  • Patent number: 11311830
    Abstract: An upright two-stage dust collector includes a base unit, a suction blower unit, a filter unit and a dust collecting unit. The suction blower unit has a suction blower body. The filter unit includes a filter body, a coarse particle dust filter cartridge disposed in the filter body, and a fine particle dust filter element disposed in the coarse particle dust filter cartridge. The fine particle dust filter element is coaxially inserted in the coarse particle dust filter cartridge. The air after the first dust collection is filtered by the fine particle dust filter element to perform the second dust collection. Through the combination of the above units, in addition to a two-stage dust collecting effect, the dust collector occupies less space and can be used conveniently.

  • Patent number: 11118544
    Abstract: A high-frequency resonator forming a flow passage for an air induction system, includes an outer shell having a cylindrical inner surface at a first radial distance from a centerline, and an inner shell positioned within the outer shell and forming a volume therebetween. The inner shell includes a first cylindrical outer surface positioned at a second radial distance from the centerline, the first cylindrical outer surface forming an inner surface of the volume and having a first plurality of resonator openings, and a cylindrical support structure having a second cylindrical outer surface positioned at a third radial distance from the axial centerline, and having hydrocarbon adsorber openings. The resonator includes a hydrocarbon adsorber positioned over the cylindrical support structure, such that an inner surface of the hydrocarbon adsorber is exposed to the flow passage through the hydrocarbon adsorber openings.
