Abstract: An active material container for a functional housing has an air-permeable casing with an interior and an active material arranged inside the interior. One or more rim-side guide elements are arranged at the air-permeable casing and are provided to linearly slidably guide the active material container in an insertion direction in corresponding guide elements of a receptacle of the functional housing. The functional housing is preferably a battery housing.

Abstract: A humidifier has a stack unit having a plurality of water-vapor-permeable membranes which are arranged parallel one above the other and spaced apart from one another. The membranes are enclosed at the edges at least in sections by an enclosing part, wherein the enclosing parts of membranes lying one above the other are directly connected to one another in a flow-tight manner.

Abstract: A humidifier has a stack unit having a plurality of water-vapor-permeable membranes which are arranged parallel one above the other and spaced apart from one another. Two adjacent membranes are connected to one another via fixing elements, wherein a first fixing element acts on the top membrane from above and a second fixing element acts on the bottom membrane from below.

Abstract: A humidifier having at least one water-permeable fabric layer, on the opposite sides of which a gas stream with higher and with lower moisture content is guided along. On the side of the gas stream with higher moisture content, a hydrophilic additional layer is positioned upstream of the fabric layer.

Abstract: Disclosed are an air filter element, a filter housing, and an air filter in which the air filter elements have a high filtering capacity and a long service life by increasing the filter surface of an air filter element taking into account structural requirements for the air filter housing.

Abstract: A humidifier has a moisture exchanger with at least one water-permeable membrane as well as a humidifier device with a moisture reservoir which is positioned in the flow path of the moisture exchanger.

Abstract: In a method for operating a humidifier for a fuel cell wherein the humidifier comprises a moisture exchanger with at least one water-permeable or water vapor-permeable membrane and a moisture reservoir, the moisture exchanger is flushed with flushing air and the flushing air is subsequently passed through the moisture reservoir.

Abstract: A method and system of determining fiber diameter distribution of a fibrous media is disclosed. The method includes providing at least one digital image representative of the fibrous media, pre-processing the images, binarizing the images, generating virtual lines on the image, solving for fiber fringe points on each of generated line, solving for fiber center points as a mean of the fringe points, generating and growing measurement circles about the fiber center points, repositioning circles and center points to avoid fiber intersections, resizing the repositioned measurement circles to intersect the opposing fringes, and calculating fiber diameters and fiber spacing.
