  • Patent number: 11794149
    Abstract: A filtration membrane coating comprising a hydrophilic polymer, a surfactant, and one or more charged compounds, each containing one or more sulfonate functionalities and one or more linkable functionalities selected from the group consisting of amine, monochlorotriazine, and dichlorotriazine. The hydrophilic polymer and surfactant form a thin primer layer which is also superhydrophilic. The primer layer improves flux, and enables improved adhesion of the one or more charged compounds, which form a charged dye layer on top of the primer layer when enhances rejection of charged divalent ions. The coating can be applied while the membrane is packaged in its final form, such as in a spiral wound or other configuration.

  • Publication number: 20230191518
    Abstract: A system for connecting electronic assemblies, in particular a soldering and/or sintering system, has a transport device for conveying the assemblies through the system, with a plurality of gas-tightly separable modules for connecting the assemblies to one another. At least one module is a soldering and/or sintering module and one module is a cooling module. Between the soldering/sintering and the cooling module, a further module is a soft cooling module for cooling between a process temperature of the soldering or sintering module and an intermediate temperature, in particular below a solder solidification temperature. In a soldering or sintering module in a gas-tightly sealable process chamber, in particular in the soft cooling module, at least one heat source is contactable with the assemblies for heating the assemblies and at least one cold trap is arranged, having in operation a surface temperature which is lower than a heat source operating temperature.
