Abstract: A disposable single use beverage package includes a frame. The frame includes a continuous rim that defines an opening at a top of the frame, a bottom portion that is closed, and a plurality of spaced apart ribs that extend from the rim to a peripheral edge of the bottom. The bottom portion, plurality of ribs and rim define a plurality of openings that facilitate fluid flow. The basket is tapered to facilitate stacking of multiple baskets. At least one rib includes a ledge positioned in a center region configured to limit an amount by which an upper basket is insertable into a lower basket to thereby define a space between respective bottoms of the upper basket and the lower basket.

Abstract: A poly(arylethersulfone) polymer comprising recurring units derived from at least one aromatic dihalocompound comprising at least one —S(?O)2— group and at least one diol (D) comprising at least one cycloaliphatic moiety (M).

Abstract: The invention relates to the filtering of liquid samples, preferably in a laboratory environment, for example for collecting micro organisms from the liquid sample for subsequent testing. The invention provides a method for filtering a liquid sample which comprises providing a blank of a deformable sheet material and a filtration medium, deforming the blank to form a funnel extending above and about the filtration medium, introducing the liquid sample to be filtered into the so formed funnel, and filtering the liquid sample from the funnel through the filtration medium, for example to a downstream receptacle. The method is accordingly based on the concept that the funnel is not or at least not completely preformed but provided in a form of a blank of a deformable material sheet which is deformed so as to form the funnel at the point and time of use during filtration.

Abstract: The beverage brewing device is configured for use with a beverage brewer having an inlet probe for dispensing water and an outlet probe. The beverage brewing device includes a body defining a brew chamber configured to contain a dry beverage medium and at least one outlet probe receptacle defined in the body and extending upwardly from a bottom surface of the body. The at least one outlet probe receptacle is sized and configured to receive an outlet probe of a beverage brewer. A lid is removably securable to the body and is engageable with the body to selectively enclose a top opening of the body. An inlet probe opening is defined in the lid for receiving an inlet probe of the beverage brewer. At least one filter is defined within in the body, wherein the filter is configured to retain a dry beverage medium within the brew chamber while allowing a brewed beverage to pass through the brew chamber.

Abstract: A polypropylene filter for filtering liquids manufactured exclusively of polypropylene (PP) with fresh raw material, weighting between 40 grams and 45 grams resulting in TNT (fabric-like material), wherein there is a quadrilateral mono-block body (1) assembled from the union of a frontal face (9) with a posterior face (10), for all the lateral seams (3), and a bottom face (4), resulting in a container (5) with an inlet (6) between a frontal seam (7) and a posterior seam (8), which narrows from the inlet (6) to the bottom face (4), and the filter can be cleaned and reused, at least, three times.

Abstract: A disposable, single serve, fluid permeable filter configured to substantially conform to the contour of the interior surface of a permanent filter basket used in single serve type beverage brewers.

Abstract: Devices for separating impurities from the lubricating oil of an internal combustion engine, the devices at least having a filter element and a housing provided with a screw cap. The screw cap and the filter element include a detachable connection arrangement which can be brought into contact and are used to transmit axial tractive forces. A first device is characterized in that the connection arrangement can be brought into contact by rotating the screw cap in the loosening rotational direction thereof and can be disengaged by rotating the screw cap in the tightening rotational direction thereof. A second device also includes a centrifuge located in the same housing, a first connection apparatus, corresponding to the above-mentioned connection apparatus being provided between an intermediate cap and the filter element, and a second connection apparatus being provided between the screw cap and the intermediate cap.

Abstract: Provided are a porous sintered compact suitable for a filter, a power feeder in a polymer electrolyte membrane type water electrolyzer, a current collector in a solid polymer fuel cell and in addition a liquid dispersion plate, especially an ink dispersion plate for an ink jet printer ink and the like. A titanium powder sintered compact made of a plate-like porous compact is obtained by sintering spherical powder made of titanium or a titanium alloy produced by means of a gas atomization method. A void ratio in the range of from 35 to 55% is realized by filling without applying a pressure and sintering without applying a pressure.

Abstract: A filtration portion 11 constituting a filter element 3 is composed of a first filtration material 9 wound around the outer periphery of an inner tube 8 and a second filtration material 10 wound tightly around the outer peripheral surface of the first filtration material 9, and gas comprising oil mist is passed inside the filtration portion 11 from the inner peripheral surface to the outer peripheral surface thereof. As a result, a filter with good oil mist separation efficiency can be provided in which oil mist can be trapped and caused to condensate into oil drops with the first filtration material 9 and the oil drops can be grown with the second filtration material 10 and separated from the gas.

Abstract: A non-contaminating paint strainer is comprised of a conical receptacle having a conical tapering side wall. The side wall has an inner surface and an outer surface. The conical receptacle defines a lower filtration portion having an aperture provided with reinforcing ribs formed integral with the side wall and extending into the aperture. A filtration mesh screen is secured to the outer surface of the tapering side wall adjacent the aperture and to an outer surface of the reinforcing ribs by glue applied solely to the outer surface of the side wall and outer surface of the reinforcing rib, whereby paint being filtered by the conical receptacle will be in contact solely with the inner surface, free of the glue. Any ink printing is provided on the outer surface of the conical side wall above the mesh screen.

Abstract: A one-piece filter cartridge is formed by inserting an open ended cylindrical screen and an end screen for the cylindrical screen in a mold and overmolding with engineered resinous material to form spaced annular and axial support ribs for the screen material. The cartridge is suitable for use in an hydraulic circuit for filtering bi-directional and radial flow without backwashing trapped particles from flow in one axial direction. One of the ribs has an annular groove for a seal ring for sealing about the cartridge upon insertion in a flow passage.

Abstract: A beverage ingredient filter (10) having a relatively inwardly located, filtering, inner section (12) of the beverage ingredient filter (10) made of water permeable filter paper (11) and a relatively outwardly located, water impervious and nonfiltering outer section (14) of the beverage ingredient filter continuously joined to and surrounding the inner filtering section (12) of beverage ingredient filter.
