Abstract: The filtration cartridge comprises a filtration element and a heat-resistant extension band having a first and a second longitudinal edge. The first edge of the extension band is attached along an edge of the filtration element. In a first embodiment, a metallic cast end member is formed by immersing the second edge of the extension band into molten metal. The molten metal is then allowed to solidify with the second edge of the extension band embedded therein. In a second embodiment, the extension band is squeezed on a porous inner core and an end plate is welded on the end of the inner core. Providing filtration cartridges with a metallic end member allows increasing their resistance to mechanical shocks and increasing their maximum operating temperatures.

Abstract: A rotation angle detector for improving the detection
accuracy of a rotation angle has a movable shaft (10), a
bearing portion (8) for pivotably bearing against the movable
shaft (10), a detection portion (6) for detecting a rotation
angle of the movable shaft (10), and a supporting portion (9)
for supporting the detection portion (6). The bearing portion
(8) and the supporting portion (9) are integrally formed of the
same material. As a result, since the bearing portion (8) and
the supporting portion (9) are accurately aligned with each
other, displacement of the movable shaft (10) with respect to
the detection portion (6) can be prevented. Thus, the
detection accuracy of the movable shaft (10) rotation angle can
be improved.

Abstract: To control the volume delivery of the compressor the gas pressure which biases the lift piston (4) during the time in which the control valve (3) is closed always lies above the gas pressure which is required to overcome the maximum possible reflux pressure. A controllable partial release of the lift cylinder (6) up to closing of the suction valve (1) is carried out through the fast-switching control valve in each period of the work beat.  The theoretical release time of the entire volume to be released is maximum roughly equal to or less than half the duration of a work beat of the compressor.
