Patent EP-1325352-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SVENSSON MARTIN
IPC: G01S13/935
Filed: 2001-10-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for navigating a craft (400) by means of remote distance measurement. According to the invention, a compensation is made for the inclination of a remote distance meter mounted on the craft (400) to measure the shortest distance (hter) to the surface (410) over which the craft movers in an undesired direction ( alpha , rather than a correct distance (hgnd) in a desired reference direction. A measurement correction parameter designates the magnitude of the compensation for each geographical position (X, Y) and altitude (hmsl). The compensation thus implies that a measured distance (hter) is increased to an extent, which is indicated by the measurement correction parameter.

Abstract: An ultrafiltration membrane is modified to exhibit low protein fouling and yet maintains a greater fraction of the original membrane permeability and retention properties after modification. This is achieved by grafting monomer onto the surface of a highly photoactive membrane such as polyethersulfone, via the process of dipping the polymeric membrane into a solution containing one or more monomers and a chain transfer agent, removing the membrane from the solution, securing the membrane inside of a quartz vessel contained within another vessel of liquid filter, and irradiating the membrane with a UV light at a wavelength between the range of 280 nm and 300 nm. High density grafting and shorter grafted monomer chain length result in low protein fouling and retention of permeability.
