That's a pretty slick interface, but the sliders are really just a UI way to
select a filter range.
The issue is really two pieces - the core functionality of filtering by
multiple columns and criteria, and the UI to enable it.

I am nearing completion of my jquery.table.js plugin which will include
multi-column filtering ability. It can filter using either an exact value to
match, regular expression, or a custom function to call. It's built off my beta
version here: http://www.javascripttoolbox.com/lib/table/
This, together with some UI widgets, should allow you to do what you need. I
will certainly announce it here when it's ready and I'm seeking feedback.

I don't think it would be a good idea to have a single plugin that provides
both the core table functionality and various UI widgets for filter selection.
They seem best suited for different plugins, IMO.
