B01D 2706, B01D 3514
US Classification:
210132
Abstract:
An improved conical coreless filter element is shown which has an open upper end cap and a lower closed end cap. The conical coreless filter element fits inside a support cage or basket of complimentary conical shape which has a diameter the same size as or slightly larger than the diameter of the conical coreless filter element at any given point. The upper end cap contains sealing means such that it will seal to the filter cage and the filter cage itself has an annular housing adapter or member which seals to a tube sheet or a filter housing. The filter media may be pleated and may be made of a wide variety of materials which may be compactable and/or incinerateable. Likewise the end caps may also be made of a wide verity of materials to provide chemical compatability with the fluids being filtered.

Medical Gas Humidification System

US Patent:
8292840, Oct 23, 2012
Filed:
Nov 18, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/313183
Inventors:
Michael Spearman - The Woodlands TX, US
John H. Burban - North Lake Elmo MN, US
Douglas E. Ott - Macon GA, US
Majid Zia - Saint Paul MN, US
Assignee:
Lexion Medical LLC - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61M 37/00
US Classification:
604 23
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for on-the-go humidifying an insufflation gas through water vapor transfer from a liquid to the insufflation gas through a barrier separating the gas from the liquid to enable the gas in a normally trauma inducing state to be brought to a conditioned state. If the gas is at an improper insufflation temperature the temperature of the gas can be brought to the proper insufflation temperature at the same time the gas is humidified through heat transfer through the barrier.

Method For The Selective Extraction Of Acids, Bases And Polar Salts

US Patent:
8425663, Apr 23, 2013
Filed:
Oct 30, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/980322
Inventors:
Matt Thundyil - The Woodlands TX, US
Michael Spearman - The Woodlands TX, US
Martin Miller - The Woodlands TX, US
Doug Mittlesteadt - Saline MI, US
Heath Burns - Conroe TX, US
Carl Hahn - Sugar Land TX, US
International Classification:
B01D 47/02
US Classification:
95214, 95237, 96300, 96361, 96364
Abstract:
A process for the extraction of an unwanted material from a gas comprising the steps of introducing an extraction liquid into a fluid having an unwanted liquid therein to form a physical aerosol comprising a plurality of extraction liquid droplets and the fluid, allowing the plurality of extraction liquid droplets to interact with the unwanted liquid in the gas to cause the extraction liquid droplets to be “wetted out” and captured on a porous medium, where the liquid is further contacted by the gas and simultaneously formed into a plurality of coalesceable droplets, coalescing the coalesceable droplets into larger droplets containing the unwanted liquid, and separating the larger droplets containing the unwanted liquid from the fluid.

Oxygen Humidifier

US Patent:
7331342, Feb 19, 2008
Filed:
Oct 5, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/958973
Inventors:
Michael Spearman - The Woodlands TX, US
John H. Burban - Lake Elmo MN, US
Robert O. Crowder - Lino Lakes MN, US
Carl M. Geisz - St. Paul MN, US
International Classification:
A61M 15/00, A62B 18/00
US Classification:
12820314, 12820024, 12820316, 12820317
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for separating breathable oxygen gas from a source of gas and then humidifying the oxygen gas while preventing over humidification of the oxygen gas, the apparatus comprising a gas pathway located on a first side of a water transfer member, an oxygen gas pathway located on a second side of the water transfer member and a separator for separating the breathable oxygen gas from a gas located on the first side of the water transfer member and directing the breathable oxygen gas past the second side of the water transfer member while maintaining the pressure of the gas substantially equal to the pressure of the breathable oxygen gas to thereby humidify the breathable oxygen gas while preventing a moisture condensation in the breathable oxygen gas.
