Patent number: 10137353Abstract: Various embodiments provide a system including connected system nodes, the system configured to provide timing and scoring for aquatic sports in pools. The spatial location of the nodes relative to the pool and pool reference points may be retrieved from the system and representations can be created. The representations may be used to first select the desired nodes for one or several sports events and then execute those sports events with the selected nodes. Electrical connections may be made from materials that withstand aggressive pool chemicals, such as titanium, Hastelloy or Inconel.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: EVERLAST CLIMBING INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Chris Stockinger, Eric Solanyk, Anne Jordan, Brett Anderson, Craig Jacobs, Pete Schiel

Patent number: 9687792Abstract: Provided is an interfacial polymerization process for preparation of a highly permeable thin film composite membrane, which can be used for nanofiltration, forward osmosis, or reverse osmosis, particularly for use with brackish water or seawater. The process includes contacting a porous support membrane with an aqueous phase containing a polyamine to form a coated support membrane, and applying an organic phase containing a polyfunctional acid halide to the coated support membrane to interfacially polymerize the polyamine and the polyfunctional acid halide to form a discrimination layer of a thin film composite membrane, where the aqueous and/or organic phases include a flux-enhancing additive and a boron rejection-enhancing additive that includes a biguanide compound, dicarbonate compound, pentathiodicarbonate compound, or salts thereof. Also provided are the membranes prepared by the methods and reverse osmosis modules containing the membranes.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2015Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignees: LG CHEM, LTD., LG NANOH2O, INC.Inventors: Alberto Goenaga, Brett Anderson Holmberg, Andrew Ford, Amit Sankhe, Christopher Kurth, Robert Burk, Jin Kuk Lee, Jeff Koehler, Sung Yeol Choi, Youngsik Eom, Hyungsam Choi
