SP3X Overview
World Class Sound
The Natural Choice for Professional Musicians...
Kurzweil's SP3 line brings the stage piano concept to new heights, with unmatched sound quality and expressiveness. The SP3 series is equally well suited for use on stage, at home, or in the studio, and is perfect for worship based music.
Along with the famous Kurzweil Grand Piano, the SP3 offers a wide variety of other top notch sounds, including winds, voices, synths, brass, bass, guitar, percussion and ensembles. Sounds like leads, strings and winds come to life, responding to velocity, aftertouch and 4 real-time knobs, offering unheard of expressiveness in a stage piano.
Try one for yourself to experience the next level of excellence in Kurzweil Stage Pianos.
512 World Class Preset Sounds...
Featuring our triple-strike Grand Piano, Rhodes, Wurlitzer and FM electric pianos, Stereo Strings, Brass, Guitar, Bass, Take 6 Vocals, Drums/Percussion as well as the world's best sounding GM sound set.

Great Action!...
With a full hammer-weighted action, the piano sounds feel like playing a piano. And with aftertouch sensitivity, the SP3 allows more expressive playing for non-piano sounds like winds, strings and synths.
User Friendly USB connectivity...

The SP3's pitch and mod wheels feel smooth and responsive. Combined with aftertouch and the SP3's 4 front panel knobs, they offer real-time control of sound which is simply unprecedented in a stage piano.
LCD Display...
The SP3's easy to read display provides all the info you'll need to start making music. You will actually see sound and effect names spelled out instead of just a number.

Gloves. Specifically, gloves worn while rowing, lifting weights, or doing any other activity that normally causes a person to develop callouses on his or her hands. Refusal to remove and dispose of these gloves earns the wearer the title "Princess Bitch Mittens."

Eastside Uptown Girl
I'm always in search of the cosmopolitan lifestyle on the Eastside. As a Bellevue-ite, I don't like traveling across either bridge to find cool things to do . Be surprised at all there is to do on the Eastside. The Eastside; it's more than a place, it's a lifestyle.
Music, Music, Music! Jam Night at Kirkland Wilde Rover
It's sort of an "ad lib" night for musicians at Kirkland's Wilde Rover Pub. It happens on Tuesday nights and top notch musicians from the area descend on the club to sit in, and jam with one another. Some of them are friends and already play together in a band, so you never know what sort of treat there will be. Some of them just jump onstage and jam with the band that happens to be playing. It seemed like the musicians either knew each other or met each other there and discussed a set list or whatever they call it before the stage change. The night I went, BF Mel was scheduled to play with his long time buddy Robert and some other dudes that frequent the jam night. They all got onstage and played some great music. Robert played some screamin guitar to "Play that Funky Music", Take me to the River, Little Wing, and as memory serves..that was about it. The bands don't stay up there too long..which is cool because it's fun to hear the variety of music. My BF Mel, played bass. He hasn't [Read More]

You Say TJ Maxx, I say Tres Maxim! The Purse.
Ok..I admit I love the thrill of the hunt. I love a good bargain, and I love digging through discount stores such as Ross, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx. Shopping at places like Nordstrom bore me. They are predicatble, sterile and overpriced in my opinion. And, I worked at Bellevue Square for 16 years. I know many other people love the service, ambiance and exclusivity of upper end department stores and there is value in that. And, some people have so much money, they can buy whatever they want.

BEAUTY FIRST! Best Face Forward, Heavenly Facials in Old Bellevue
Hidden away in Old..or is it Olde? Bellevue lies a haven of bliss on 102nd street. It's called Namaste' and it's in a tiny quanset hut. It's my favorite place to go to get a facial. Wendy Knowler, queen of all skin care therapists, is co owner and knows how to make your skin and spirit feel heavenly. She offers the classic facial, facial waxing, cranial sacral massage, and the best kept secret of all: Avance' Skin Care products. This is a botanical and herbal line of skin care with aromatherapy scented oils and creamy face potions. My favorite is the RECOVERY BALM. It is used for burns and after laser treatments and is great for dry skin. It is made from a very well kept family secret recipe. Another fave item is the Stress Relieving oil. It comes in a cobalt blue bottle with dropper. It can be used on the body, in the bath, or in an oil fragrance diffuser. It smells like a mixture of french lavendar, bergamot, orange, and sage. It's so deliciously delightful and everywhere I go I get [Read More]

tiny wooden speaker for your gadget
Lately, I have been using my first gen iPhone as a portable radio/remote at home. The sound quality from the built-in speaker is not so good.

