  • Filtration media fiber structure and method of making same
    Patent number: 9993761
    Abstract: Fiber structures and methods are described that incorporate a body of a micron fiber modified by the attachment of discrete length nano-fibers. Numerous of these modified fiber structures can be assembled into air filter media. Further augmentations of the modified fibers and media can be implemented to improve filtration characteristics.
    Type: Grant

  • Filtration media fiber structure and method of making same
    Patent number: 9522357
    Abstract: Fiber structures and methods are described that incorporate a body of a micron fiber modified by the attachment of discrete length, crimped nano-fibers. Numerous of these modified fiber structures can be assembled into air filter media. Further augmentations of the modified fibers and media can be implemented to improve filtration characteristics.

  • Fluid filter
    Publication number: 20060000196
    Abstract: A fluid filter is disclosed which comprises a layer of high loft, non-woven, fibrous, fluid-permeable material having a length and a width, an upper surface, a lower surface, and a thickness measured between the upper and lower surfaces which is non-constant. The non-constant thickness is achieved by providing a series of spaced-apart grooves separated by a series of spaced-apart ridges. The lower surface is substantially planar and the grooves each have a generally U-shaped cross section with the ridges having a generally inverted U-shaped cross section. A modified form of the invention is also disclosed wherein the zones of higher flow resistance have a greater density than the zones of lower flow resistance. In this embodiment, the thickness of the filter is constant. The method of filtering particulate material from a fluid stream is also disclosed.
