Abstract: Embodiments of a fluid container with a disposable filter have been presented. In some embodiments, the filter includes a housing having a top and a bottom, a first integral strainer coupled to the top, a second integral strainer coupled to the bottom, and some filtration particles stored within the housing between the first and the second integral strainers. Furthermore, some embodiments of the filter further include a flange coupled to the top, where the flange may have an outer circumference larger than a circumference of the top of the housing, and an inner circumference smaller than the circumference of the top of the housing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new composite lubricant to deliver lubrication effectiveness by reducing friction coefficient and wear rates and increasing the load bearing capacity, said composite lubricant comprising a base of time-proven aliphatic hydrocarbon into and dispersed throughout which are both nested, hollow, fullerene-like nano-spheres and petroleum distillates previously used as antistatic additives to increase conductivity of the composite lubricant.

Abstract: A gas sensing apparatus is adapted to detect the presence of a gas of interest in air in very small quantities and to provide a rapid alarm or other indication in response to the presence of such gas. The apparatus incorporates a gas sensing composition which changes its electrical resistance more dramatically than previously possible in response to the presence of the gas and electronic circuitry designed to sense and evaluate the patterns of resistance change during the first approximately 30 seconds after exposure to gas and to accurately estimate gas concentration based on such initial resistance variations. The system also looks at overall change in sensor resistance to detect gradually increasing gas levels. A preferred method of manufacturing the sensor and a sensor configuration particularly suited to the early detection of gas levels are disclosed.
