Patent number: 11617974Abstract: A round filter element of a filter for a urea-water solution has a filter bellows with a filter medium that continuously extends circumferentially, relative to a filter element axis, around an element interior. An end body is fastened to an end face of the filter bellows and provided with a connecting section for fastening the round filter element to a housing cover of a filter housing of the filter. The end body has a central opening communicating with the element interior. The central opening has a central insertion section for receiving a flexible separation section of a volume compensation device of the filter and has an outer flow-through section enabling flow of the urea-water solution out of the filtration volume or into the filtration volume. The filter has a volume compensation device with a flexible separation section that separates a compensation volume from the filtration volume of the filter.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2022Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: MANN+HUMMEL GmbHInventors: Christian Kocksch, Christopher Banks, Bastian Mueller

Patent number: 10343091Abstract: A filter element has a filter material defining a raw side and a clean side of the filter element and to be flowed through by a medium to be filtered from the raw side to the clean side. A non-return element is disposed on the filter material. The non-return element allows a return flow of the filtered medium from the clean side back to the raw side and prevents a flow of the unfiltered medium from the raw side to the clean side. A filter and a filter system with such a filter element are disclosed. The filter system has a pump to supply medium to be filtered to the filter.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: MANN+HUMMEL GmbHInventors: Norbert Strassenberger, Kathrin Tschepe, Heiko Wyhler, Christian Kocksch, Christopher Banks, Martin Postel, Christian Thalmann, Frank Pflueger, Christine Oprisch

Patent number: 9535692Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing, in a software development environment, related files that are used for generating an output presentation document. A software development environment discovers the related files for an application (e.g., web page) that is being authored, and the software development tool presents a visual indication (e.g., graphical tabs) of the discovered related files in a user interface. The software development tool further aids in managing the presentation of the related files by enabling any of the related files to be selectively displayed in a designated interface (e.g., window). That is, a designated interface may be provided in which the content of any selected related file may be alternately displayed in response to a user selecting a visual indication of a related file. In one embodiment, the designated interface is a textual source code view interface that is provided by the software development tool.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2008Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Randall Edmunds, Mitsuko Yoneyama, Christopher Bank

Publication number: 20150027417Abstract: A filter head for a pre-filtration filter for fuel has an electric pump received in a pump channel. A connecting channel connects the pump at a suction side with a clean side of the filter. An outlet channel connects the pump at a pressure side with a main filter for the pre-filtered fuel. The pump is alternatingly operated in at least two of the following operating modes: a feed or follow-up operation in which, before switching on or after switching off an ignition of the internal combustion engine, the pump supplies fuel to the outlet channel; a venting operation in which the pump pumps air out of the filter and/or a fuel line of the filter head; and a support operation in which, with switched-on ignition, the pump supplies fuel at a pressure suitable as input pressure for a high-pressure pump arranged downstream of the main filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2014Publication date: January 29, 2015Inventors: Christian Kocksch, Christopher Banks, Martin Postel, Ahmet Oerther

Patent number: 8713520Abstract: A web page authoring tool is provided enables a developer to interact with run-time output presentation of a page being authored. The web page authoring tool includes an embedded browser that supports a “live preview mode” that enables a run-time page to be viewed. Thus, the live preview mode presents an operational run-time output presentation that is generated by browser source code (rather than original source code), just as would be presented by a client-side browser, and which may present a code view of the run-time browser source code that generates such run-time output presentation. Further, the run-time output presentation view provided by the web page authoring tool remains interoperable with certain authoring support functions of the web page authoring tool, such as enabling a developer to easily access corresponding original source code for selected portions of a run-time page view.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2008Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Christopher Bank, James W.

Patent number: 8356277Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for freezing operation of dynamic code of a run-time web page, such as freezing JavaScript code of a web page. A software application that is being employed for analyzing a web page includes functionality to enable a user to freeze operation of dynamic code, such as JavaScript code, of the run-time page, thereby allowing the user to view, analyze, and/or modify the page's output presentation and/or underlying source files at the given state at which the page was frozen. Such software application may comprise a web page authoring tool or a client-side analysis tool (e.g., testing tool), as examples.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2008Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Christopher Bank, James W.

Publication number: 20030043729Abstract: The present invention is related to a method and apparatus for limiting movement of an actuator assembly in a data storage/retrieval system. In one embodiment of the apparatus, a base is provided on which first and second devices are mounted. The first device is rotatably mounted to the base and reads or writes data to a data storage disk. The second device operates between first and second states. In the first state, the first device is capable of movement with respect to the base. In the second state, the second device operates to inhibit movement of the first device with respect to the base. The second device may operate in the first state when the first device is reading or writing data to the data storage disk, and the second device may operate in the second state when the first device is not reading or writing data to the data storage disk. In one embodiment, second device is rotatably mounted to the base between first and second positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2001Publication date: March 6, 2003Applicant: DataPlay, Inc.Inventors: Robert D.
