Abstract: It is intended to provide an air purifying filter media, which has a high dry tensile
strength, a high wet tensile strength in association with a high water resistance,
and a high repellency and exhibits bactericidal/sterilizing or antimicrobial means
properties using enzyme reaction in a gas phase. Namely, an air purifying filter
media having a high dry tensile strength, a high wet tensile strength (a high water
resistance), and a high repellency as well as sterilizing properties which are
obtained by blending a filter media fiber having a functional group with a mixture
of the modified enzyme which has an ionic polarity opposite to the ionic polarity of
the whole filter media fiber as described above, and sterilizing properties with an
ionic synthetic resin binding having the opposite ionic polarity similar to the
modified enzyme.

Abstract: An instrument for measuring sub-pico Tesla magnetic fields using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) inductively coupled to an unshielded gradiometer includes a filter for filtering magnetically-and electrically coupled radio frequency interference (RFI) away from the SQUID. This RFI is principally coupled to the SQUID via the unshielded gradiometer. The filter circuit includes a resistor-capacitor (RC) combination interconnected to first and second terminals so that it is parallel to both an input coil of the SQUID and the gradiometer. In addition, a shielding enclosure is used to electromagnetically shield the filter circuit from the SQUID, and a method is employed to increase the impedance between the input coil and the SQUID without diminishing the overall sensitivity of the instrument.