Your feedback and reviews are always welcome.
HAPPY NEW YEAR folks! :)
Customer Reviews
Fully customizable & highly efficient.
Undoubtedly one of the most useful tools I've come across. The way it allows you to customize each menu is beyond brilliant and puts the user back in control of the device rather than expecting the user to just adapt to it.
I've used Vert for a few years and have noticed you've avoided the irritating additions all devs feel obliged to add. Thank you for this. I can assure you I will never need to "share" my conversions or find out what the most popular conversions in my area are. Ugh. I hope you continue to develop Vert as a useful tool and not a bloated toy.
So close to 5 stars!
If this app could allow me to choose a skin or a different look, I would definitely give it 5 stars. I love that it has a calculator built in. It probably doesn't need it, but I would like a "C" or "AC" button to clear everything to 0.
I may come back and update to 5 stars soon anyway. I have been using another app that I like the look better, but it is missing some things. This app is becoming my favorite converter app.
I'm really liking this app. And it DOES have a clear button. I just had to hold down the back space button for like a second and it clears it. I really like how you can set favorites also. Like I said, I am really liking this converter.
One of the most useful tools for the iPhone
I've really enjoyed using this app. I've found that many times when I need to do a conversion, no matter what it might be, there is a good chance that Vert has what I'm looking for. Easy to use scrolling interface combined with swipe motions make this one very easy to use.

pulled pork is good, but the portions are ridiculously small. usually order take out, but went with a friend recently and they had the lamb burger which was amazing. the corn muffins are now corn bread as opposed to the little muffins. cole slaw and beans really good. service was great. ok, that was my first review. since then portion size has been adjusted and is consistent. only once, maybe twice did i have an issue with delivery and once the order wasn't captured on their side and another it was delayed big time. considering i order from them on average once a week, the same thing, lol. i think they do a great job.

Since its the only pretty good BBQ within a decent distance (besides Jon Browns all the way in LIC), I really Butcher Bar would move off 30th ave so they could adjust their prices to be a little more reasonable.

The food is awesome... But the delivery never has met their maximum ETA. When I've called they say they are really busy. Totally understand being busy... Just change the ETA for your deliveries. Would gladly wait longer if I knew the ACTUAL wait time. But seriously the food is delicious so... It is hard to really complain.

I was really unhappy with the service at the restaurant. I went to Butcher Bar with some friends about a month ago. The place is Byob and they charge you for a soda if you bring your own. We waited over 20 minutes to get ORDER our food and they ran out of several things on their menu. The waitress was extremely unhelpful/rude, never brought us water or asked us how we were doing, and was eating in this kitchen while we were waiting for our food. The food.. However.... was decent. Some friends ordered take out and the food came on time. So if you want to have BBQ, I definitely recommend taking it out from here unless you want to wait 2 hrs for food.

Butcher bar has delicious food, at a slightly expensive price, and good customer service. That said I would give them a five star review, except that they are always out of Burnt Ends. I realize that I am not the only one in Astoria who eats here, but more than 3 times I've placed an order, only to receive a call shortly after that the are out of burnt ends. If you don't have any, take them off the menu.

Love love love Butcher Bar! Could eat there every day! OMG all the meat is soooo good! My favorites are the burnt ends, the pork belly, the Philly cheese brisket sandwich and Bob's burger. And the nachos are a meal, every time my husband and I get them we end up not eating our sandwiches, lol! My only gripe is I can't figure out why I don't like their selection of sides, but for some reason they're just not doing it for me. Wish there were more veggies and pseudo healthy options, like the green beans with bacon- how about Brussel sprouts with bacon? Or maybe spinach and black-eyed peas and bacon? ;) Or at least French fries for crying out loud! The only side I really like is the Mac and Cheese and I can't even pretend that's remotely healthy or a vegetable.

Food is good but expensive. I can recommend the Burnt Ends. I decided to try the Sauced Ribs; they were dry and chewy. Butcher Bar should be embarrassed to have served them, especially considering the price. Delivery is hit or miss. On multiple occasions, I've received wrong or incomplete orders. Calling sometimes results in a satisfactory correction. I'm looking for a new BBQ restaurant.

This place is a JOKE. They charged me $2 extra for bread for my $28 "butcher platter" which was just a platter of meat and they advertise 2 corn cakes with the meal and the actual "corn cakes" we got were literally 2 half inch slivers and the rest of the food was cold. Called up and they said they couldnt do anything, thats what comes with the meal. Save ur money everybody

I mean...here's the thing. The food is delicious. It's also wickedly over priced....but it's delicious. I've never had a problem with the delivery except knowing I'm going to have to stick it in the microwave for a few secs, but the location is a ways from my apt, so it's fine. Why do I still order? Because I'm a southern girl who needs her BBQ fix once in awhile and Butcher Bar hits the spot.

