Filed:

May 23, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/752826

Inventors:

John Reedy - Pomona CA, US
Steve Rogers - Murrieta CA, US

Assignee:

K&N Engineering, Inc. - Riverside CA

International Classification:

G01N 15/08
G01M 19/00

US Classification:

73 38, 7311431

Abstract:

An apparatus and a system is provided that may be utilized to determine air flow through an air filter and/or a plurality of air filters. The present invention utilizes a demonstration apparatus to illustrate the differences in air flow and air restriction between a plurality of different air filters and filtration media. The apparatus and system utilizes a common plenum which subjects the plurality of air filters to the same differential pressure. The air flows through a first side of the air filter and is measured on the second side of the air filter by utilizing a wind meter or similar device to gauge the amount of air flow velocity of the second side of the filter. Additionally, the apparatus and system utilizes a display means to illustrate the differing air velocity through the second side of the air filter.

International Classification:

G01N 15/08

US Classification:

73 38

Abstract:

An apparatus and a system is provided that may be utilized to determine oil migration and oil displacement from a pre-oiled air filter. The present invention may also be utilized to determine if oil is displaced from the air filter onto a portion of the apparatus for visualization to a user. The present invention utilizes a demonstration apparatus having a system for forcing air through the oil subjected air filter thereby attempting to force displacement of the oil from the air filter. The apparatus utilizes a blowing means whereby the oil infused air filter is subject to higher than normal air flow and whereby the apparatus has a deflection portion whereby if oil is displaced from the air filter, it is deflected onto the deflection portion where it would be physically viewable to an observer present in the vicinity of the apparatus.

Appl. No.:

10/321112

Inventors:

Steve Rogers - Irvine CA, US

Assignee:

COMARCO WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES - Irvine CA

International Classification:

H04Q007/20

US Classification:

455/456100, 455/446000

Abstract:

The invention relates to a system and method for collecting and analyzing data of a wireless communication network including “micro” or “pico” wireless networks. The system collects wireless network performance data utilizing a monitoring device, correlates this information with the monitoring device's location and transmits this time-correlated information to a display device. The system tracks the monitoring device in real-time and provides precise location information of the monitoring device. The system has a built-in self-correction mechanism in a navigational module to verify a test operator's location. In addition, the system also includes an analysis device for post-test processing of the collected cellular radiotelephone network's performance information. The system is portable with long-lasting battery power.
