Abstract: A filter that includes a first electret filter layer through which an airstream first passes before encountering a second electret filter layer.  The first filter layer exhibits nondecreasing removal efficiency and removes a ma-jority of a challenge aerosol; whereas the second layer exhibits decreasing re-moval efficiency and has an initial quality factor greater than the first layer. Together, the first and second electret filter layers can provide a filter that ex-hibits a nondecreasing removal efficiency and a relatively low pressure-drop.   The filter can provide nondecreasing removal efficiency and reduced pressure drop even though the second electret filter layer exhibits decreasing removal efficiency in contrast to the desired nondecreasing removal efficiency for the filter as a whole.

Patent CA-2410308-A1 (CA)
Title: Ring-wing aircraft
Inventor: LOCK GARY
IPC: B64C39/06
Filed: 2001-04-20
Abstract: This invention relates to ring-wing aircraft and is suited particularly, although not exclusively, to use in micro-unmanned air vehicles (UAV's) with ring-wings. An aircraft (10) according to the invention comprises a ring-wing (11) defining a duct (16) with a longitudinally-extending central axis (31), propulsion means (15) located within the duct and moveable aerofoils (13, 18) for controlling the aircraft in flight, the ring-wing being truncated obliquely at one end, that end being the rear (11b) when in horizontal flight, to form a ring-wing with opposed sides of unequal length. This arrangement produces centre of mass offset from the central axis of the ring-wing, the pendulum effect will ensure that the aircraft will roll so that its centre of mass will always be at the lowest height possible when the aircraft is airborne. Therefore the aircraft has a preferred orientation, and the control surfaces can be oriented with respect to this preferred orientation. In addition, the oblique truncation at the rear keeps the centre of mass towards the front of the aircraft thereby giving improved stability in all three axes.

Title: Semi-rigid collapsible container
Inventor: MELROSE DAVID MURRAY
IPC: B65D79/00
Filed: 2001-08-29
Abstract: A semi-rigid collapsible container (10) has a side-wall with an upper portion (5), a central portion (6), a lower portion (7) and a base (8). The central protion (6) includes a vacuum panel portion having a control portion (2) and an initiator portion (1). The control portion (2) is inclined more steeply in a vertical direction, i.e. has a more acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the container (10), than the initiator portion (1). On low vacuum force being present within the container panel following the cooling of a hot liquid in the container (10), the initiator portion (1) will flex inwardly to cause the control protion (2) to invert and flex further inwardly into the container (10) and the central portion (6) to collapse. In the collapsed state upper and lower portions of the central portion (6) may be in substantial contact so as to contain the top-loading capacity of the container (10).  Raised ribs (3) made an aditional support for the container in its collapsed state. In another embodiment the telescoping of the container back to its original position occurs when the vacuum force is released following removal of the container cap.