I upgraded this to a 2 star because the brisket was decent and one star must be reserved for the worst of the worst, but get your crap together! This restaurants version of the cheese steak is a tasty dish. But it is so rediculously small. I had the cheese steak and my girlfriend had the pulled pork sando. There was no more than 3 oz. of pork on her sandwich and it was $11!!! This place needs to get its price point in line with its portions. I know the "food movement" has led these specialty burger and BBQ joints to think they are worth twice as much as others but this is false. Go to a small BBQ joint in Memphis or Nashville that serve arguably the best BBQ in the world. Is it special? No, its just slow cooked meat over an open or secluded flame. Get your mind right Butcher Bar. Just because you hired a few culinary school graduates you are not on 5th, your in Astoria. Brisket is cooked at too high a temp, the fat leaves coagualtion and melts at a certain temp. You figure that one out. Also, and most of all, YOUR SWEET TEA IS THE WORST IN THE WORLD!!!!! This was a joke, soooo easy, pass this one up folks. I would give it 1.5 but I can't so it gets 1!

I was so excited for Butcher Bar to open and I'm so glad they lived up to my expectations. The meat is some of the best BBQ I've had and it's always fresh. The 50/50 sandwich is amazing..especially the BBQ sauce. It's a little pricey but delivery is always so quick and the food is hot. You won't be disappointed. :)

Food was pretty tasty but I'm giving this place only two stars because of their pricing and portion sizes. Butcher Bar is outrageously expensive. It probably would have been worth paying $15 for a burger if I was sitting in the restaurant and enjoying the ambiance among good company,but I wasn't. I just got home from work and was craving a juicy burger. My food arrived cold, the delivery guy didn't follow the delivery instructions of ringing only the top bell, and he gave me an attitude. You would think a restaurant with such great tasting food would at least have their act together. Cold food, small portions and a bad attitude just makes me never want to order from Butcher Bar again. But let me repeat myself about the food; tastes great but too small and too expensive.

Ordered take out last night from Seamless Web......... Mac & Cheese = 4 Slaw = 4 Sausage of Day = 5 Ribs = 3 Corn Bread = 3 Delivery Time = 5 I was here a few days ago and had a belly filling meal. As I walked out I notice the Seamless Web logo. I am a big fan of this service. Kudos......... I placed my order and it arrived pretty fast I thought. Well below recommended delivery time. Food was hot considering it was a cold night, 30 or so degrees. Started straight to the good stuff, Sausage of the Day. I want to thank the organic feed animal that made this possible. It was very good, a home run. Moist and tender Sausage with lots of flavor and a spicy finish. Excellent meat. Up next was Mac and Cheese. Also, good with flavor and creamy good stuff. Nice, very nice. The ribs, just miss the mark. You open the container and drooling tasty ribs. Not. Except, they looked like a white girl on here first beach day. No tan, ugh. Both are not a pretty sight. Both could be enjoyed naked, but the ribs needed some, some sauce, a shame. The St. Louis Style Dry Rubbed Smoked Ribs just did not have that nice caramelize exterior with that magic ring inside. I know this has to do with their cooking process. I just did not like their presentation. Taste was OK. Their sweet & spicy sauce made it easier to enjoy. Not a fan of these ribs........... One of the things that disappoints me with delivery is when a restaurant places a food item that is just below par. Like a burnt corn bread nugget. My wife had the tasty one. I had the burnt one. What are you going to do call and have another delivered. Boohoo. Oh yea, what's up with the nugget size cornbread. A little bigger than cubes of sugar. Slaw was good. Crisp and tasty. Overall, I highly recommend Butcher Bar. There is some good cooking going on. Of all the different styles of food, BBQ is one that you are going to have an opinion. It is like talking politics or religion at the dinner table, someone is going to have his/her mouth full. Great touch with Seamless Web.

Teen pop star Justin Bieber refuses to read comments about his videos on Youtube because negative remarks make him feel sad.
The singer's track 'Baby' became the first-ever promo to pass 800 million views on the website last year, but Bieber, 19, said he hates seeing users' views on his work, reported Daily Star.
"My Twitter is really nice. I have so many fans that I rarely ever see a nasty tweet. I don't read Youtube comments because those can get you sad.
"I see so much stuff on the Internet, sometimes I just want to go to Twitter and just go after people. But then I just think twice: If someone is dissing me, I'm going to make this person way more famous by tweeting them," he said.

