"Golden nuggets sprinkled throughout"
Michael Hyatt does a great job of breaking down into logical, sequential steps, exactly what it takes to develop and maintain an effective platform. There is so much valuable information in this book!
Read by the author. Captivates your attention.
No. This was my first listen.
The book itself is not a novel, so doesn't really "move you" per se.... That said, it does a great job at fulfilling the intended purpose of informing readers how to develop their own platform effectively.
I've purchased the hard copy book as well so I can sift through all of this valuable information over time and continue to use it as a reference for developing my own platform. Great book!

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Battle in Court, May Never Get Divorcedby Hilton Hater at . Comments
As a dig at Kris Humphries, Kim Kardashian appears in a new Kanye West music video just as her current boyfriend is slamming her estranged husband.
Following events today in court, however, the reality star may need to come up with more overt ways to bash the heck out of this professional baller.
Attorneys for both sides of this failed marriage - Laura Wasser for Kim and Marshall Waller for Kris - appeared before Judge Stephen Moloney in L.A. Superior Court.
The goal? To essentially figure out why the heck a 72-day marriage with a prenuptial agreement is taking so long to legally destroy.
The answer, according to Waller, is that he simply needs time to collect the evidence that will supposedly prove Kardashian defrauded his client into marriage. And Kardashian's lawyer isn't really helping him gather what he needs to.
"I don't want to use the word uncooperative, but they are not making the process easier," Waller told the judge, adding that he plans to depose 33 witnesses and has so far been unsuccessful in obtaining Kris Jenner's business records.
He said it could take four more months to collect all the discovery he desires.Wasser, meanwhile, has no clue what to make of all this.
She says Humphries actually sent a process server with a Nordstrom box to Kardashian's home. Inside was a deposition request for West.
"To say I am frustrated is an understatement," said Wasser, who has claimed in the past that Humphries is simply dragging out this battle for PR purposes and plans on making him pay the $250,000-plus in legal fees that Kim has accrues so far.
She had a simple question for the judge today: "To what end does he want this annulment?"
It's unclear, and it may remain that way for a very long time: Judge Moloney set the next court date at November 28 for a status conference..
Something new pls!
There is no incentive what so ever for Hump to get divorced. He was used as a pawn for the lying Gypsies to make money then cast [?] aside like a used tissue. Now Kim Lardass is in the headlines talking babies and growing old as The Perfect Bitch for Kanye. If she wants that, pay Hump half of what you made from the fake wedding.
(sigh) Well, at least it'll spare us a Kayne-Kim mega-over publicized wedding extravaganza (if Kris 'n Kim can't finalize their divorce) with all the usual hype that is only fodder for that ridiculous Kardashian reality show including the big, longed for episode, "Kim crams her big ass into a designer WHITE wedding gown...AGAIN!" Oh, and also spare us having to hear just how many gazillions Kayne and Kim make on their wedding selling rights to photos, footage...plus all the freebies they grab up from vendors who desire to be a part of this nuptial nightmare just for the braggin' rights!
Kris H is such a jerk-:(
Oh, for fu*k sake, BOTH sides are to blame. They are ALL a bunch of media, money hungry bastards!
Kris MOVE ON, let her go... this is ridiculous!

