  Filter mask - Patent 6338340
A filter mask is provided for use in environments of smoke and toxic gas which includes a filter element having a filling of shiftable bodies coated with a flowable, aloe vera extract having a gel-like viscosity and a retainer for holding the filter element over the mouth and nose of the wearer.
A filter mask as set forth in claim 6, wherein said facial portion is configured to present a pocket oriented toward the nose and mouth of the wearer for receiving said filter element therein with said filter element positioned between the wearer's face and the facial portion.
The filter element is removably attached to the inside of the facial portion of the mask to be in direct contact with and conform around the nose and mouth of the wearer, thus causing the inhaled air to be drawn therethrough and filtered.

 Sharpening with Unsharp Mask
In computer-talk, "filter" is a generic word which just means a tool or process where you "put something in, and get something out", that is, it separates or refines the object in some way, a philosophy not unlike a coffee filter or a color filter.
Unsharp Mask is the opposite, it involves making the pixels on the light side of the edge even lighter, and making the pixels on the dark side of the edge even darker, as shown, to increase edge contrast.
The UnSharp Mask filter has parameters that allow it to have variable effect, to primarily affect the strong edges in the image, and to specifically exclude the smoother low-contrast areas.

 Filter mask - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A half face particulate mask is generally worn to protect the wearer from dust and paint fumes.
To aid particulate filtration, the mesh is sometimes coated with substances that enhance the tendency of particulates to adhere to the fibers.
For gas filtration, mask cartridges are filled with activated carbon or certain resins that will absorb substances such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), eliminating them from the air breathed.

 Digital Filters - Frequency Filters
All frequency filters can also be implemented in the spatial domain and, if there exists a simple kernel for the desired filter effect, it is computationally less expensive to perform the filtering in the spatial domain.
We obtain the filter function of a bandpass by multiplying the filter functions of a lowpass and of a highpass in the frequency domain, where the cut-off frequency of the lowpass is higher than that of the highpass.
To perform the frequency filtering we transform both the image of the house and the mask into the Fourier domain where we multiply the two images with the effect that the frequencies occurring in the mask remain in the output while the others are set to zero.

 Perl.com: Using Bloom Filters
Bloom filters are named after Burton Bloom, who first described them in a 1970 paper entitled Space/time trade-offs in hash coding with allowable errors.
Because Bloom filters use one-way hashing to store their data, it is impossible to reconstruct the list of keys in a filter without doing an exhaustive search of the keyspace.
When using Bloom filters, we very frequently have a desired false-positive rate in mind and we are also likely to have a rough idea of how many keys we want to add to the filter.