Leaders and managers who work in the higher education IT environment face challenges common to all university leaders: rapidly changing technology, shrinking budgets, policy and legislative changes, globalization, private sector competition, a changing student population, and much more. Successful IT leaders must have the talents, qualities, perspectives, and political skills to support the institution's goals and strategic directions and respond to these business drivers. In addition, they must be aware of trends in the IT field and their implications for higher education. As well as possessing excellent communication and organizational skills, effective IT leaders understand the nature of higher education, the style and context in which decisions are made, and the technology employed.
EDUCAUSE's wealth of resources for IT leaders and managers focus on the environment in which IT leadership takes place, the planning and organizational skills needed to provide institutional leadership, and the individual characteristics required to develop and sustain a career in IT leadership. We encourage you to explore these pages to find articles, books, conference presentations, effective practices, and relevant communities to support your information needs.

The site also reports that the 76ers' new owners, including Will and Jada, will cut ticket prices for fans.
The 43-year-old "Men in Black" star hails from Wynnefield, a neighborhood within the City of Brotherly Love.
VIDEO: Will celebrates Jada's 40th birthday with an hourlong tribute video
Will and Jada, 40, shot down rumors in August that their 13-year marriage was coming to an end. (The couple are parents to Jaden, 13, and Willow, 10.)
PHOTOS: Celebs who really did call it quits
Jada's rep told Us Weekly that all romantic rumors about an affair between herself and Jennifer Lopez's ex Marc Anthony were completely false. Will and Anthony, 43, even palled around at a Miami Dolphins game just weeks after the alleged affair.

In fact, allowing yourself - or your staff - to take breaks can lead to more productivity. The staff at TravisWolff believes so much in this concept that they formed a "Fun Committee."

VIEWS: 13 PAGES: 8 CATEGORY: Liquid Purification Or Separation POSTED ON: 3/25/2010
BACKGROUND OFTHE INVENTIONThis invention relates to an improvement in an asymmetric membrane comprising a gel layer and a skin layer formed thereon for use as a reverse osmosis membrane.A membrane having known Loeb's construction, which has skin layer as an active layer on a face to contact the fed or supplied water and a gel layer for supporting the skin layer on the other side, has been generally used as an efficient reverseosmosis membrane, Ordinarily, such a membrane has been made by, first, applying a suitable solution of high polymer synthetic resin on a porous sheet of fabric or porous plastic film, next, evaporating the solvent to form a skin layer and underlyinglayer of high polymer resin and then immersing the resultant composite sheet in a gelation liquid thereby to form the Loeb's construction comprising an active skin layer and a supporting gel layer. In such conventional Loeb's construction membrane, theporous sheet remains contact with the gel layer in use. In the conventional semipermeable membrane, a densely woven thick plain-woven cloth, called taffeta, has been generally used to support the Loeb's membrane. In such a membrane, the sheet of thesupporting cloth only serves for supporting the membrane.In the semipermeable membrane, it is an important problem to achieve a higher flux. However, hitherto, it has been difficult to increase the flux without deteriorating rejection against solute of the fed liquid.The present inventors have found an improved construction of the semipermeable membrane wherein the flux is increased without deteriorating the rejection.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe purpose of the present invention is to obtain an improved reverse osmosis membrane having a higher flux without decrease of the rejection by solute in the fed liquid in comparison with the conventional semipermeable membrane. BRIEFEXPLANATION OF THE DRAWINGFIG. 1 shows one example of the apparatus to make one membrane embodying the present invention.FIG. 2 shows a
United States Patent: 4214994 ( 1 of 1 ) United States Patent 4,214,994 Kitano , et al.

