Abstract: A filter element includes a fold pack (5) with at least one side strip (4) that connects fold ends on at least one side of the fold pack (5). The side strip (4) is connected only about a portion of the height of the fold pack therewith in such a way that the fold valleys and/or fold ridges of the fold pack are not connected with the side strip.

Abstract: A prosthetic glenoid component has a body having a concave bearing surface and a convex glenoid contacting surface. First and second pegs extend outwardly from adjacent respective first and second ends of the bone contacting surface of the body, the first and second pegs have portions with a first diameter at the bone contacting surface extending for a first length and a second diameter extending from the first diameter for a second length, the first diameter larger than the second diameter. A third peg extends outwardly from the bone contacting surface intermediate the first and second pegs. The third peg has a third diameter greater than the second diameter portion of the first and second pegs and a third length greater than the first length of the first diameter portion of the first and second pegs. The third length is less than the sum of the first and second lengths.

Abstract: A computerized research system operates over an authoritative document collection to facilitate user analysis and organized reporting of information gathered from the collection. The computerized research system includes database, analysis and organization, and reporting modules. The database stores an index of a document collection, wherein the index is constructed to identify the occurrence of and association between authoritative assertions existing within the documents of the document collection. The analysis module is coupleable to the database and responsive to user interaction to provide a user navigable representation of authoritative assertions and to organize a user determined set of authoritative assertions selected from the document collection. The reporting module is, in turn, responsive to the user determined set to, under user direction, generate a report document containing a literate reporting of the user determined set of authoritative assertions.

Abstract: A filter material for separating solid, particulate and gaseous components from fluids, which is enclosed on both the upstream and downstream sides with a particle filtering medium.

Abstract: There is described a filter material, in particular in the form of a flat article, for fluid media, comprising a carrier layer and an adsorption layer, wherein the adsorption layer is formed by melt adhesive threads loaded with adsorber particles. There is also described a process for producing a filter material of that kind.

Abstract: A filter device includes a housing having an inlet for a gaseous medium to be filtered and an outlet for the filtered medium. Disposed in the housing is a flat carrier providing a plurality of mutually adjacent layers forming a stack. The layers are so arranged in the housing that they extend in the direction of flow of the medium from the inlet through the housing to the outlet. Adsorber particles of elongate configuration are fixed on the layers and oriented at least approximately in the direction of flow of the medium through the housing.
