Patent number: 5897780Abstract: In order to treat water contaminated with warfare agents and containing less than 500 ppm of salt, a separation stage 10 is normally provided downstream of the reverse osmosis. In the separation stage, the untreated water is divided into residue and permeate. Warfare agents have the property of acting as softeners on the semi-permeable organic polymer membranes of separation stages. As a result of this, the warfare agents pass through the membranes of separation stages in increasing quantities once the latter have been in operation for a few hours. In order to improve the treatment of water contaminated with warfare agents, salt is added to the untreated water which, with a salt content of over 1000 ppm, is then drawn through the separation stage 10 down stream of the reverse osmosis stage. The invention is suitable for use with mobile facilities used for producing drinking water.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1997Date of Patent: April 27, 1999Assignee: Fed. Republic of Germany, Federal Defense MinistryInventors: Alexander Grabowski, Michael Dolle, Ingo Haser

Patent number: 5894743Abstract: A process and machine for the preparation of pile ware uses a single needle bedded warp knitting machine, having pile sinkers. During the swing-through of the guides subsequent to the underlap into the overlap position, first the ground threads and then the left pile threads, are laid to the rear of the needles, and run along these, with separation from each other. The pile sinkers are introduced into the space between the ground threads and the left pile threads, during or after the swing-through, and stay there until the knock-over of the stitch. The threads are provided to the guide bars in a one full/one empty order, only every second needle serving for stitch formation. The number of pile sinkers equals half of the number of needles. Right pile threads are provided which are overreached by the pile sinkers together with the ground threads laid about needles not serving for stitch formation and are then knocked over.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 1997Date of Patent: April 20, 1999Assignee: Karl Mayer TextilmaschinenfabrikInventors: Jorg Bredemeyer, Horst Jager

Patent number: 5885921Abstract: There is provided a process for the preparation of a highly reactive hydrophobic silica capable of lipophilic binding of lipids present in aqueous media, in particular body fluids. The hydrocarbon substituted silica utilized in the first step of this process may be prepared from hydrophilic silica, suitably pyrogenic silica. This is then treated with a volatile hydrocarbon substituted silicon compound. The next step of the process comprises treating the substituted hydrophobic silica with an alcohol. In order to enable the thus produced material to selectively adsorb lipids in the presence of protein, to the substantial non absorption of the proteins (other than lipoproteins), a further step is carried out. This comprises treating with aqueous ammonia or amines wherein substituents on the amine nitrogen may be the same or different.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 1996Date of Patent: March 23, 1999Assignee: Ligochem, Inc.Inventor: John Krupey

Patent number: 5855782Abstract: The present invention is directed to an arrangement for the elimination of substances by means of a membrane filter wherein the use is foreseen both in the blood cleaning procedures as well as in chemical and biotechnological separation techniques. The fluid containing the substances is run through the primary side of the membrane filter and the secondary side is flowed through by a adsorptive suspension which contains the substance binding particles. A pump drives the adsorptive suspension through the secondary side of membrane filter and causes in this way locally differentiable positive and negative transmembrane pressure differences whereby a local fluid exchange occurs and by means of which the active substances come into contact with the particles. Since the volume of the adsorptive suspension in the secondary circuit is held constant, the mean transmembrane pressure does not alter.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 1996Date of Patent: January 5, 1999Inventors: Dieter Falkenhagen, Heinrich Schima, Fritz Loth