Description BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an improvement in an asymmetric membrane comprising a gel layer and a skin layer formed thereon for use as a reverse osmosis membrane. A membrane having known Loeb's construction, which has skin layer as an active layer on a face to contact the fed or supplied water and a gel layer for supporting the skin layer on the other side, has been generally used as an efficient reverse osmosis membrane, Ordinarily, such a membrane has been made by, first, applying a suitable solution of high polymer synthetic resin on a porous sheet of fabric or porous plastic film, next, evaporating the solvent to form a skin layer and underlying layer of high polymer resin and then immersing the resultant composite sheet in a gelation liquid thereby to form the Loeb's construction comprising an active skin layer and a supporting gel layer. In such conventional Loeb's construction membrane, the porous sheet remains contact with the gel layer in use. In the conventional semipermeable membrane, a densely woven thick plain-woven cloth, called taffeta, has been generally used to support the Loeb's membrane. In such a membrane, the sheet of the supporting cloth only serves for supporting the membrane. In the semipermeable membrane, it is an important problem to achieve a higher flux. However, hitherto, it has been difficult to increase the flux without deteriorating rejection against solute of the fed liquid. The present inventors have found an improved construction of the semipermeable membrane wherein the flux is increased without deteriorating the rejection. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the present invention is to obtain an improved reverse osmosis membrane having a higher flux without decrease of the rejection by solute in the fed liquid in comparison with the conventional semipermeable membrane. BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 shows one example of the apparatus to make one membrane embodying the present invention. FIG. 2 shows another example of the apparatus to make another membrane embodying the present invention. FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a membrane embodying the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As a result of many experiments the inventors found that an improved Loeb's construction membrane, wherein the porous sheet such as plain-woven cloth is buried in the gel layer performs an improved flux without decreasing rejection by the solute in the fed water. Namely, according to the present invention, it is found that the buried porous sheet serves to increase flux of the membrane. In general, the asymmetric reverse osmosis membrane comprises a several hundred A thick active layer called skin layer and an underlying gel layer which supports the very thin and fragile active layer. The gel layer is generally from several tens .mu.m to several hundreds .mu.m thick and passes the liquid purified by the active layer therethrough. The porous sheet buried in the gel layer serves to increase the flux. The porous sheet to be buried in the gel layer is preferably a plain-woven cloth having only a small elasticity, namely taffeta, sheer or gauze or of non-woven fabric of small elasticty. In general, the sheer implies fabrics coarsely woven with fine fibre and taffeta implies a plain-woven fabrics of thicknesses larger than the sheer. The gauze is considered as a modification of the plain-woven fabric, and therefore, hereinafter is defined to be included in the plain-woven fabric. Namely, in the present invention, the taffeta, sheer and gauze are included in the plain-woven fabric. Elastic cloth, namely knit fabric such as of tricot, lace, pile and jersey are not suitable as the porous sheet because the membrane becomes excessively distorted when a large pressure is applied thereon. A suitable thickness of the porous sheet depends on the type of weaving, material yarn and size of the membrane, but in general, the thinner the gel layer is the thinner the sheet must be, in order that the porous sheet is entirely buried in the gel layer. The inventors empirically found that in the reverse osmosis membrane of the present invention, a drastic increase of the flux is achievable without decrease of rejection of solute in spite of the fact that burying of the porous sheet in the gel layer decreases actual thickness of the gel part. The empirical study revealed that the inserted porous sheet functions to improve the flux of the gel layer and also that the increase of the flux depends on the kind and nature of the sheet, namely the kind of weaving, size of the texture and material of the cloth. As a conclusion, it is found that a cloth woven densely with fine fibre is most effective in improving the flux of the membrane. Making of the semipermeable membrane is as follows: A dope solution is made by dissolving acetylcellulose, acetylbutylcellulose, aromatic polyamide, polysulphone, polyphenylenoxide or the like in acetone and or formamide, and the dope solution is cast on a glass boat with the porous sheet disposed on the bottom. Then, after the porous sheet is submerged in the solution, the solvent of the solution diffuses in the fabrics and evaporates substantially through the fabrics, thereby forming a high polymer resin layer containing the buried porous sheet therein. By means of a known principle, an active layer is formed on the resin layer. Thereafter, the resultant composite layers are immersed in the cold water to form a layer of gel of the high polymer resin. Consideration should be taken into account concerning the relation between viscosity of the doping solution and the size of the texture, that is size of net of the cloth. When a highly viscous dope solution is used together with fine texture fabric, then the resultant membrane is likely to have undesirable bubbles in the gel layer, and the bubbles spoil the rejection. Concerning the fibre constituting the sheet of cloth, there are three kinds of fibres, namely yarn which is made of short fibre, spun filament which is made of long filament and monofilament which has simple construction of single filament per se. Among these three kinds of fibres, cloths made of monofilament make the fewest bubbles, the spun filaments follow next and the yarns make the most bubbles. The increase of flux of the membrane depends also on number and thinness of the fibre. An optimum result is achieved by using fibres of 5 to 20 denier at a density of over 50 fibres per 1 inch (2.54 cm). Thickness of a 5 denier monofilament cloth is about 40 .mu.m and the thickness of a 20 denier monofilament cloth is about 80 .mu.m. When multifilament fibres are used instead of the monofilament, the cloth can be made some 20% thinner than the abovementioned. Therefore, by using the multifilament cloth, it is possible to make thinner membranes. Flux of a reverse osmosis membrane of 100 .mu.m thick made by burying in a gel layer a cloth woven with 10 denier monofilament fibre at the rate of 250 fibres per 2.54 cm is three times larger than that of the semipermeable membrane of the same 100 .mu.m thickness and without the cloth, and the rejection is also satisfactory. Flux of the similar reverse osmosis membrane wherein the same fibres are woven at the rate of 200 fibres per 1 inch has the flux as 2.5 times as large as that of the similar semipermeable membrane without the cloth. The comparison of the abovementioned examples shows that the larger the density of the fibre is the higher the flux becomes. Flux of the similar semipermeable membrane wherein cloth is woven with 20 denier monofilament fibre at the rate of 200 fibres per 2.54 cm is as 2.0 times large as that of the similar reverse osmosis membrane without the cloth. A large increase of flux is observed with cloth of finer fibres than 20 denier. Similar results are observed for the membrane with similar cloth woven with multifibre filament, but care must be taken in order to prevent generation of bubbles in the gel layer. The bubbling can be prevented by preliminarily coating the multifibre filaments with a high polymer resin such as polycarbonate resin or melamine resin. Cloth of many kinds of fibres, for example, of a viscose rayon, an acetate, a polyamide, a polyacrylonitrile or a polyester can be successfully used, but cloth of polyester fibre is most effective in improving the flux. EXAMPLE I On a glass plate is placed a sheer which is woven with warps and woofs both of 15 denier polyester monofilament fibres at the density of 200 fibres per 2.54 cm. Then a dope solution prepared by dissolving 25 parts by weight of acetylcellulose into 75 parts by weight of a 3:2 blended solvent of acetone and formamide is cast on the cloth and swept by a glass rod so as to obtain a thickness of about 100 .mu.m of the composite layer. The composite layer is then kept alone for about 1 minute for evaporating the solvent and then is immersed in a cold water bath. By peeling the layer off the glass plate, a reverse osmosis membrane comprising a buried cloth is obtained. The membrane is further heat treated at 85.degree. C. for 5 minutes and is aged for 5 hours in water of 100 static atmosphere to remove initial compaction. The completed reverse osmosis membrane is measured for reverse osmosis characteristics in 5000 PPM NaCl aqueous solution under the condition of 25.degree. C. and 30 Kg/cm.sup.2 pressure. Measurements are made for similar reverse osmosis membranes which are made with cloths of monofilament fibres of 5 denier, 10 denier, 20 denier and 25 denier, all woven with the density of 200 fibres per 2.54 cm. Also, another measurement is made for a reference sample of a conventional reverse osmosis membrane without buried cloth but made by similar process. The characteristics of the abovementioned 7 membranes are shown in Table 1.

