Patent number: 6652615Abstract: An improved seal and method of making is disclosed for sealing a filter element to a filter mounting. The improved seal comprises a bonding pad formed from a sintered matrix of randomly oriented metallic fiber. The bonding pad is disposed between the filter element and the filter mounting A mechanical fastener coacts between the filter element and the filter mounting for compressing the bonding pad to provide a seal between the filter element and the filter mounting. The bonding pad may be heated to create a frangible seal.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2001Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: Pall CorporationInventors: Nathaniel R. Quick, Robert Malanga, Matthew M. Smolowitz

Patent number: 6435861Abstract: An improved gas burner for a gas burner assembly and method of making is disclosed comprising a porous burner element extending between a first and a second end. The porous burner element comprises a sintered matrix of metallic fibers. A first end cap is formed from a rigid metallic material and is secured to the first end of the porous burner element. A second end cap comprises a sintered matrix of metallic fibers. The second end cap is secured to the second end of the porous burner element solely by the metallic fibers of the porous burner element bonding with the metallic fibers of the second end cap. In another embodiment of the invention, the porous burner element has a plurality of pleats for increasing the surface area of the porous burner element.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: USF Filtration and Separations Group, Inc.Inventors: Nathaniel R. Quick, Tao Li, Robert Malanga

Publication number: 20010047331Abstract: A method for automatically processing remittance payment documents is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention the method includes receiving a plurality of payment documents for processing. The contents of the plurality of payment documents are then imaged and recorded to extract data contained thereon, the data being used for remittance processing. An attempt is then made to match the extracted data with a particular known account and known account holder. If the extracted data is matched with the known account and known account holder, then a payment amount included within the extracted data is then processed. If the extracted data is not matched with the known account and known account holder, then the extracted data is forwarded to a learning process and stored in a database prior to the processing of the payment amount included within the extracted data.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2001Publication date: November 29, 2001Inventors: Robert Malanga, Phillip C. Reinke, Mark Guglielmi, Ralph Passarelli

Patent number: 6291806Abstract: The process of bonding a first workpiece to a second workpiece is disclosed comprising the steps of fabricating a sintered bonding pad formed from a matrix of randomly oriented metallic fibers. The bonding pad is interposed between the first and the second workpiece and the first and second workpieces are biased into engagement with the bonding pad. Heat is applied to the first workpiece to the second workpiece for transforming substantially all of the metallic fibers into a liquid for bonding the first workpiece to the second workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1999Date of Patent: September 18, 2001Assignee: USF Filtration and Separations Group, Inc.Inventors: Nathaniel R. Quick, Tao Li, Robert Malanga
