  • Patent number: 11623172
    Abstract: An air filter cartridge includes a coiled media pack with inlet flutes and outlet flutes. The coiled media pack has first and second rounded ends with at least a first straight side and a second side. The coiled media pack has: (i) a length extending along a straight line from a center of the first rounded end to a center of the second rounded end; (ii) a first width between the first straight side and second side; the first width being perpendicular to the length; and (iii) a second width thereacross; the second width being perpendicular to the length. The first width is narrower than the second width.

  • Patent number: 9415336
    Abstract: An air filter cartridge is provided including an air filter media construction having a first, outlet end, flow face and an opposite, second, inlet end, flow face. The filter media construction comprises fluted media secured to a facing media sheet. The filter media is closed to flow of unfiltered air completely therethrough. A centerboard is provided. The centerboard has a media portion embedded within the media construction. The centerboard has first and second opposite sides. The media portion that is embedded within the media defines an aperture arrangement extending completely through the centerboard from the first side to the second side. An adhering sealant secures the centerboard to the media construction. At least some adhering sealant extends through the aperture arrangement.

  • Patent number: 9168990
    Abstract: In various embodiments a variable buoyancy profiling float is disclosed. The variable buoyancy profiling float may comprise a spherical glass housing comprising a first hemisphere and a second hemisphere. The first and second hemispheres may be coupled by a partial vacuum within the spherical glass housing. A buoyancy system may be located at least partially within the spherical glass housing. The buoyancy system may be configured to provide variable buoyancy control to the variable buoyancy profiling float. A sensor bundle may be mounted to the spherical glass housing and may be configured to measure at least one environmental parameter.
