Abstract: Fluid treatment arrangements and methods for operating fluid treatment arrangements may include fluid treatment assemblies and manifold assemblies that direct fluids to and/or from the fluid treatment assemblies.

Abstract: Filtration systems may comprise a manifold, a filter, a carriage, and a mounting mechanism. The manifold and the filter may each include an inlet fitting and an outlet fitting. The carriage may support the filter with the fittings of the manifold and filter respectively axially aligned. The mounting mechanism may be arranged between the manifold and the carriage to move the carriage and the filter between a disengaged position in which the filter fittings are spaced from the manifold fittings and an engaged position in which the filter fittings respectively engage the manifold fittings.

Abstract: Fluid treatment arrangements (10) and methods for operating fluid treatment arrangements (10) may include fluid treatment assemblies (11) and manifold assemblies (12) that direct fluids to and/or from the fluid treatment assemblies (11).

Abstract: A liquid dispensing system (100) supplies a dispense liquid using a pump (101), wherein the system minimizes contamination of, and bubble formation in, the dispense liquid. The pressure at the suction side of the pump may be limited to a predetermined value.

Abstract: A hologram optical element having a thin form and a high degree of light transmittance, moreover that provides superior handling ease, as well as a surface light source device employing this hologram optical element. The angle at which light can be bent in this hologram optical element, has low wavelength dependency, and the hologram optical element enables prevention of spectral separation in white light incident from an oblique direction which is bent to a vertical direction and emitted. A transmitting diffraction grating, when light of wavelengths ?1, ?2 and ?3 within the ranges 0.46??1?0.50 ?m (blue light), 0.53??2?0.57 ?m (green light), 0.60??3?0.64 ?m (red light) is incident at angle ?i, the maximum diffraction angle for diffractive efficiency of each wavelength is within the range from ?5 degrees to +5 degrees.

Abstract: A filter comprises a housing and a filter cartridge. The housing includes an inlet, an outlet, a vent, and a filter cartridge chamber. The filter cartridge is permanently positioned in the filter cartridge chamber of the housing with an annular channel between the filter cartridge and the housing. The bottom of the filter cartridge and the interior of the bottom of the housing each include a surface which inclines upwardly toward the annular channel.

Abstract: A filter comprising a filter cartridge and a housing having at least one fitting and defining a chamber, the filter cartridge being disposed in the chamber, wherein the housing includes a fluid conduit which extends axially from the fitting along the periphery of the filter cartridge, the fluid conduit being isolated from the filter cartridge chamber along a substantial portion of the length of the fluid conduit.