North Devon diary
The Southwest of England is quiet, but it boasts an active cultural life.
One of the many enjoyable things about living in England is that, no matter where you are, if you drive for an hour you'll likely end up in a completely different microclimate. So driving from London to North Devon, in the southwest of England bordering on the Irish Sea, can be discombobulating this time of year. Spring in this part of the country is a good two to three weeks behind London. Or London Spring is two to three weeks ahead of where it should be—it depends on your perspective. But being out here for nine days, with nothing to do except for walking and reading, lets me experience early spring for a second time, and it's just as good the second time around.
Of course, out here they had a very wet and stormy winter—London was relatively peaceful by comparison. Continue reading
Lonely tulip dreams of freedom
Cherry blossom season: Happy Equinox from S&R
As Robert Herrick put it back in 1648:
I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers:
Of April, May, of June, and July flowers.
I sing of Maypoles, Hock-carts, wassails, wakes,
Of bridegrooms, brides, and of their bridal cakes.
Book Review: Danger in Blackwater Swamp by Saundra Kelley
Suspense, yes…but an awful lot of thoughtful – and realistic – romance, too…
Danger in Blackwater Swamp by Saundra Kelley is one of those interesting books that benefits from having an identity crisis. Its principle desire is, I think, to be a standard offering in the suspense genre. Instead it winds up being only partly a suspense tale (to the author's credit, it will bring readers to the edge of their seats at multiple points in the narrative); with – or without – the author's permission, it also offers us a set of mature, engrossing characters in the protagonists who have lived and loved and lost – and who may (we begin to hope as we get to know them) get to love again. As I read this book I found myself reminded of Anthony Trollope's dictum about the characters he (or any writer) might create. To paraphrase, Trollope observes that characters have to do what they have to do – and it's up to the author to be wise enough to allow characters that freedom. Lucky for readers, Saundra Kelley is an author that wise.
Climate Illogic: Poisoning discussion is easier than countering climate science
If you can't dispute the facts, attacking your opponent may distort the debate before it even starts.For more posts in this series, please click here.
Debates can be difficult. This is especially true when you're arguing against subjects that are nearly indisputable, such as evolution or industrial climate disruption (aka climate change). When faced with this situation, it is nearly always easier to create a distraction than it is to argue with either the science or the data underlying it. If the distraction is successful, then you don't even have to debate the science or data at all – you get to focus on something that you choose and that may be totally unrelated to the argument at hand.
In discussions of climate disruption there are a number of common distractions. For example, the term "catastrophic global warming" is a straw man – a claim that scientists don't actually make that's easier to debate than the actual nature of climate change and model projections. Similarly, the argument that the supposedly missing tropospheric hot spot disproves greenhouse gas-driven climate disruption is another straw man, in this case because it's not the hot spot that demonstrates greenhouse gases, but rather the heating in the troposphere and the cooling in the stratosphere.
Sometimes, however, deniers of industrial climate disruption try to derail any discussion of climate science before it even starts. One way they do this is by using a tactic and logical fallacy known as "poisoning the well," and it's the focus of today's Climate Illogic. Continue reading

Climate change in the Department of Defense 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review
For the fourth time since 2008 the Defense Department finds that climate change will exacerbate tensions and conflict.
In June 2008, the Department of Defense under then President George W. Bush published its 2008 National Defense Strategy. In this document was a single mention of climate change as one of trends and risks that could "pose a new range of challenges for states and societies" that "will affect existing security concerns such as international terrorism and weapons proliferation."
Since then, the Department of Defense (DoD) has discussed climate change in major strategy documents three additional times. The latest, the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review, was published today (March 4). In the executive summary to the Review, the DoD writes that
The impacts of climate change may increase the frequency, scale, and complexity of future missions, including defense support to civil authorities, while at the same time undermining the capacity of our domestic installations to support training activities.

How we find our way: Denny Wilkins' Mapping Utah – a Review
Knowing where you're going takes all the fun out of getting there…
Kara McAllister is lost and she knows it. That's why she is drawn to a strange Rand- McNally map of the Inter-mountain West that she finds in a Powell's Bookstore in Portland as she is running away from a failed relationship, a successful career – and herself. How she comes to find a new relationship, a new career, and, ultimately, herself, is the central narrative of Denny Wilkins' first novel, Mapping Utah.
It's Kara who is the protagonist of this work. That must be understood before the novel's achievement reveals itself. There are plenty of antagonists: bad guys who would ruin delicate wilderness areas for their petty amusements, corrupt police and politicians who sell the public trust, bad lovers who see their relationships as conveniences.
But there's only one Kara. And it's her deconstruction and reconstruction that drives Wilkins' novel and makes Mapping Utah more than a ripping good yarn – which it is, by the way.
This is a book with romance, geology, action, botany, suspense, technology, politics, weightlifting. There's a way in for almost any reader, in other words, no matter how escapist or academic or transactional (think "how to") his/her tastes might be. Continue reading
Roy Spencer calls climate scientists and activists "global warming Nazis"
Roy Spencer's rant on climate change "deniers" vs. "global warming Nazis" indicates that his signature achievements are in the past.
There was a point when climate scientist Roy Spencer was widely respected for essentially inventing the method that scientists use to measure the Earth's temperature from satellites. But since the early 1990s, Spencer's reputation has suffered a number of self-inflicted injuries. For example, Spencer's evangelical faith has led him to reject evolution in favor of intelligent design. And he's been quick to conclude that global warming is overblown while only reluctantly accepting corrections that have nearly always shown his conclusions were biased cold. In short, Spencer has demonstrated that he is no longer able to separate his biases from his science.
But Spencer's post calling climate experts and global warming activists "global warming Nazis" in response to being called a "denier" of global warming indicates that Spencer – who has been called to testify before Congress at least three times – has finally gone completely off the rails.

