Abstract:
An example water well submersible pump filter may comprise: (1) a perforated cap; (2) a perforated hollow cylindrical middle member joined to the perforated cap at a first end of the perforated hollow cylindrical middle member; and (3) a filter crown comprising: (a) a hollow cylindrical crown segment joined to the second end of the perforated hollow cylindrical middle member at a first end of the hollow cylindrical crown segment, (b) a hollow conical crown segment joined to a second end of the hollow cylindrical crown segment at a first end of the hollow conical crown segment, and (c) a ring of fins joined to, and extending longitudinally from, a second end of the hollow conical crown segment. The second end of the hollow conical crown segment may join to proximal ends of fins of the ring of fins.
Abstract:
A hydrocarbon absorbing cone filter for an air intake system may include a generally truncated cone shaped media filter and an internal hydrocarbon absorbing element therein. The hydrocarbon absorbing element may absorb hydrocarbons at the clean air side of an air stream flowing through the media filter and into a combustion engine system.
Abstract:
A filter and filter media configured and arranged for placement in a fuel stream is disclosed. The filter and filter media allow for filtering of liquid fuels, such as diesel fuel. In certain embodiments the filter media includes a media fiber (such as glass) and a binder fiber (such as bicomponent) that combine to create a media structure having low solidity and relatively low compressibility, and which contain a pore structure that avoids premature fouling of the filter by fuel degradation products.
Abstract:
Devices and methods are provided that permit efficient and selective separation of liquid biological specimens into at least two constituent components to facilitate subsequent quantitative and qualitative analysis on at least one analyte of interest in at least one of the components. The devices generally include one or more sample deposition regions supported on a base. Each sample deposition region includes a separation membrane for separating the liquid biological specimen into two different fractions. The first fraction is trapped by the separation membrane while the second fraction passes through the separation membrane and into a respective collection membrane. The separation and collection membranes are easily separable from the devices and can be utilized for further processing and analysis.
Abstract:
A pervious concrete slab is pre-cast in a reusable mold or form to define at least one keyway configured and arranged to engage with a complementary keyway of another similar pre-cast pervious concrete slab. The concrete slab is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to an installation site, and installed.
Abstract:
A pulper for pulping a fiber suspension includes a vessel, an extraction plate assembly and a rotor. The extraction plate assembly is disposed within the vessel and includes a metal plate with a plurality of holes extending therethrough. A plurality of metal inserts are respectively disposed within the holes and project from the plate. Each insert is removably attached to the plate. A rotor is disposed within the vessel adjacent to the extraction plate assembly. The inserts are removably attached to the plate by brazing the inserts within the holes, or slightly shrinking the inserts using liquid nitrogen and placing the inserts in the holes.
Abstract:
A filter for molten metal comprises a series of at least two refractory mineral material plates which define between them one or more cavities. The plates each comprise a series of holes through which the liquid metal passes and by which the liquid metal is filtered. At least one of the cavities contains a material for treating the metal, for example a material for inoculating the liquid metal. The filter is used among other things to filter and treat molten metals simultaneously and to improve the quality of the metal.
Abstract:
An improved salt dissolver for producing a uniform supply of a concentrated salt solution incorporating a novel filter and collector manifold assembly adjacent to the base of a tank adapted to be filled with bulk quantities of a soluble salt compound. The filter and collector manifold arrangement provides for high solution flow rate and facilitates replacement of the tubular filter element as may be required or desired from time to time.
Abstract:
A pressure and heat molded polymer tube, formed of miniscule polyethylene beads, each in the vicinity of 115 um powder in diameter, which when compression molded forms pores that are of uniform diameter throughout their length within the range of 5 um-10 um, the tube having an upper flange, that mates within a correspondently shaped grommet, which when applied to the transverse plate of an air filtration housing, functions to cleanse highly efficiently the dust particles and debris from the air being filtered, when passing through the filtration system, so that such purified air can be discharged safely.
Abstract:
A pourer for pouring a liquid from a bottle having a solid main body; a flow channel at the main body; a check valve at the flow channel; an air-vent channel at the main body; and a filter at the air-vent channel. The flow channel and the check valve are configured for allowing via the same a flow of the liquid from inside the bottle towards outside the bottle under the action of gravity when the bottle is turned to a pouring position for pouring the liquid; the air-vent channel is configured for allowing air from outside the bottle to pass inside the bottle via the air-vent channel during the flow of the liquid; and the filter is configured for producing a filtration of the air when the latter passes from outside the bottle to inside the bottle via the air-vent channel. Also, a product includes the pourer.
