highly space efficient and can reliably and safely deliver controlled medication doses to a target site. The system includes a variable volume medication reservoir that is exposed to an ambient pressure equal to the ambient pressure at a system outlet port. A pump/valve subassembly is provided to draw medication from the reservoir and force a medication dose along a fluid transfer passageway to the outlet port. The pump/valve subassembly incorporates a safety mechanism, e.g., a balanced valve, which normally blocks medication flow to the outlet port and opens only in response to a pump induced unbalancing force. A protective shell is also disclosed for protecting the ambient reservoir.

A rectangular cushion bag formed from a two-dimensional flat pouch, wherein select portions of the cushion bag comprise a differential rigidity to facilitate transforming the flat pouch into a box-like configuration. The differential rigidity may be created by compromising the bottom corners, strengthening portions of the sealed side edges, weakening portions of the sealed side edges, or any combination thereof. An automated method of creating the cushion bag is also disclosed. In use, the applying a downward force on the bag causes weaker portions of the bag to give way causing the two-dimensional flat pouch to open into a three-dimensional rectangular cushion bag.
