Abstract: Filter assemblies are disclosed. In particular, filter assemblies including a filter media and an overlay portion covering the filter media are disclosed. Such filter assemblies may provide both acceptable filtering capacity and cleanable visible front surfaces.

Abstract: Novel methods and means for convergent nanofabrication and nanoassembly are disclosed, and systems produced by and performing same are targeted at a broad range of applications. Molecules and/or nanostructures are bound to supported binding means and manipulated to translate such precursors or intermediates to bond together in precisely desired locations and orientations to yield desired precise structures.

Abstract: An illuminated sign includes a plurality of sections. Each section includes a mesh of conductors having illuminating pixels located at conductor intersections. The mesh is surrounded by a frame connected to the frame of another section. Once frame sections of the display are unfolded, the display can be supported by a structure attached to a car or other vehicle. A support structure for an illuminated display includes a base which is placed on the ground and over which the tire of a vehicle (e.g., a police car) is parked. A column extends from the base, and a display can be attached to the top of that extending column. The support structure can take the form of a collapsible stand having a trunk which is pivotally attached to a base and which contains a telescoping section.
