Title: Filtration media and method of manufacture
Inventor: SUNDET DOUGLAS C C O MINNESOTA
IPC: D04H1/42
Filed: 1990-11-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to filtration material, more particularly, filtration material that is suitable for air filtration in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems. The primary objective of a high performance air filter is to provide maximum particle removal while maintaininng an acceptable pressure drop. Conventional fibrous filters obtain improved particle removal efficiency by using filaments having small diameter, which can be packed closely together. This close packing results in smaller voids between the fibers, which increases the probability that particles will be intercepted by a fiber. This increase in particle removal is, however, accompanied by an increase in pressure drop. Excessive pressure drops can restrict air flow and shorten filter life. This invention provides filtration material comprising a web comprising continuous, meltblown fibers and staple, electrically charged fibers randomly dispersed among the continuous fibers. The filtration material can be formed in planar configurations and in configurations other than planar. Non-planar configurations can extend the useful working area for a given filter element's cross-section without requiring an additional corrugating or pleating process step. The filtration material exhibits high strength and low pressure drop.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB89/01452 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 15, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 15, 1991 PCT Filed Dec. 5, 1989 PCT Pub. No. WO90/06343 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 14, 1990.The polysaccharide araban is extracted from sugar beet by a novel modification of the known alkaline extraction process in which, after neutralization of the alkaline liquor, the liquor is ultrafiltered and the retentate is dried to obtain dry araban. Araban, obtained by the above process or otherwise, is incubated with alpha -L-arabinofuranosidase to cleave most or all of the branches from the araban. The debranched araban forms an aqueous gel which has the properties of a fat mimetic and may be used as a fat substitute in foods. Isolated debranched araban derived from crude sugar beet araban is a novel substance. Araban itself may be used in the novel applications of emulsification and encapsulation of oils, for example flavor oils.

Title: Printed material support holder.
Inventor: MEYER STEPHEN T FOUNTAIN ROAD
IPC: A47F7/14
Filed: 1990-01-05
Abstract: A molded plastic holder for printed material includes a substantially flat support panel which is designed to be mounted to any vertical surface. Molded as part of and integrally joined to the support panel along a lower edge is a curved clip which curves outwardly at its base so as to provide a clearance space to receive the material and then extends inwardly in order to create a pressure point which presses against any material placed in the holder in order to retain the material securely in place. The integrally molded clip has an inherent spring tension which allows it to be easily pulled forward for the insertion of material into the holder and to spring back to apply the desired holding force. Although the majority of support for the articles in the holder is provided by that material simply resting against the lower inside surface of the clip at its point of connection to the support panel, the pressure added by the clip helps to retain the material in position and with certain types of material, the slight pressure added by the clip bends the material slightly such that its outer edges are easily accessible to be grasped by the user when the material is to be withdrawn from the holder.
