US Patent:

53185900, Jun 7, 1994

Filed:

Jul 31, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/924427

Inventors:

Timothy E. Brennan - Atlantic Highlands NJ
Henry W. Meahan - Highlands NJ

International Classification:

A61J 1700

US Classification:

606234

Abstract:

An infant mask is disclosed having contoured features in relief held in place by a nipple inserted in the infant's mouth. In one embodiment, the contoured mask is removably connected to the nipple. In a second embodiment the mask is made to change shapes as a result of pressure applied to the nipple.

Appl. No.:

5/971191

Timothy E. Brennan - Atlantic Highlands NJ

Assignee:

Wing Industries, Inc. - Cranford NJ

International Classification:

F28D 1900

US Classification:

165 10

Abstract:

An energy exchange wheel having a wrapping hub which surrounds, and is concentric with but spaced from a central hub; an axially perforate matrix of energy exchange material around the wrapping hub; and a rim around the matrix. The axial dimensions of the central hub and the matrix correspond to the wheel depth, the axial dimension of the wrapping hub is between one-quarter and one-half of the wheel depth, and the axial dimension of the rim is at least equal to the axial dimension of the wrapping hub but less than the wheel depth. Tilted bar-like spokes secured to the central and wrapping hubs and to the rim prevent axial movement of the matrix. Also, a method for fabricating such wheel which includes wrapping the matrix material around the wrapping hub and a second, temporary wrapping hub, removal of the second hub, cutting of tilted slots in the matrix, surrounding the slotted matrix with a rim, inserting the spokes in the tilted slots, and securing the spokes to the central hub, the retained wrapping hub and the rim.

International Classification:

B01D 2704
B01D 2914

US Classification:

210496

Abstract:

Cylindrical fibrous structures comprising a fibrous mass of nonwoven, synthetic, polymeric microfibers wherein the microfibers are substantially free of fiber-to-fiber bonding and secured to each other by mechanical entanglement or intertwining, the fiber structure having a substantially constant voids volume over at least a substantial portion of the structure and, preferably, a graded fiber diameter structure, both as measured in the radial direction. The structures are particularly useful as depth filters.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

Cylindrical fibrous structures comprising a fibrous mass of nonwoven, synthetic, polymeric microfibers wherein the microfibers are substantially free of fiber-to-fiber bonding and secured to each other by mechanical entanglement of intertwining, the fiber structure having a substantially constant voids volume over at least a substantial portion of the structure and, preferably, a graded fiber diameter structure, both as measured in the radial direction. The structures are particularly useful as depth filters. The process for preparing such fibrous structures comprises the steps of: (a) extruding synthetic, polymeric material from a fiberizing die and attenuating the extruded polymeric material to form microfibers by the application of one or more gas streams directed toward a rotating mandrel and a forming roll in operative relationship with the mandrel; (b) cooling the synthetic, polymeric microfibers prior to their collection on the mandrel to a temperature below that at which they bond or fuse together, thereby substantially eliminating fiber-to-fiber bonding; and (c) collecting the cooled microfibers on the mandrel as a nonwoven, synthetic fibrous mass while applying a force on the exterior surface of the collected microfibers by the forming roll; wherein the process variables are controlled to form the cylindrical fiber structure with at least the major portion of the fibrous mass having a substantially constant voids volume.
