A method for controlling display of information on a display device includes storing information corresponding to a broadcast program guide. When a signal is received based on activation of a specific key while the first broadcast program is displayed on a screen, information on the first broadcast program and information on a second program to be broadcast after the first broadcast program is detected. The first broadcast program is then displayed in a first region of the screen simultaneously with the information on the first broadcast program and the information on the second broadcast program in a second region of the screen.

A filter element has a pleated filter mat (3). The terminal axial ends (7, 8) of the mat are connected to end caps (9, 11). The mat has a main structural layer (15) having filtering properties and a first additional structural layer and a second additional structural layer (17,19). The surface area of each of the additional structural layers (17, 19) is smaller than the surface area of the main structural layer (15). The axial ends (12, 14) of one additional structural layer (17) is located at an axial distance from the axial ends (16, 18) of the other additional structural layer (19) on the filter mat (3).

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for face mask with replaceable filter cartridges and components. A face mask includes a mask component, a replaceable filter component, and a closure component. The replaceable filter component is bonded to and as between the closure component and the mask component when the closure component is attached to the mask component.

A filter medium for removing contaminants from water includes a matrix including a plurality of fibers having an electrostatic charge such that the matrix is configured to remove contaminants from water by electrostatic attraction. The filter medium further includes a filler material including a ceramic substrate containing a mineral. The filler material is embedded in the matrix. When water flows through the filter medium, the mineral at least partially dissolves in the water such that a cavity is formed in the matrix in a location of the at least partially dissolved mineral.

A fluid filter assembly includes a housing, a proximal end cap, and a nut plate. The housing defines a longitudinal axis and includes an inner surface. The inner surface surrounds the longitudinal axis and defines a hook portion. The proximal end cap is disposed within the housing and includes a flange engaging the inner surface of the housing. The nut plate is disposed within the housing and includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end engages the hook portion of the housing. The distal end engages the proximal end cap.