The cloth buried in the gel layer is a sheer which is woven with 20 denier polyester multifilament fibre with density of 200 woofs in 2.54 cm and 230 warps in 2.54 cm. Under the same conditions of the measurement as those of the Example I, the measured characteristics are: Flux 1.54 ton/m.sup.2.day Refection 95.3%. In a modified Example wherein warps and woofs of the cloth are both 20 denier multi filaments, similar characteristics are obtained. EXAMPLE IV A reverse osmosis membrane of 100 .mu.m thickness with buried-in cloth is made by similar process with that of the Example I. The cloth buried in the gel layer is sheer woven with 15 denier polyester monofilament fibre with densities of 200 woofs and 200 warps per 2.54 cm. The characteristics measured under the same conditions as those of the Example I are: Flux 1.83 ton/m.sup.2.day Refection 95.7%. EXAMPLE V A reverse osmosis membrane of 100.mu.m thickness with buried-in cloth is made by similar process with that of the Example I. The cloth buried in the gel layer is the same sheer as that of Example III, namely woven with 20 denier polyester multifilament fibres with density of 200 woofs and 230 warps per 2.54cm. The cloth is preliminarily treated by a resin solution prepared by dissolving 10 weight % of polycarbonate in a 1:1 blended solute of dichroloethane and dichrolomethane to form a coating of the polyester resin, and the treated cloth is buried in the gel layer. As a result of the resin treatment, there are very few bubbles in the gel layer. Under the same condition of the measurement as those of Example I, the measured characteristics are: Flux: 1.49 ton/m.sup.2.day Refection: 95.3% As a modified Example wherein the cloth is preliminary treated with melamine resin, characteristics are similar to the above. The inventors further made research about effects of the types of texture in increase of flux. In plain-woven cloth there are many through-paths since every warps and woofs are not parallelly disposed but are disposed waving alternately. However, in some kind of cloths, some part of warps and woofs are parallelly disposed, and therefore, the total of the area of through-paths between the fibres are very small in comparison with the plain-woven cloth. Such smallness of the area of the through-path is observed also in cloths wherein either of woops or woofs are very much thinner than the others, or in cloth wherein either of woops or woofs have very much higher Young's modulus than the others. The inventors found that when such cloths of small area of through-paths are used as the porous sheet, a satisfactory increases of flux were not achievable. Also the inventors found that, when the cloth is made with fibres of over 300 denier, a satisfactory increase of flux was not achievable. Further, the inventors found that when the cloth has very smooth surface due to having a considerable parts of parallel arrays of fibres on one face, and on the otherhand has very rugged and porous texture on the other face thereof, the rugged face should be disposed to the side of the active layer. Inventor's empirical study revealed that the effect of increase of the flux is achieved during the process of forming the active layer and the gel layer. Namely, the fibres of the cloth helps diffusing out and evaporation of the solvent (formamide and acetone) and the swelling agent (formamide in the solvent), and further improve the characteristics of the surrounding gel layer and the overlying active layer. It can be hypothetically elucidated that as a result of the abovementioned improvements, the flux is increased without spoiling rejections. When a cloth of a type of coarse net is buried in the gel layer, in the center part of the mesh of the net the gel is not sufficiently affected by the existence of the fibre. However, even when such unaffected center part and well affected adjacent part coexist in a membrane, the flux increases to a considerable extent. For the fibres of the cloth, polyester, polypropylene, nylon, vinyl, cotton, wool, silk or flax can be used. Types of the fibres can be monofilaments, multifilaments, yarn, twisted thread or textured yarn. In the following example shown in Table 3, several reverse osmosis membranes are made with several different types of cloths buried in the gel layers. For the high polymer resin, the acetylcellulose No. E398-3 prepared by Eastman Kodak Company of the USA is used. For the solute of 25 parts by weight of the abovementioned acetylcellulose, 75 parts by weight of solvent is prepared by mixing 45 parts by weight of acetone and 30 parts by weight of formamide. The membrane is made by the similar process with the foregoing examples. The cloth are woven by 20 denier filaments of same Young's moduli with densities of 500 fibres per Cm. Plain-woven cloth, gauze cloth, twill woven cloth and satin cloth are used as the porous sheets. In the twill weave, 3 woofs cross over one warp. The satin is woven as 2 shipswarp. The twill and the satin were not suitable for use in the present invention because they had considerable parallel fibres parts. All the cloths are made 150 .mu.m thick. The reverse osmosis characteristics are measured by feeding 2000 ppm NaCl aqueous solution with the pressure of 30 Kg/Cm.sup.2.

