  • Publication number: 20240133092
    Abstract: A thermally bonded filtration media that can be used in high temperature conditions in the absence of any loss of fiber through thermal effects or mechanical impact on the fiber components is disclosed. The filter media can be manufactured and used in a filter unit or structure, can be placed in a stream of removable fluid, and can remove a particulate load from the mobile stream at an increased temperature range. The combination of bi-component fiber, other filter media fiber, and other filtration additives provides an improved filtration media having unique properties in high temperature, high performance applications.

  • Publication number: 20230081385
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein relates to a vent assembly having a vent housing that defines a first airflow pathway, a second airflow pathway, and a third airflow pathway. The first airflow pathway is configured for fluid communication with an interior of an enclosure. The second airflow pathway is configured for fluid communication with the external environment, and the third airflow pathway extends between the first airflow pathway and the second airflow pathway. A membrane is coupled to the vent housing such that the second airflow pathway and the third airflow pathway are in communication through the membrane. Coalescing filter media is disposed within the vent housing such that the third airflow pathway and the first airflow pathway are in communication through the coalescing filter media. The vent assembly defines a spacing region between the coalescing media and the membrane.

  • Publication number: 20200047549
    Abstract: The invention relates to the improved design of a wheel with improved construction that is easier to assemble, more capable, stronger and thicker. The improved design of wheel is provided with an improved cylindrical rim in terms of design and material, and an improved wheel disk including plurality of apertures in extended space over the bolt pattern for air to pass through to avoid effect of windy conditions and a hub portion configured to he attached to an axle huh of a vehicle. Additionally, the hub portion of a wheel disk includes a 10 on 225 mm bolt pattern with 10 lug holes to get coupled with the vehicle hub using 225 mm threaded bolts that increases the weight capacity of the vehicle over 5, 6 or 8 lug vehicles. Said wheel is made of most preferably, but not limited to, the material such as aluminum by forging into single piece or 2 piece wheel making it light in weight with excellent durability.

  • Patent number: 8065539
    Abstract: An AC-to-DC adapter provides power to information handling systems at different power levels based on the power rating of the information handling system. An adapter manager sets a first lower level at an over current protection circuit unless the information handling system sends identification information that indicates the information handling system is rated to accept a second higher power level, such as by sending a low signal pulse through a serial communication line. While the identification information is present and external power is applied to the adapter, the adapter manager sets a second higher level at an over current protection circuit to allow output of a second higher power level.
