  • Publication number: 20240164601
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of machines for cleaning, particularly vacuum cleaning devices. There is disclosed a filter cartridge for a vacuum cleaner comprising first and second opposite end walls, a side wall or walls which extend between the end walls so as to define an enclosure which surrounds a filter interior, wherein one or more of the walls comprises filter membrane material, the cartridge having an opening provided through the first end wall for receiving air-entrained detritus into the interior, the opening being defined by a rigid support structure which spans and supports the first end wall of the cartridge. The cartridge typically includes a non-return valve which closes when suction is removed so as to help prevent collected detritus escaping from the filter cartridge interior. The valve may comprise a conical valve with flexible facets, or a cantilever flap.

  • Publication number: 20240165848
    Abstract: A process for forming a fluidic module (150) with integrated fluid separation includes positioning a first positive passage mold (115A) of a first fluid passage (170) having a tortuous shape within a volume of binder-coated ceramic powder (110A) and positioning a second positive passage mold (115B) of a second fluid passage (175) having a tortuous shape within the volume of ceramic powder (110A) and spaced apart from the first positive passage mold (115A). The process further includes positioning a powder interconnect (120) adjacent to a portion of each of the first (115A) and second positive passage molds (115B) within the volume of ceramic powder (110A), pressing the volume of ceramic powder (110A, HOB) with the first and second positive passage molds (115A, 115B) and the powder interconnect (120) inside to form a pressed body (148), heating the pressed body to remove the first and second positive passage molds (115A, 115B), and sintering the pressed body (148) to form a closed-porosity ceramic body (150).

  • Publication number: 20230419967
    Abstract: Systems and processes for providing textual representations for a communication session are provided. For example, at least one audio input is received at an electronic device, wherein each audio input of the at least one audio input is associated with a respective priority level. A priority level of an audio input detected at a microphone of the electronic device is determined, wherein a highest priority level among the determined priority level and each received priority level corresponding to the at least one audio input is identified. A textual representation of a respective audio input corresponding to the identified highest priority level is obtained, wherein the obtained textual representation is displayed on a display of the electronic device.