Climate change in the UK: a complete and utter failure of political will
Britain is in the grip of some of the worst winter weather in years. In fact, maybe 100 years—that's what meteorologists are calling the winter rains and storms we've been experiencing. Here in London it hasn't been particularly bad—a warmer winter than usual, not a drop of snow in sight, but plenty of wind and rain, and occasionally a tree goes down. Down southwest way, however, it's another story. Somerset is experiencing horrific flooding—as are Devon and Cornwall. Entire towns are now being evacuated following a series of storms that show no signs of ending.

Happy Imbolc from Scholars & Rogues
I've never quite understood the conventions surrounding the terms "midsummer" and "midwinter." Each is used to describe the solstice – June 21st or so and December 21st or so – which are, as you know, the beginnings of summer and winter, not the middle.
Today is Imbolc, which we popularly celebrate as Groundhog Day.(I'm not sure whether Punxatawney Phil saw his shadow this morning, but if he were in Seattle with me he wouldn't be able to see as far as his nose for all the fog, never mind his shadow.) In Gaelic cultures it's called St. Brighid's Day and the Catholics, in their campaign to appropriate all things pagan, call it Candlemas. Whatever you call it, today is the middle of winter.
Pagans of all sorts, both historical and contemporary, celebrate Imbolc as one of the eight Sabbats, or high holy days. Continue reading
Supreme Court "Friend of the Court" brief challenges EPA's climate change, greenhouse gas regulations
Playing fast and loose with both climate science and logic in a Supreme Court brief is a good way to destroy your own credibility.
Click here for the other posts in this series
In June, 2012, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals' ruled that the Clean Air Act permitted the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) as pollutants. Multiple industry groups and states appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court in March, 2013, and the Court agreed to hear part of the appeal in October, 2013. Specifically, the Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments on whether or not the Clean Air Act automatically required the EPA to regulate stationary sources like power plants as a result of the EPA finding that motor vehicles were a source of pollution. The Court refused to hear arguments on whether or not the EPA had the authority to find greenhouse gases a pollutant, or to regulate them as pollutants.
Even though the Supreme Court refused to hear arguments related to the EPA's science-based endangerment finding, a group of 12 self-described "experts" submitted a Brief of Amici Curiae, also known as a "Friend of the Court" brief [hereafter "the brief"], to the Court on December 16, 2013. The brief asks the Supreme Court to overturn the DC Appeals Court ruling and the entire endangerment finding even though the Court refused to hear arguments on those issues. Continue reading

S&R Honors: Ellen MacArthur
I first became aware of Ellen MacArthur in 2001, along with everyone else, when she launched her first solo round-the-world sailing adventure. She was a sailor, all right, so I could empathize. Actually, she had been a terrific sailor for a number of years before that, but who pays attention but other sailors? She came in second that year in the Vendee Globe round the world sailing race, a pretty remarkable achievement for a 25-year old woman. She kept racing, picking up an MBE along the way. Along with having an asteroid named after her. In 2004, she nearly broke the record for a transatlantic crossing, falling short by an hour and a quarter. More to the point, at age 29, and still only 5'2" tall, she established the world record for the fastest circumnavigation in 2005. Continue reading
Overpopulation makes a mockery of citizenship
"Countdown" by Alan Weisman: required reading for earthlings.
In his highly acclaimed book World Without Us (Picador, 2008), Alan Weisman speculated on how the earth would fare in our absence (even worse … then much better, thank you). In his most recent book, Countdown (Little, Brown and Company, 2013), Weisman chronicles the impact of population growth on the earth. He attempts to determine its ― in technocrat speak ― "carrying capacity" and reports on what forces are working towards and against that end. As you can imagine, much of it revolves around agriculture, resources, and climate change. Countdown is required reading for all earthlings. Continue reading

