Abstract: A container is provided for collecting and filtering material. The container includes an inlet penetration through at least one surface of the container, and an outlet penetration through at least one surface of the container. The container further includes at least one filter being integral to the container such that the at least one filter is disposed of together with the container. The at least one filter is connected to the outlet. The material enters the container through the inlet, the material conveyed by a media (filtrate) is passed through the at least one filter resulting in a clean media stream (permeate), and the clean media exits the container through the outlet.

Abstract: A system for positioning a work point in three dimensional space has at least three reeving systems spaced apart from one another, with each reeving system having a adjustable support element connected to it. These support elements are also connected to the work point, with the length of the support elements between the work point and the reeving determining the work point's location. Associated with each reeving system is an actuator adapted for releasing and taking up the support element. A control system controls the actuators to release and take up each of the support elements to move the work point with respective to at least three spatial coordinate axes while controlling at least one motion parameter of the work point in a predetermined manner.

Abstract: A system for positioning a work point has a plurality of reeving systems spaced apart from one another, with each reeving system having a adjustable support element connected to it. These support elements are also connected to the work point, with the length of the support elements between the work point and the reeving determining the work point's location. Associated with each reeving system is an actuator adapted for releasing and taking up the support element. A control system controls the actuators to release and take up each of the support elements to move the work point with respective to at least two spatial coordinate axes while controlling at least one motion parameter of the work point in a predetermined manner.