Further, in order to fully give heat-and pressure-resistances to the reverse osmotic membrane of the present invention, it is preferably that, as described in the following Example VI, at least two porous sheets, each having different areas of apertures thereon, are put on each other and then together buried into the gel part of the semipermeable membrane with their face parallel to the face of the membrane. EXAMPLE VI A dope solution as a material for the reverse osmosis membrane is prepared by dissolving cellulose acetate of 25 parts by weight into a mixture of formaldehyde of 30 parts by weight and acetone of 45 parts by weight. On the other hand, two or more porous sheets having different areas of apertures from each other are piled on a plate with a smooth surface such as glass or plastics. Next, the abovementioned dope solution is cast on the plate to impregnate both face of the porous sheets. The dope solution on the upper-most face thereof is swept with a glass bar so as to make the face smooth. Then, the sheets and the plate on which the dope solution is cast are allowed to stand for 1 minute so as to evaporate the solvent in the dope solution, followed by peeling the resultant membrane off the plate and a soak into a cold water at 3.degree. C. to gelate the dope solution. Thus, a reverse osmotic membrane containing the porous sheets is completed. Six kinds of reverse osmotic membranes, wherein porous sheets are of polyethylene terephthalates, fabric of nylon, etc., are made according to the abovementioned way. Table 4 shows characteristics of these six kinds of membranes which were examined with a fed water containing NaCl of 1,500 ppm at 50.degree. C. under the pressure of 50 Kg/cm.sup.2. As a reference, a control membrane without any porous sheet to be compared with these six kinds of membranes of the present Example VI was manufactured in the similar manner to the present Example VI. From the table 4, we can see that the flux rises the higher when the smaller the area of apertures (i.e., mesh) of the porous sheet disposed closer to the surface of the active layer is; whereas the rejection against the salt rises the higher when the wider the area of aperture of the porous sheet disposed closer to the surface of the active layer is. Therefore, the abovementioned reverse osmotic membranes with only a area of apertures are especially useful to purify low concentration saline water, whereas the abovementioned membrane with wide area of apertures is especially useful for turning a high-concentrated saline water, for example, a sea water into a purified water. As the porous sheets, there are natural fabrics such as cotton, flax and wool, non-woven fabrics, webs and nets make of artificial fabrics such as viscose rayon, cellulose acetate, polyesters, polyamides, polyolefines and vinyl, porous plastic films, metallic nets etc. The reverse osmotic membranes of the above Example VI exhibit excellent characteristics even under a severe condition of considerably high pressures and high temperatures compared with that of the conventional reverse osmotic membranes, and thus are industrially useful.