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Taj Gibson scored 17 points off the bench as the Chicago Bulls defeated the Charlotte Bobcats, 105-75, on Friday at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Gibson, one of eight Bulls to score in double-digits, was 8-of-11 from the field for Chicago, which came into the game off a loss against Miami on Thursday.
Luol Deng had 14 points and five rebounds, while Nate Robinson, Jimmy Butler and Marco Belinelli scored 12 points apiece. Carlos Boozer recorded a double- double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
"We liked the way were able to bounce back after a bad loss," said Gibson. "Last year we wouldn't allow ourselves to lose two straight games. We need that same mindset."
Kemba Walker had a game-high 27 points for the Bobcats, who lost their second straight and 10 of their past 12 games. Walker was 9-of-17 from the field, including 4-of-6 from behind the arc.
"Those guys just know where they are supposed to be," said Walker. "They help really well. They do their coverages really well. They are a really good defensive team. They communicate, they move. They play really good defense."
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 10 points and seven rebounds, while Bismack Biyombo recorded seven points and 12 rebounds.
Leading 24-15 after the first quarter, the Bulls went on a 16-4 run in the first 4 1/2 minutes of the second to take a 40-19 lead. Chicago remained in control for the rest of the game.
Charlotte tried to come back and was able to cut the deficit to 51-37 by the end of the half.
However, it was the closest the Bobcats were able to get.
Chicago extended its lead even to 22, 73-51 with 2:44 remaining in the third quarter, before a 3-pointer and a three-point play by Walker put the Bobcats within 73-57, with 1:23 to go.
A pair of free throws by Joakim Noah and a 3-pointer by Deng with seconds left gave the Bulls a 78-57 lead into the fourth.
With a commanding lead, all of Chicago's starters, except for Noah, were out of the game in the fourth. Chicago, though, still outscored Charlotte 27-18 in the frame.
Chicago has won five of their six past games against Charlotte ... Charlotte's
three highest-paid players -- Ben Gordon, Tyrus Thomas and Gana Diop -- and
Josh McRoberts, who was acquired in a trade from Orlando on Thursday, did not
play ... Michael Jordan, Bobcats' owner and former Bulls star, sat at the end
of the Charlotte bench, but left with about three minutes left in the
first half and did not return.

Arizona is growing by leaps and bounds. This is especially true in the East Valley. And as people move to these areas, they will need to fill daily living needs, including grocery shopping.
That's why Arizona grocery stores say there is a growing need to find customer-service oriented employees, and soon.
According to data from Arizona Workforce Informer, the food and beverage stores in Arizona employed more than 50,000 in 2004, the latest data available.
"We're always hiring. We're always growing," said Rob Johnson, customer relations and public relations specialist with Bashas' Supermarkets.
At stores around the East Valley, there are those jobs the public comes face to face with: The cashiers, deli clerks and courtesy clerks. But behind the scenes, like any industry, there is a need for IT folks, administrative assistants, human resource and public relations specialists, buyers and real estate specialists to target the next location.
"There's just a great deal of diversity in an industry that's very stable and steady," said Kendra Doyel, director of public relations with Fry's Food Stores.
Doyel started as a pharmacy technician with Fry's, moved into a licensed pharmacist position and then went onto jobs in special projects and public relations.
"I really like the opportunity to help take care of people and it's constantly changing. There's always something new and different right around the corner. The benefits and wages packages that the food industry offers are great," Doyel said.
Johnson said one appeal of working in the food industry in Arizona is the competitive nature of the business.
""If you like competition then the grocery industry in Arizona is for you," he said. "The competition is fierce. If you like knowing that your contribution is making a dramatic impact then this is a great place to be."
Not only are the stores around Arizona launching new locations, they're launching new concepts: Specialized stores, home delivery and shopping services, and more. Bashas' is launching a "farmer's market" in Phoenix later this year and specialty stores are always entering the market.
Grocery chains are some of the largest employers in Arizona, with Bashas', Fry's Food Stores and Albertson's ranking in the top 10 in recent years.

