Julie Graber has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8524091
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for a filter for filtering a dosing fluid in an exhaust aftertreatment system. The filter may comprise a dosing tank configured to contain a dosing fluid, a filter media disposed within the dosing tank, and a support structure supporting the filter media to form a pathway for a flow of dosing fluid. Beneficially, the apparatus, system, and method of the present invention reduce the cost of operation and manufacture of the SCR system.

  • Patent number: 8490682
    Abstract: A suction filter providing a heat transfer pathway therein is provided. The suction filter includes a support structure, an inlet connected to the support structure, a filter element connected to the support structure, and a thermally conductive element that communicates with an interior portion of the suction filter. The filter element is configured to filter a fluid as it passes through the filter element into an interior portion of the suction filter. Also, the thermally conductive element extends from the interior portion of the suction filter to an exterior portion of the suction filter. The thermally conductive element is configured to transfer heat obtained external the suction filter to the interior portion of the suction filter in order to provide heat to the fluid in the interior portion of the suction filter.

  • Patent number: 8080086
    Abstract: A filtration media that incorporates a static dissipative media layer for dissipating the static charge that builds up as a fluid, such a fuel, passes through the filtration media. The filtration media includes a filter media suitable for filtering fluid, and a static dissipative media layer. The static dissipative media layer has a surface resistivity level that is sufficient to classify the media layer as static dissipative rather than conductive.

  • Publication number: 20060266701
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method to provide increasingly fine gradient density depth filtration of a fluid. The apparatus may include a melt-blown filtration assembly having varying densities of melt-blown microfilaments fabricated from acetal or other substantially dimensionally stable thermoplastic. The apparatus thus facilitates efficient filtration by providing a gradient density depth filtration system compatible with various fuels, coolants, and other forms of a fluid.
