Abstract: A filtration element assembly for use with a cylindrical filter casing has a prismatic support body with a support body interior space. The side walls of the support body form a polygonal outer cross-sectional shape defining a circumscribed circle with a diameter less than or equal to the casing diameter. At least one side wall has an inlet flow passage with a receiving channel surrounding it. A porous filtration structure is disposed within the receiving channel so as to cover the inlet flow passage. A clamping member attached to each of the at least one side wall has a framing portion and a flange portion. The framing portion has a flow window formed there-through in registration with the inlet flow passage. The flange portion extends from the framing portion and is sized and configured for reception into the receiving channel to engage and retain the filtration element within the channel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a high performance business framework and related tools and processes for describing how known high performance businesses derive performance contributions from three building blocks. The present invention provides methods and tools for researching, measuring and quantifying these three building blocks to enable assessments to be made of various companies in various industries and methods and tools for enabling these various companies to identify and adopt solutions that enable them to model themselves after high performers.
