Filter assemblies are disclosed. In particular, filter assemblies including a filter media and an overlay portion covering the filter media are disclosed. Such filter assemblies may provide both acceptable filtering capacity and cleanable visible front surfaces.

Filter assembly

Filter assemblies are described. In particular, a filter securement assembly for receiving and retaining a filter media in an exhaust hood includes a main panel defining a first end and an opposed second end, a first retainment surface adjacent the first end of the main panel, a first retainment lip adjacent the first retainment surface, a second retainment surface adjacent the second end of the main panel and a second retainment lip adjacent the second retainment surface.

In one example, a scouring article comprises: a backing layer having opposed first and second major surfaces; and a visually discernable functional material provided on at least one of the first and second major surfaces; wherein the functional material comprises a resin, and further wherein the functional material is configured to communicate information to a user of the scouring article regarding an intended end-use application of the scouring article. In another example, an abrasive article comprises: a pad having a scrubbing surface; and a plurality of shaped abrasive structures disposed on the scrubbing surface; wherein the plurality of shaped abrasive structures are arranged to provide an indication regarding a characteristic of the abrasive structures.

Cleaning articles including scouring bodies that form printed instructions

An electrode layer has a plurality of substantially parallel electrodes disposed along a first direction. At least one electrode has a length along the first direction and a width from a first edge to a second edge along a second direction transverse to the first direction. At least one electrode comprises across its width at least one edge section, at least one intermediate section, and at least one central section, wherein an intermediate section is disposed along the electrode width between an edge section and the central section. At least one electrode edge section and intermediate section includes a plurality of electrically isolated regions arranged in a pattern along the electrode length. An electrode conductive area of the edge section is less than an electrode conductive area of the intermediate section.
