Abstract: The present invention relates to a fresh water generation method including: feeding raw water or pretreated water thereof as feed water into a semipermeable membrane module in a pressurized state using a booster pump, thereby separating the feed water into a concentrate and a permeate having a low concentration, in which a scale inhibitor having a reducing function is dosed intermittently or continuously upstream from the semipermeable membrane module, thereby inhibiting scale generation and maintaining an oxidation-reduction potential of at least either the feed water or the concentrate to a threshold value or lower.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a resin relating to rapid prototyping. The System comprises: (a) an apparatus for producing a three-dimensional object from a light-sensitive material, wherein input optics (IO) and output optics (OO) facilitates transmission of light emitted from an illumination source via individually controllable light modulators (LM) of spatial light modulator (SLM) to an illumination area (IA), wherein said output optics (OO) enable focusing of the pattern of light from spatial light modulators (SLM) on an illumination area (IA); and (b) a resin composition comprising: (A) an acrylate component with (B) a methacrylate component and (C) a photo initiator.
