An apparatus for separating cells from microcarriers comprises a chamber having a body and a base. The chamber is configured to receive a mixture comprising cells and microcarriers. The apparatus further comprises a filtration element disposed within the chamber and coupled to the body. The filtration element is configured to filter microcarriers from the mixture. The apparatus further comprises an adjustment mechanism coupled to the chamber. The adjustment mechanism is configured for selective extension and retraction of at least a portion of the body of the chamber to move the filtration element relative to the base of the chamber.

The invention relates to a composite material for use in a face mask. The composite material comprises at least one fabric layer comprising a metallic fiber material; and at least one polymer layer laminated with the at least one fabric layer to form a single composite layer; wherein the at least one polymer layer is of substantially the same shape and size as the at least one fabric layer, such that any air stream passing through the composite layer will be effectively filtered by both the at least one fabric layer and the at least one polymer layer.

A filter for gas generator has an outer geometry substantially of a hollow cylinder and it is formed by a wound body of a metal wire. The metal wire is made of an elongated member having a V-shaped cross-section orthogonal to a direction of extension thereof. A V-shaped groove defined in the metal wire faces a hollow portion in the filter for gas generator and an angle α of the V-shaped groove is not smaller than 130[°] and not greater than 140[°].

The invention relates to flame protection filters (F) consisting of a number of layer sequences (S1, S2, S3), wherein each of the layer sequences (S1, S2, S3) consists of filter layers (1, 2) arranged one on top of the other. Every layer sequence (S1, S2, S3) consists of a first filter layer (1) and a second filter layer (2) made from a material arranged in the shape of a grating with openings (1.1, 2.1) having an opening width (1.11, 2.11) in each instance. The first filter layer (1) having a free lateral surface (6.3) is a first end filter layer (3) with a first end filter opening width (3.11) and the second filter layer (2) having a free lateral surface (6.4) is a second end filter layer (4) with a second end filter opening width (4.11). The second opening width (2.11) of a second filter layer (2) is smaller than the first opening width (1.11) of a first filter layer (1). The second filter layer (2) is opaque. The invention further relates to an arrangement (10) of at least two flame protection filters (F1, F2) and a housing (9) which is encapsulated in a pressure-tight manner and with at least one flame protection filter (F, F1, F2).

The invention concerns a heat exchanger having an exchange body having first passages for the flow of a first fluid and second passages for the flow of a second fluid exchanging heat with the first fluid, a first inlet manifold for introducing the first fluid into the first passages, a first outlet manifold for discharging the first fluid from the first passages). The heat exchanger also includes an inlet filter arranged facing the inlet surface of the exchange body, and/or an outlet filter arranged facing the outlet surface of the exchange body, the inlet filter and/or the outlet filter having a sheet metallic material selected from a metal gauze, a non-woven fabric of metallic fibres, a sintered metallic powder or sintered metallic fibres.

A filter element and methods of use and forming are provided. The filter element provides water coalescing and separation functions downstream from particulate filtration functions. At least the coalescing stage of the filter element may be glass free. The coalescing stage may have density graded media to accommodate increase water droplet size due to water coalescing.
