  • Publication number: 20140165517
    Abstract: A filter medium for an air filter unit for collecting dust from an airflow includes a pre-collection layer, a principal collection layer and an air-permeable cover layer. The pre-collection layer collects a part of the dust in the air flow. The principal collection layer includes a porous polytetrafluoroethylene film. The principal collection layer is positioned on a downstream side of the air flow relative to the pre-collection layer to collect dust that passes through the pre-collection layer. The air-permeable cover layer is positioned as an outermost surface layer of the filter medium on an upstream side of the air flow to allow dust in the air flow to pass through. The air-permeable cover layer is configured to suppress deformation of a surface of the filter medium caused by pressing force from an outside. Preferably, an air filter unit includes the filter medium in a zigzag shape.

  • Patent number: 7472019
    Abstract: In a navigation apparatus, via-point setting data indicating a history in terms of setting of via-points is recorded in a point database. Via-point setting data described in a point record stored in the point database indicates points that were specified as via-points when a point of the point record was specified as a destination in the past. In a setting operation, a list of points registered in advance is displayed. If the user selects a destination from the list, points registered in the via-point setting data in the point record of the point selected as the destination are set as candidates for via-points, and the point names thereof are displayed together with the point name of the destination in a via-point editing area. If an apply button is clicked, the points displayed as the candidates for via-points are determined as via-points, and a route to the destination through the determined via-points is searched for.
