Publication number: 20230233969Abstract: A filter material for use in fuel-water separation has a particle filtration layer and a coalescing layer downstream of, and coupled to, the particle filtration layer. The particle filtration layer is substantially constructed of binder fibers and media fibers. The coalescing layer has at least 70% glass fibers by weight. As another example, a filter material for liquid fuels has a particle filtration layer and a coalescing layer downstream of the particle filtration layer. The particle filtration layer has binder fibers and media fibers and is substantially free of meltblown materials. The ratio of air permeability of the particle filtration layer to air permeability of the coalescing layer ranges from about 3:1 to about 15:1.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Aflal Rahmathullah, Bradly Hauser, Vijay Kapoor, Mike J. Madsen, Derek O. Jones, Charles Christ

Publication number: 20070146829Abstract: Printers and methods for operating a printer are provided. One method comprises receiving a print order associated with image data for use in printing a plurality images; converting the image data into actions to print the plurality of images on a receiver medium with print adjacent areas between the printed images, the converting being performed in accordance with printer settings; printing a first set of color patches in the print adjacent areas when the each of the first set of calibration color patches can be printed in the print adjacent areas; printing a second set of color patches in the print adjacent areas when each of the first set of color patches cannot be printed in the print adjacent areas; and sensing the color of each printed color patch and recalibrating the printer settings based upon the sensed colors.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2006Publication date: June 28, 2007Inventors: David Coons, Stuart Evans, Michael Moore, Charles Christ

Publication number: 20070005447Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of ordering images at an imaging device which permits a user to print images immediately, and simultaneously with the printing of the images, access further images for editing. The method of the present invention also provides a running account to the user as the user decides to print an image that details the cost of the jobs as they are being performed. Further, the system provides an ability to check the transaction cost versus the deposit for a fulfillment session and update the cost as the jobs are fulfilled.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2005Publication date: January 4, 2007Inventors: Charles Christ, James Honan, Ronald Wexler

Publication number: 20060105108Abstract: A gravure method for applying a discrete patch (12) of uniform coating to a moving web (14) includes defining a nip area (20) between a gravure roller (16) and a backing roller (22), moving the gravure roller to the nip to a precise lengthwise location on the web, and moving the gravure roller from the nip. The method is improved by controlling the speed of movement of the gravure roller to the nip, and controlling the speed of movement of the gravure roller from the nip thereby producing a discrete patch.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2004Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Rukmini Lobo, James Heetderks, David Wakefield, Roger Beam, Mikel Hill, Alan Bentz, Charles Christ, Ralph Schultz
