  • Patent number: 8216342
    Abstract: A method for producing membranes which contain at least one solid layer on one side of a porous substrate by treating the side of the support, which is to be coated, with a synthetic solution that forms the solid layer. The inventive method is characterized in that the space located behind the side of the porous support, which is not to be coated, is filled with an inert fluid during the production of the solid layer on the porous support, “behind” being from the perspective of the support. The pressure and/or the temperature of the fluid is/are selected such that the synthetic solution is essentially prevented from entering in contact with the side of the porous support, which is not to be coated.

  • Patent number: 8196755
    Abstract: A process for the production of a composite membrane, one or more microporous separation layers comprising a zeolite of the MFI type being produced by hydrothermal synthesis on a porous substrate, wherein one or more additives from the group consisting of linear (C1-C4)-alcohols, ammonia, primary, secondary and tertiary amines having in each case (C1-C4)-alkyl radicals, (C1-C4)-aminoalcohols and (C3-C4)-ketones are added to the synthesis solution for the hydrothermal synthesis.

  • Patent number: 7802850
    Abstract: A seat for a motor vehicle, includes a backrest part and a seat part. The backrest part is configured to fold relative to the seat part from a normal position into a folded position and vice-versa. A lower seat structure is included and the seat is configured to move relative to the lower seat structure. At least one front first fastening, one rear second fastening and one diagonal fastening are provided to fasten the seat part to the lower seat structure. The seat is configured to adjust at least into an entry position and into a lowered position distinguishable from the normal position, and the second fastening is configured to release in the entry position. The diagonal fastening is configured to release in the lowered position.

  • Patent number: 7749414
    Abstract: Composite membranes comprising at least one porous substrate layer and at least one microporous separation layer, comprising at least one zeolite of the MFI type, are described, the separation layer being produced by a hydrothermal synthesis in which the molar ratio of silicon to aluminum is greater than 120 and the separation layer contains less than 10% by weight of aluminum in elemental or chemically bound form in a zone of at least 100 nm adjacent to the separation layer.

  • Publication number: 20080047427
    Abstract: A process for the production of membranes which contain at least one solid layer on one side of a porous substrate by treating, with a synthesis solution forming the solid layer, that side of the substrate which is to be coated is described, wherein, in the production of the solid layer on the porous substrate, the space which, viewed from the substrate, is behind that side of the porous substrate which is not to be coated is filled with an inert fluid, the pressure and/or the temperature of the fluid being chosen so that contact of the synthesis solution with that side of the porous substrate which is not to be coated is substantially prevented.

  • Patent number: 6811198
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for storing cargo within a vehicle. The invention is characterized by a support device (2), attached or attachable in the cargo area (4) of the vehicle, for cargo receiving means (6). The support device (2) is pivotable, after the cargo receiving means (6) have been removed and/or collapsed flat, from a utilization position (A) lying on a cargo area floor (8), about a pivot axis (Y) extending in the vicinity of the cargo area floor (8) approximately parallel thereto, into a non-utilization position (B) lying approximately parallel to and in the vicinity of a vehicle partition (10) delimiting the cargo area (4), and thereby uncovering the vehicle floor (8).
