Abstract: A filter element, including a filter body having an inflow side and outflow side, the filter body being constructed in layers, at least one layer including granular adsorbents and at least one further layer including activated carbon fibers. The filter element may be used in a filter system which ensures optimum utilization of the load capacity of the filter element used in that a first layer, which includes activated carbon fibers is assigned to the inflow side and a second layer, which includes granular adsorbents, adjoins this layer on the outflow side. A filter system includes the filter element.

Abstract: An adsorption filter having at least one layer of activated carbon particles is, with regard to the object of refining an adsorption filter of the described type, to be refined in such a way that it has a distinctly improved penetration characteristic compared to conventional filters involving a configuration which is as simple and cost-effective as possible and that at least 20 percent by weight of the activated carbon particles have a particle size of less than 0.180 mm and that the total mass per unit area of activated carbon is between 100 g/m2 and 500 g/m2. The adsorption filter can provide a high spontaneous adsorption performance.

Abstract: A filter system in particular for filtering the fresh air supplied to the interior of a motor vehicle is described, including at least one particle-filtering area and at least one chemical filter area, the chemical filter area including an activated carbon filter. The particle-filtering area has a filter efficiency of T (0.3 ?m)?90%, measured according to DIN 71460/1 @ 300 m3/h using AC fine test dust and T (0.1 ?m)?60%, measured according to DIN 71460 @ 300 m3/h using NaCl as the test aerosol. The filter system is characterized by an optimized separation of diesel exhaust and in particular by a definitely improved odor reduction in the case of diesel odor.

Abstract: A package is provided for sorting photo prints and films and for assembling and displaying the prints. The package has a cover with an inside face, a top edge, a bottom edge, and first and second side edges. The cover may be opened and closed about a center spine which extends between the top and bottom edges of the cover and divides the inside face into first and second portions. A pocket for storing the prints and film overlies each of the first and second portions. A generally rectangular pad is connected along one of its edges adjacent the top edge of one of the first or second portions. Prints may be assembled on the pad in an overlapping, staggered relationship for display when the cover is open. The pad has a generally flexible substrate, an adhesive coating on one side of the substrate, and a plurality of removable ribbons covering the adhesive.
