Abstract:
A screen device includes a foam body having a passageway that extends longitudinally through the foam body, the foam body has an open cell structure such that at least two surfaces of the foam body are in fluidic communication with one another through the foam body.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for filtering fluids with a compressible filter media within at least a portion of a housing inwardly compressible.
Abstract:
A fluid filter is provided with a case body defining therein a holder and having pressing portions formed on the internal wall surface of the case body. The pressing portions can compress a filter medium housed in the holder. The pressing portions are pressed against the filter medium housed in the holder to compress it and form a compressed region at a desired position of the filter medium, where the rate of capturing extraneous substances is increased. Thus, even if various sizes of the extraneous substances are contained in a fluid introduced through the inlet into the holder, the filter medium can capture the extraneous substances in its entirety. The degree of compression of the compressed region in the filter medium changes depending on the height of each pressing portion.

Abstract:
A separator includes a separation arrangement having a roller; and a belt disposed about the roller. Feed material introduced to the separator such as tar sand, is separated into sand and oil so that discharge from the separator will be substantially separate material streams of sand and oil. A method and system are included.
Abstract:
A multi-faceted intake filter for an aquarium includes a top surface portion, a bottom surface portion and a plurality of side surface portions that collectively define a filter body is formed from a compressible foam. The intake filter also includes a bore that extends along a longitudinal axis of the filter body. The bore includes a first end exposed at the top surface portion that leads to a second end which terminates prior to the bottom surface portion. The bore is designed to receive an intake portion of an aquarium filter tube. Preferably, the bore is off-set from a central axis of the filter body. The off-set bore allows the intake filter to be placed in a wide range of aquarium configurations, with at least one of the side surface portions abutting a wall of the aquarium.
Abstract:
A filter media backwash removal method and device for transporting backwash fluid and solids away from re-entering a housing containing circulating filter media.
Abstract:
An expansible, compressed foam is used a s a filter medium and captured particulates are released from the foam by expanding the foam to open its pores. Micro-organisms such as Cryptosporidium or Giardia cysts may be trapped and recovered at high eficiency in a small volume of wash liquid easing further analysis. A foam filter element comprises thirty discs (36) of retriculated foam compressed between end plates (28,30) to about one tenth of their original thickness.