Congress wants more clarity on how agencies decide whether to insource work being performed by a small business, according to the defense authorization conference report released Dec. 19.
The final version of the fiscal 2013 National Defense Authorization Act , which the House approved by a vote of 315-107 late on Dec. 20, would require the Office of Management and Budget to publish procedures and methods for agencies to use when deciding whether to insource a small-business contractor's work. Officials would also have to share how they determined which contracts to consider for potential conversion.
Individual agencies would have to publish their procedures if they develop agency-specific approaches to identifying critical functions, which are defined as work that is "necessary to the agency being able to effectively perform and maintain control of its mission and operations."
The Office of Federal Procurement Policy released a policy letter in 2011 telling agencies to decide case-by-case whether work should be performed by their own employees rather than contractors.
Overall, though, a recent survey of more than 40 senior federal officials found the insourcing vs. outsourcing debate has stabilized in the middle. In the past two years, 62 percent of respondents said the use of contractors in acquisition has remained relatively the same. Furthermore, 67 percent expect little change in the coming two years. Only 7 percent said their use of contractors has increased since 2010, and 8 percent foresee further increases. Some officials said the budget crunch has played a part in the stasis because they lack the money and clarity to make solid plans.
"With government [full-time equivalents], you are invested," one survey respondent said. "With contractors, you have more flexibility to meet your needs and then let them go."
The question of insourcing caused a ruckus in the acquisition community in 2010 and 2011 as agencies were encouraged to do more for themselves. Companies saw the shift as a loss of jobs, while others favored it as way to put the government back in control of its own operations.
In 2011, OFPP defined the jobs that only a federal employee can perform and the work closely associated with those jobs. But the survey found those definitions "only marginally useful in helping agencies making improved resource decisions."
The Senate still must approve the conference report and then send the final defense bill to President Barack Obama to be signed into law. A vote on the conference report is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Dec. 21.

Lakewood Ranch gun club gets approval
Date: March 20, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff writer
Manatee County Hearing Officer Lori Dorman officially approved a special permit for the long-debated gun club in Lakewood Ranch when she issued her final order yesterday.
The order must be recorded as official record with the Manatee County Clerk of Court before the club opens, at a still undetermined but near date.
Previously Dorman had reopened a public hearing for the club after an initial letter of intent to approve.
In her final order, Dorman pointed to findings by an engineer hired by Schroeder-Manatee Ranch, the club's developer, who ran sound tests around the proposed property.
Decibel readings ranged from 43.2 to 47.7 — below the 60-decibel county limit.
Officials and parents from the Center for Montessori School and officials from Bayside Community Church, both neighboring residents to the proposed site, had expressed reservations about the gun club's proximity to their facilities.
Ancient Oak Gun Club will operate from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Pistols and rifles will not be allowed.

If "Hip-Hop Cities" were to come up as a category in Family Feud, "Vancouver" might not be the first name to roll off your tongue. Nonetheless, it offers a caliber of talent that can compete with the game's best and and brightest. On his latest promo single, local rhymesayer e.d.g.e. gives us an idea of just how lofty the Vancity Standard is, lacing HiPNOTT producer Danny Diggs' boom-bap sample work with raw and uncompromising lyrical flames. A chorus sampled from Common's 6th Sense and DJ Honda's Mos Def-assisted Travellin' Man (Remix) accents the record's throwback vibe. If this cut leaves you craving more hot beats and rhymes from north of the US border, keep it locked to the Booth; while Standard isn't attached to any forthcoming project, we'll keep you supplied with all the latest from e.d.g.e.

I Love Adam Lambert
The best singer ever on American Idol 313 People
I Like Adam Because..He is an awesome singer and entertainer! He does what he thinks fits in the show and that voice, speachless. And because he made me realize something. In some intervieuw he said that if you're in the closet during high school you don't have the same experiences that others do...

An adsorption filter having at least one layer of activated carbon particles is, with regard to the object of refining an adsorption filter of the described type, to be refined in such a way that it has a distinctly improved penetration characteristic compared to conventional filters involving a configuration which is as simple and cost-effective as possible and that at least 20 percent by weight of the activated carbon particles have a particle size of less than 0.180 mm and that the total mass per unit area of activated carbon is between 100 g/m2 and 500 g/m2. The adsorption filter can provide a high spontaneous adsorption performance.
1. An adsorption filter comprising:
at least one layer of activated carbon particles, at least 20% of the activated carbon particles having a particle size of less than 0.180 mm and a mass per unit area of activated carbon being between 100 g/m2 and 500 g/m2.

