  • Process for preparing composite membranes
    Patent number: 4783346
    Abstract: A multistage process for preparing interfacially polymerized polyamide reverse osmosis membranes on a microporous support is disclosed. The process involves applying a solution containing from 1 to 10 wt % of an aromatic diamine having 1 or 2 aromatic rings and 2 to 3 amino groups in a first solvent to the microporous substrate. Then a solution of an aromatic or cyclophatic acyl chloride having 1 or 2 rings and 2.2 to 4 acyl chloride groups in a solvent immiscible with the first solvent is applied to the microporous substrate. Then a solution of different acyl chlorides is applied to the substrate. The acyl chlorides in this second solution can have 2 to 4 acyl chloride groups attached to an aliphatic group of 6 to 12 carbon atoms or an aromatic or cycloaliphatic group having 1 or 2 rings and containing 8 to 14 carbon atoms. Also suitable for the second treatment are bis chloroformates.

  • Air spring control system and method
    Patent number: 4783089
    Abstract: A method and system are set forth for leveling a vehicle chassis supported on air springs. The system and method include a position switch at each air spring which is adapted to generate a signal when the spring is compressed to or beyond a desired length representing the desired level for the vehicle chassis. Based upon the duration of the signal over a time interval a duty cycle for the spring is established. If the duty cycle is below a desired valve or range of valves this indicates the chassis is too high and the system incrementally deflates the spring. If the duty cycle is above the desired valve or range of valves this indicates the chassis is too low and the spring is incremetally deflated. Accordingly, leveling can take place when the vehicle is in motion.
