  • Patent number: 10940414
    Abstract: A filter assembly for use in an electronics enclosure is disclosed herein. The filter assembly has an inner assembly having a filter material comprising fibrous media and a containment assembly having a first containment layer and a second containment layer. The containment assembly defines an outer perimeter and the first containment layer and a second containment layer are bonded along the outer perimeter in an outer weld area to encapsulate the inner assembly. The outer weld area extends between the outer perimeter and an interior perimeter. The inner assembly defines an inner assembly perimeter that is within the outer perimeter of the containment assembly.

  • Patent number: 10293293
    Abstract: One aspect of the technology relates to a recirculation filter. The recirculation filter has a first outer layer defining at least a portion of a first flow face of the recirculation filter, where the first flow face is configured to be positioned adjacent to a sensitive component in an electronics enclosure. A second outer layer defines at least a portion of a second flow face of the recirculation filter. A filter material layer is disposed between the first outer layer and the second outer layer. The filter material layer has a central region, wherein a substantial portion of the central region is offset from the first flow face of the recirculation filter. Other aspects are also described.

  • Patent number: 6093237
    Abstract: An air cleaner arrangement useful for cleaning air in ablative thermal imaging processes includes a housing and a removable and replaceable element assembly. The housing has an interior, an inlet conduit, and an outlet conduit. The element assembly includes first and second filter elements axially aligned and secured together in a stack configuration. The first filter element has a media pack for filtering particulate material. The second filter element has a media pack for filtering noxious gases, such as formaldehyde. In operation, a blower assembly directs airflow through the inlet conduit, into the first element interior, through the first element media pack, through the second element media pack, into the second element interior, and out through the housing outlet conduit. Methods for filtering and changing out of the element assembly are also described herein.

  • Patent number: 5855442
    Abstract: A whiteboard marking pen includes an ink-containing pen casing having an ink applicator extending from a first end of the casing and a plug socket in a second end of the pen casing; a cylindrical pen cap including a socket end surrounding the ink applicator in a capped storage state and a plug first end insertible into the pen casing plug socket in a pen uncapped marking state; and a whiteboard eraser juxtaposed to a cylindrical portion of the pen cap and extending cantilevered outwardly with respect to a distal surface of the cap socket end, such that, when the pen cap is plugged into the pen casing plug socket, a peripheral edge of the cantilevered eraser is positioned for erasing a minor area of an ink image on a whiteboard.