8. The adsorption filter as recited in
9. A combination filter including an adsorption filter as recited in
10. The combination filter as recited in
This claims the benefit of German Patent Application No. 10 2004 058 167.3, filed Dec. 2, 2004 and hereby incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to an adsorption filter having at least one layer of activated carbon particles.
Elements known as combination filters are currently used in many systems, in motor vehicle air conditioning systems in particular. These are particle filters for trapping particles including a downstream activated carbon layer for adsorbing gases. As a rule, the activated carbon layer is composed of carbon grains which may be attached to a substrate made of nonwoven fabric, for example. The particle sizes and carbon amounts used represent a compromise between adsorption capacity, penetration characteristics, and air permeability. The grain sizes of the activated carbon particles used are typically in the range of 20�60 mesh (mesh size according to ASTM designation D 2862-97). This translates into particle sizes between 0.25 mm and 0.85 mm. Typical application amounts of activated carbon per surface unit are between 250 g/m2-500 g/m2.
Numerous suggestions for improving the penetration behavior of an adsorption filter are known from the related art. As a rule, these are filter configurations in which a filter section having high spontaneous adsorption is added to a conventional adsorption filter including carbon grains or carbon balls.
An adsorption filter is known from German Patent No. 197 08 692, for example, which is divided into two filter sections for improving the penetration behavior while simultaneously maintaining the greatest possible level of air permeability and adsorption capacity. The first filter section is supposed to adsorb up to 99% of the pollutants and should therefore have a high capacity. The second section should have only a low capacity, but a high adsorption rate. The publication describes the use of granular activated carbon or ball-shaped activated carbon (particle size approximately 0.3 mm-1.0 mm; total carbon amount: approximately 400 g/m2-500 g/m2) as the adsorbent for the first section and preferably textile fabrics of activated carbon for the second section. U.S. Pat. No. 4,906,263, hereby incorporated by reference herein, also describes an adsorption filter.
Very good penetration characteristics should be achievable using the known filter. However, this filter and the other filters described in the publications have the disadvantage of, as a rule, a very complex and expensive configuration which is reflected in both the material costs as well as the manufacturing costs.
An object of the present invention is to refine an adsorption filter of the type mentioned above in such a way that it has clearly improved penetration characteristics compared to the conventional filters, with a configuration that is as simple and as cost-effective as possible.
The present invention provides that, in an adsorption filter which includes at least one layer of activated carbon particles, at least 20 percent by weight of the activated carbon particles have a particle size of less than 0.180 mm and that the total mass per unit area of activated carbon amounts to between 100 g/m2 and 500 g/m2.
The adsorption filter according to the present invention exhibits very good penetration characteristics. The adsorption rate was able to be substantially increased by using smaller particle sizes. The reduction of the particle size is typically accompanied by an undesirable decrease in the air permeability of the filter medium. According to the present invention, this is counteracted by the fact that the amount of activated carbon used is able to be reduced way below the amounts normally used at the expense of the adsorption capacity. Contrary to the notion prevailing in the related art that, in addition to a good adsorption rate, a high performance adsorption filter must also have an adsorption capacity that is as high as possible�that is why the high performance adsorption filter known from the above-mentioned German Patent No. 197 08 692 C2 has a section with a high adsorption rate as well as a section with a high proportion of activated carbon and thus a high adsorption capacity�the inventors have recognized that the level of the achievable adsorption capacity does not command the importance for the function of a filter as was previously assumed.
The inventors have recognized in particular that the pollution loads to be found in road traffic mostly occur only as short-term concentration peaks which may be very well eliminated by using a quickly responding adsorption filter having a high spontaneous adsorption rate and in which the adsorption capacity plays only a secondary role. Moreover, it has been found within the scope of endurance tests and subjective performance evaluations (DIN 10950: �sensory training� and DIN 13725: �olfactometry�) of combination filters having conventional adsorption filters that the level of the adsorption capacity according to DIN 71460/2 does not represent a measure for the filter endurance or the subjective odor reduction characteristic of combination filters.
According to the present invention, it has finally been recognized that an increase in the proportion of activated carbon particles to 20 percent by weight, which are smaller than 0.180 mm, already results in an appreciable improvement in the spontaneous adsorption. According to the present invention, the total mass per unit area of the activated carbon is between 100 g/m2 and 500 g/m2. These values represent a compromise between good air permeability of the filter medium and sufficient adsorption capacity. If the total mass per unit area of activated carbon falls below a value of 100 g/m2, then the contact probability of the molecules to be adsorbed with the activated carbon is too low. The adsorption performance of the filter deteriorates as a result thereof and a channeling effect could occur. However, if the upper limit of 500 g/m2 is exceeded, then the air permeability of the filter medium deteriorates too severely.
