Methods and apparatus for filtering particulate matter from a liquid are provided. The apparatus comprise: a housing defining an internal volume; a liquid inlet port; a liquid outlet port disposed above the liquid inlet port; a filter medium support membrane housed within the housing and disposed between the liquid inlet port and the liquid outlet port; and a particulate filter medium loaded onto the filter medium support membrane. The apparatus are designed such that a flow of liquid introduced into the internal volume of the housing through the liquid inlet port and exiting the internal volume of the housing through the liquid outlet port will pass upward through the filter medium support membrane.

An adjustable paper holder including an elongate support member adapted to be attached along either side of a computer monitor with the support member extending generally parallel to its front surface; and a sheet support plate that is mounted on the support member for pivotal movement around both a normally horizontal pivot axis that is generally normal to the length of said support member and parallel to the front surface of the computer monitor and a second pivot axis parallel to the edges of the sheet support plate and adjacent one of its edges, and also mounted for movement of its normally horizontal pivot axis longitudinally of the support member. A paper clamp assembly is mounted on the sheet support plate with a surface on the clamp plate against which paper is clamped generally co-planar with the front surface of the sheet support plate, and is moveable to accommodate different length papers to be held on the sheet support plate.
