  • Production of potable liquids
    Patent number: 7368056
    Abstract: Water-desalination and/or water purification devices. Alternatively, devices that are implantable in animal bodies, possibly configured as self-inflating spinal disc prostheses. The devices include specified types of water-absorbing solute encapsulated by non-porous, water-permeable polymer membranes having specified properties. Also, methods of using the devices in biomedical applications or water treatment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 12, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 6, 2008
    Assignee: The Polymer Technology Group, Incorporated
    Inventors: Robert S. Ward, Sallie K. Coviello