The present invention thus permits the suitable selection of the mixture of the application quantity made up of the fine portion and the coarse portion of activated carbon in such a way that a high adsorption rate is implementable with preferably good air permeability and filter action. To this end, the present invention also includes adsorption filters which include a mixture of activated carbon particles, the mixture including coarse and fine portions, and the mixture ratio of coarse portions and fine portions as well as the total quantity of the activated carbon particles being selected in such a way that the filter characteristics of the adsorption filter according to the present invention are implemented.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least 30 percent by weight, particularly preferred more than 50 percent by weight, of the activated carbon particles have a particle size of smaller than 0.180 mm. This further increases the adsorption rate, but the air permeability is still sufficiently good.
Very good values with regard to air permeability may still be achieved with a total mass per unit area of activated carbon of 250 g/m2. Particularly good results with regard to penetration characteristics, air permeability, and adsorption capacity are achieved with a total mass per unit area of activated carbon between 150 g/m2 and 230 g/m2.
The activated carbon particles are preferably attached to a substrate of nonwoven fabric or embedded in such a nonwoven fabric. The techniques for this are known and widely described in the patent literature.
The adsorption filter could be used in particular in a combination filter of the type mentioned above, which includes a particle-filtering section, e.g., a particle filter made of nonwoven fabric which may be electrostatically charged, and a pollutant-adsorbing section.
The adsorption filter may also be used in combination with multiple particle filters and/or additional adsorption filters which may be directed toward specific pollutants and may have different adsorbent materials. The activated carbon particles and/or the adsorbent materials used in combination with the adsorption filter may, in a manner known per se, be treated partially or collectively with an acid, a catalyst, or a base.
The adsorption filter may have the same geometry as conventional filters, e.g., designed as a plate filter or a zigzag filter.
It is also conceivable that the adsorption filter is designed as a filter cartridge. This design makes a compact placement of the filter in a suitable housing possible.
The adsorption filter could be designed as a respirator filter. This design enables the use in places where substances are used which are harmful to the lungs.
The adsorption filter could be used, for example, as a component of a combination filter, in particular in automatic motor vehicle air conditioning systems. Such air conditioning systems are characterized to an increasing degree by the fact that, during high pollution loads or concentrations, the switch to recirculating air operation, in which the air supply from the outside is stopped and the air in the car interior is recirculated instead, takes place automatically. Pollution sensors are provided in the air intake for this purpose, which measure the pollution load or concentration of the sucked in air (particularly hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides) and output a signal to the controller of the air conditioning system for closing the air circulation valve. This prevents high pollution concentrations in the ambient air from entering the passenger compartment. There is the problem here that a time period of several seconds elapses from the time when the pollution concentration enters the intake area and the pollution sensor outputs the signal until the complete closing of the air circulation valve and the pollutant in a high concentration is conducted into the air conditioning system and thus through the combination filter during this time. There is a great danger of the pollutant penetrating through the filter. It has been found that the adsorption filter according to the present invention has such a great spontaneous absorption performance that a penetration of pollutants into the passenger compartment during the system-related closing time of the air circulation valve of several seconds is largely prevented, even in the presence of high pollution concentrations. If the filter that is discussed here is used, this effect makes it possible to greatly simplify the design of air circulation valve systems, thereby slowing down their closing characteristics. This makes substantial cost savings possible. Moreover, in the event of a low pollution load which does not yet trigger the pollution sensor, the adsorption capacity of the adsorption filter according to the present invention is sufficient to adsorb the pollutants flowing through.
Sensors operate to some extent selectively and do not detect all molecules which are inherent in odors and pollutants. However, the adsorption filter could also adsorb all passing molecules when the sensor is not activated, thereby ensuring that no undesirable pollutants are able to occur.
