  • Publication number: 20060191249
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a filter assembly for use inside an electronic enclosure, such as a hard disk drive enclosure containing a rotating disk. The filter assembly provides filtration of air within the electronic enclosure, and optionally for air entering the electronic enclosure. Thus, the invention is directed in part to a filter assembly for use in an electronic enclosure, the filter assembly comprising particulate removal media. In certain embodiments the particulate removal media comprising a fine fiber layer containing a hydrophobic additive and at least one polymer. In some implementations it includes a blend of two or more polymers.

  • Patent number: 7008465
    Abstract: An improved cartridge, typically in cylindrical or panel form that can be used in a dry or wet/dry vacuum cleaner. The cartridge is cleanable using a stream of service water, or by rapping on a solid object, or by using a compressed gas stream, but can provide exceptional filtering properties even for submicron particulate in the household or industrial environment. The cartridge has a combination of nanofiber filtration layer on a substrate. The nanofiber and substrate are engineered to obtain a maximum efficiency at reasonable pressure drop and permeability. The improved cartridge constitutes at least a substrate material and at least a layer including a non-woven, fine fiber separation layer.
