Filters for Non-Plumbed Appliances
20180001239 · 2018-01-04 ·

A filter for a non-plumbed appliance is provided. The filter includes a filter housing defining a filter chamber. A filter inlet and a filter outlet are positioned along a bottom portion of the filter housing, and filter media is positioned within the filter chamber to remove contaminants from water flowing through the filter media. A divider wall is positioned within the filter chamber to direct the flow of water through a flow aperture at a top portion of the filter chamber, such that the filter chamber remains filled with water during operation. As a result, the filter media remains completely submerged, thereby improving filtration performance, reducing pressure drop, and more evenly depleting the filter media.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IN-LINE FILTERING OF DEBRIS IN SWIMMING POOLS AND SPAS
20240424433 · 2024-12-26 · ·

Disclosed are filter systems and methods for swimming pools and spas for leaves and other larger debris. The disclosed filtering devices may be provided in-line with a pool cleaning or filtering system such that filtering devices pre-filter the larger debris before the pool cleaning or filtering system filters smaller debris. In some cases, the filtering devices provide an airtight seal that is easy for a user to open or close as desired. In some cases, the disclosed filtering devices include a filter between an inlet and an outlet that are parallel to and offset from a center axis of the filter. In some cases, the filtering devices are configured to generate horizontal cyclonic flow of water.

Target cell capture filter and target cell capture method

[Object] A target cell capture filter is provided, having an improved capture ratio per unit area, structured as a filter for extracting and capturing target cells contained in a biological sample such as blood or the like in a simple manner, in a short period of time, and with high efficiency. [Solving Means] A target cell capture filter is structured to have a capture face for capturing target cells in a liquid. The target cell capture filter has multiple notches that allows a part of the capture face to be elastically deformed in a direction that is orthogonal to the capture face, thereby providing gaps. At least part of the plurality of notches are a first notch group including multiple notches designed such that there is a difference between the notches in a shortest distance from a greatest deformation location of the notch to an outer edge of the capture face, and such that the same elastic deformation amount is exhibited with respect to the impulse per unit area.

METHOD OF CLEANING BEER AND BEER CLEANING APPARATUS
20170130180 · 2017-05-11 ·

The present invention relates to a method of cleaning or filtering beer, having the following steps: applying beer onto an obliquely positioned filter (10), so that the beer runs down along the obliquely positioned filter (10) and liquid contained therein passes through openings of the filter (10) into a collecting space (20) beneath the filter (10) and solids contained in the beer slide downwards along the obliquely positioned filter (10), and routing the filtered beer out of the collecting space (20).

The invention also relates to a beer cleaning apparatus.

FILTERING DEVICE, PLEATED FILTER, AND METHOD FOR TREATING BALLAST WATER

A filtering device includes a pleated filter that includes a filter base having folds that repeatedly form mountains and valleys and having a cylindrical shape whose direction of an axis is a ridge line direction of the folds and in which the mountains are located outward in a radial direction, an untreated-water nozzle through which untreated water is ejected toward an outer circumferential surface of the pleated filter, a case that includes an outer tubular portion provided so as to surround the pleated filter and including a nozzle opening of the untreated-water nozzle therein, a filtered-water flow path that leads filtered water having passed through the pleated filter from the inside of the cylinder of the pleated filter to the outside of the case, and a discharge flow path through which discharge water that is not filtered by the pleated filter is discharged to the outside of the case. The pleated filter is configured to rotate in a direction about the axis. Ridge lines of the plural mountains of the pleated filter are curved in a shape that expands in a direction opposite to the rotation direction.
