Fiber webs that may be used as filter media are provided. In some embodiments, the filter media may include multiple layers. Each layer may be designed to have separate functions in the filter media. For example, a first layer may be provided for improving dust holding capacity, a second layer for improving efficiency, and a third layer for providing support and strength to the media. By designing the layers to have separate functions, each layer may be optimized to enhance its function without negatively impacting the performance of another layer of the media.

A method of filtering water contained in a squeezable bottle includes filling the squeezable water bottle with water; screwing a portable filtration apparatus onto the squeezable water bottle, the portable filtration apparatus includes a cap piece, the cap piece having a mouthpiece and a threaded portion, wherein the threaded portion is configured to screw onto the squeezable bottle; and a filter fluidly connected to the cap piece, wherein the filter comprises a plurality of hydrophilic hollow fibers and hydrophobic hollow fibers, the hydrophobic fibers are configured to allow air to flow into the squeezable bottle; flowing a filtrate out through the mouthpiece from the filter in response to a pressure differential between an inside portion of the squeezable bottle and an outside portion of the squeezable bottle.

A nonwoven filtration medium that includes a fibrous base media including synthetic and/or fiberglass fibers and microfibrillated cellulose fibers.

A filter assembly for use in an electronics enclosure is disclosed herein. The filter assembly has an inner assembly having a filter material comprising fibrous media and a containment assembly having a first containment layer and a second containment layer. The containment assembly defines an outer perimeter and the first containment layer and a second containment layer are bonded along the outer perimeter in an outer weld area to encapsulate the inner assembly. The outer weld area extends between the outer perimeter and an interior perimeter. The inner assembly defines an inner assembly perimeter that is within the outer perimeter of the containment assembly.

An air filtering cover is adapted to engage with an infant carrier to filter air communicated into an interior cavity thereof. A cover body having two sidewalls and a filter element form a flowpath for air communicating through the body and filter to remove dirt, dust, and pathogens from air reaching the occupant of the interior cavity. The filter may be replaceable within a pocket formed in the cover body. A gauge strip may be positioned on the filter which changes in appearance when the filter needs replacement.

A nonwoven filtration medium that includes a fibrous base media including synthetic and/or natural fibers and microfibrillated cellulose fibers.

An air purification system includes a conduit extending between an inlet and an outlet, each in fluid communication with an enclosed environment. Ambient air from the enclosed environment enters the conduit via the inlet and treated air exits the conduit and enters the enclosed environment via the outlet. The system further includes a fibrous filter disposed within the conduit and configured to treat the ambient air thereby generating the treated air, and a renewal unit disposed within the conduit and configured to renew the fibrous filter.

A device for filtering and separating pressurized liquid mixtures by means of a membrane includes a substantially pressure-tight container in which the membranes are accommodated in a pressure-tight manner. The container has at least one intake for the mixture, as well as at least one outlet for the permeate separated from the mixture by means of the membranes, and at least one outlet for the retentate, also referred to as a concentrate. The pressure-tight container is made of plastic.

Disclosed is a particulate matter (PM) capturing and collecting filter device having a target-coated liquid film. More specifically, disclosed is a PM particle capturing and collecting filter device having a target-coated liquid film in which a spreading phenomenon in which a liquid material spreads outside the filter is suppressed. Disclosed is a filter device for capturing and collecting PM particles, in which a liquid film having interface energy control and capillary force induction is used for effective PM particle capturing and collecting, and a surrounding portion is formed for preventing spreading of a liquid material on a substrate.

A single-layer fibrous substrate comprising, by dry weight compared with the weight of the substrate: between 39.9 and 87.9% natural fibers refined to above 50 SR; between 12 and 60% nanofibrillar polysaccharide; and between 0.1 and 4% of at least one retention agent.