Measures for desorption of the pollutants from the adsorption filter may also be provided, such as heating of the filter, e.g., by blowing hot air, or by increasingly blasting the filter, and the air, loaded with the pollutants, must be directed past the passenger compartment via a bypass line during the desorption process.
The adsorption filter also has advantages in connection with a manual operation of the air circulation valve.
In particular in connection with the possibility of switching to air circulation operation in the event of pollution loads, the adsorption filter according to the present invention exhibits, despite a smaller adsorption capacity which is ascertainable via measurement (according to DIN 71460/2), the same filter life as the known filters, since during actual use in the event of high pollution loads of the ambient air, the filter is �protected� due to the closing of the air circulation valve and the adsorption material is thus not loaded with pollutants. During air circulation operation, the adsorption filter may be situated either on the upstream side of the air circulation valve and the ambient air no longer streams through it when the air circulation valve is closed, or it may be situated downstream from the air circulation valve where only the vehicle interior air streams through it during air circulation operation. In contrast to known filters, the benefit, namely the subjective odor reduction, is clearly improved using the adsorption filter according to the present invention.
Although the properties and advantages of the adsorption filter according to the present invention are described above in connection with motor vehicle applications, the adsorption filter according to the present invention is by no means restricted to these applications. It may be used in all types of filter systems, e.g., also in air conditioning systems for climate control of spaces in buildings or in mobile indoor air purifiers.
The present invention will be explained in greater detail below based on exemplary embodiments and the drawings, in which:
The n-butane penetration has been determined for three combination filters including adsorption filters having different quantities of activated carbon as well as for one standard commercially available combination filter. The filters were designed as known prefolded filters having a filter medium 10 folded in a zigzag shape and enclosed by a frame 12, as shown schematically in
Manufacturing of a filter is subject to variations. It has to be taken into account here that the actual application quantity of activated carbon may deviate from the setpoint quantity by 20 g/m2. The quantity of activated carbon particles whose size is below a certain particle size may deviate from the setpoint quantity by 10%.
The measurements have been executed according to the DIN 71460-2 standard for the adsorption of gases in effect for car passenger compartment filters.
The configuration of the filters in detail was as follows:
The combination filters had a one-layer particle filter 14 made of polypropylene (PP). The mass per unit area of the particle filter was 60 g/m2 and the filter material was electrostatically charged. The fiber diameter was approximately 20 μm to 40 μm.
The chemical filter section 16 included a substrate made of polyester (PES) having a mass per unit area of approximately 43 g/m2 and a fiber diameter of approximately 10 μm to 25 μm. This material was loaded with grainy activated carbon, identified schematically as 18. The mass per unit areas were 150 g/m2, 200 g/m2, and 250 g/m2. The particle sizes were 0.106 mm to 0.425 mm. In this particle size distribution, more than 40 percent by weight of the particles were smaller than 0.180 mm.
The standard combination filter, used for comparison, had a one-layer particle filter having a filter layer made of polypropylene (PP) with an electrostatic charge, a mass per unit area of 60 g/m2, and a fiber diameter of approximately 30 μm.
The chemical filter section included grainy activated carbon (0.25 mm to 0.6 mm) having a mass per unit area of 350 g/m2. This grainy activated carbon was applied to a substrate made of PES having a mass per unit area of approximately 50 g/m2. The particle size was 0.25 mm to 0.6 mm. For this particle size, only approximately 1 percent by weight of the particles were smaller than 0.180 mm.
The result of the measurements is shown in
The diagram of the figure represents measuring values which were detected during n-butane penetration measurements using four different filters. The tests were conducted in air with a temperature of 23� C. and 50% relative humidity. The penetration was 180 m3/h. The air was loaded with 80 ppm of n-butane.
It can be seen in the diagram of the figure that in the standard combination filter an instant penetration of approximately 7% takes place. This may indeed be slightly reduced due to the increase in the total quantity of activated carbon, but cannot be completely eliminated since the quantity of activated carbon cannot be increased arbitrarily due to the increasing pressure loss.
In the combination filters discussed here, the instant penetration is substantially lower as a function of the quantity of activated carbon, namely around 2% and 3% at a quantity of activated carbon of 150 g/m2 and 200 g/m2, respectively, and even reaches the value zero at 250 g/m2. Furthermore, it should be noted that the increase in the penetration in standard filters is substantially steeper than in the adsorption filters discussed here. After a maximum time period of 10 seconds, assumed for closing an air circulation valve, the value of 17% for the n-butane penetration for the standard filter is relatively high and for filters having 150 g/m2, 200 g/m2 and 250 g/m2 activated carbon the value of only 10%, 5%, and 3.5% is distinctly lower.
