20120195433 | DETECTION OF AUDIO CHANNEL CONFIGURATION - For an audio file that includes multiple channels of audio data, a novel device for detecting the configuration of the audio channels in the multi-channel audio file is presented. The device performs one or more algorithms to determine whether two or more channels are related. Such algorithms are used to distinguish stereo recordings from dual mono recordings. The algorithms are also used to detect any number of related channels, such as distinguishing six related channels from a set of surround sound microphones versus six unrelated channels (e.g., mono or a mixture of stereo and mono audio channels, etc.) These algorithms compare audio channels in pairs in order to determine which channels are sufficiently related as to constitute a stereo pair or a group. | 08-02-2012 |

20100101993 | FILTER CARTRIDGE HAVING A FILTER WITHIN A FILTER, AND AN ENDPLATE SEALING STRUCTURE ON AN OUTER FILTER ELEMENT - A filter within a filter cartridge design is described that includes a sealing structure on an endplate of an outer filter element. Generally, the sealing structure includes an annular flange on the endplate that can directly seal against an interior surface of a housing when the filter cartridge is assembled for use. During filtration, the annular flange prevents a working fluid from bypassing the outer filter element. The sealing flange can seal with the housing in a press fit engagement. | 04-29-2010 |
20100200490 | FILTER WITH LOCALIZED FLOW ATTACHMENT AND FILTER HEAD - A fluid filter device is described, where a flow attachment member provides a unique interface between the filtering element and a filter head. The fluid filter described herein generally provides a flow structure that is localized and sealed. The flow attachment member is configured to communicate fluid into and out of the fluid filter, and is configured to localize fluid flow both into and out of the fluid filter within a separating structure of the flow attachment member. The flow attachment member further includes a seal structure configured to substantially prevent or at least confine leakage to a localized area away from proximity of the edges of the housing. A composite filter head is described that has integrally molded inlet and outlet fittings. | 08-12-2010 |
20120248024 | Filter with Inner-Sealed Pulsation Dampener - A filter and replacement filter cartridge is provided with a pulsation dampener mounted and sealed to the filter cartridge basket at an inner diameter thereof. The pulsation dampener is captive to the basket such that removal of the basket from the filter housing canister removes all of the basket, filter media, and pulsation dampener as a single unit without separate, loose parts thereof. An axial extension section of the basket facilitates gripping and removal, and maintains a fully seated installed filter position. Sealing is provided without a section of the pulsation dampener interposed between the filter housing canister and lid. | 10-04-2012 |
20120261323 | FILTER APPARATUS WITH TORQUE LIMITING MECHANISM - A filter apparatus is described that has a torque limiting device, which may be a clutch mechanism, and which provides a protective function for a filter, so as to protect a filter from being over tightened and to thereby prevent damage to filter components. The clutch mechanism can also eliminate or reduce the need for torque measurement of certain filter components. The clutch mechanism can be located on one of the fluid filter, a filter head which engages the fluid filter, or a combination of both the fluid filter and the filter head. | 10-18-2012 |

20140083922 | ANTI-ROTATION KNURLS - A filter assembly that includes a shell having anti-rotation features that prevent rotation of the shell relative to the nutplate and a method for producing the disclosed filter assembly are described. The anti-rotation features are knurls and/or surface disruptions that are formed on a surface of a flange on an open end of the shell. The knurls and/or surface disruptions that are formed on a surface on the flange can aid in gripping a surface of an upper groove of the nutplate. | 03-27-2014 |
