The invention relates to a method and a device for opto-electronically determining the position of an object (50) using a measurement assembly, which is separated from the object (50) by a medium (31, 52) that is permeable to at least one type of specific radiation. The measurement assembly consists of at least one active sensor zone (S) in the medium comprising at least two measuring paths (x, y), which are maintained by at least two radiation sources (1, 3) that emit the specified radiation and by at least one radiation receiver (2) that is allocated to the radiation sources. Said receiver determines the reflection (53) returned by the object (50) to generate a detection signal which corresponds to the received radiation. A specified radiation is emitted using the radiation sources (1, 3) and the reflection (53) returned by the object (50) is detected, in order to allocate initial values (U(t), UR(d)) to the individual measuring paths. The invention is characterised in that an evaluation unit (55) determines the position and / or displacement of the object (50) by determining a specified angular curve of the object in relation to the radiation sources (1, 3, 57) from the initial value (UR(T), UR(d)), for a known spatial relationship between the radiation sources. This allows the position and / or displacement of an object to be opto-electronically detected in a simple and practical manner.

A serviceable filtering oil removal cartridge for use in a compressed air assembly of a vehicle air brake system includes a housing having a first end and a second end. A filtering element is disposed within the housing for agglomerating and removing oil from compressed air entering the oil removal cartridge. A load plate is disposed within the housing for supporting the filtering element. The load plate includes a connecting portion dimensioned to allow the oil removal cartridge to be removed and installed as a single unit. The connecting portion is preferably a threaded annulus. A thermal vent can be included, wherein pressure is released from the oil removal cartridge upon reaching a threshold temperature.

A control method and apparatus are provided to convert a DC voltage into alternating voltage. The apparatus includes a first inverter and a second inverter to generate a first alternating voltage and a second alternating voltage, respectively. Also included is an interphase transformer to combine these alternating voltages in parallel to obtain a first resulting alternating voltage. The apparatus also includes a third inverter and a fourth inverter to generate a third and fourth alternating voltage, respectively. These are combined to form a second resulting alternating voltage. The second resulting alternating voltage is displaced in phase approximately 180° in relation to the first resulting alternating voltage.

A method for producing 1,3-diglyceride oils from triglyceride containing oils is disclosed. The method uses alkali metal salts or alkali earth metal salts of mono-carboxylic or di-carboxylic acids to drive glycerolysis under conditions such that commercial, food-quality 1,3-diglyceride oils are produced.