C. The following Example VII shows further reverse osmotic membranes having characteristics improved more than those of the abovementioned membranes in Example VI. EXAMPLE VII The reverse osmotic membranes were produced, under the similar conditions to the above Example VI, with using a dope solution which was prepared by mixing acetone and formaldehyde of 45 parts by weight and 30 parts by weight, respectively, and 25 parts by weight of a synthetic resin of acetyl cellulose (No. E 398-3), as high-polymer materials for the reverse osmotic membrane, produced in the Eastman Kodak Co. in the U.S.A. The porous sheets buried within the membranes are 150 .mu.m thick, and the overall thickness of the membrane is 200 .mu.m. The characteristics of the reverse osmotic membranes were examined with a fed water containing NaCl of 200 ppm under the pressure of 30 Kg/cm.sup.2. The examined results are shown in Table 5.

Accordingly, in order to obtain a membrane of high flux, the cloth used should clear the abovementioned test. The abovementioned phenomenon is principally affected by the location of porous sheets in the membranes and it is also affected by the materials of the membranes, the sizes and the distribution of apertures in the gel layer, the thickness of the active layer, the membranes and the porous sheets, and the materials, the configuration and the sizes of texture of the porous sheets. It was empirically confirmed that the generally same effort as described above can be also attained in a case using other materials for the membranes and the porous sheets. Furthermore, it was empirically confirmed that when a net is buried within the membrane of the present invention to form a composit membrane, the membrane exhibits excellent fractional characteristics. From viewpoint of easy manufacturing of the membrane, a so-called cloth such as a plain woven cloth is proper rather than the net. For materials of the net, polymers such as polyolefines, polycarbonates, polyethylene phthalates and nylon, metals such as stainless steel and copper are suitable. Meshes of the net can be shaped into various forms such as hexagons, squares, rectangles and triangles. The sizes of meshes of the net, have a relation with the abovementioned fractional characteristics, and their preferable range is from 0.001 mm.sup.2 to 10 mm.sup.2. The abovementioned membrane containing the net has the same flux with that of the membrane per se notwithstanding the fact that it has apertures with nearly same diameters and thus has an excellent fractional characteristic. Additionally, the membrane can resist a high pressure and hence is stable for a long time. Method of continuous manufacturing of the reverse osmotic membrane in an industrial scale is illustrated referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. Cloths described below mean woven fabrics (e.g. sheer or gauze) and knitted fabrics of filaments, yarns, textured yarns etc. of polyesters, polyprophlenes, nylons, vinyls, cotton, wool, silk, flax, carbon fibers and etc. Film described below means plastic films made of the aforementioned polymers, foils and thin sheets of metals etc. First, the cloth 1 from a roll 2 is soaked in a polymer solution 3 which can form the reverse osmotic membrane. Therefore, the cloth 1 becomes impregnated with the polymer solution 3. The cloth 1 is put on a film 5 from a roll 4, and then is led to pass through a narrow gap between a pair of curved surfaces 6 and 6'. By the passing through the gap the polymer solution on the cloth 1 is moulded to form the membrane-structure with the buried cloth 1 therein. Since the curved surfaces 6, 6' are fixed with their opposing top faces parallel with each other and their curvature-radii differ from each other, pressures impressed by the curved surfaces 6,6' on both face of the cloth 1 are different. As a result, the thickness of the layers of polymer solution on the front and rear face of the cloth 1 become different from each other. Therefore, by suitably selecting the curvature-radii of the surfaces 6 and 6', the thicknesses of the layers of polymer solution on the front face and the rear face of the cloth 1 can be desirably controlled. As the cloth travels from the gap to a roller 8, the front face (the opposite face to the film 5) of the cloth 1 becomes an active layer 11 by a vaporization therefrom of the solvent in the polymer solution while the remaining portion (contacting the film 5) of the membrane becomes a gel layer 12 because the film 5 prevents the solvent from vaporizing. Accordingly, the reverse osmotic membrane 7, namely Loeb's membrane containing the cloth 1, is formed as shown in FIG. 3. In FIG. 3 numeral references 1a and 1b, respectively, indicate a warp and a woof of the cloth 1. Secondly, the reverse osmotic membrane 7, which is formed by burying the cloth 1 in the Loeb's membrane, and the film 5 are wound into a roll 9 and a roll 10, respectively, after passing a roller 8. It is also possible to dispose a dryer and/or a water tank in a position between the gap and the roller 8 in order to accelerate the vaporization of the solvent and/or to make the gelation according to the membrane-structure, respectively. The material of the curved surface 6 and 6' is for example a stainless steel. Table 6 shows a relationship of the kinds and the thickness of the polymer that can form the reverse osmotic membrane (hereinafter, referred only as "polymer"), the cloth and the film substance, the curvature-radii (A mm and B mm) of the pair of curved surfaces (hereinafter, referred as A-curved surface and B-curved surface, respectively), the gap (C .mu.m) between the A- and B- curved surfaces, and the thickness (D .mu.m) of the polymer layer on the faces of cloth on the A-curved surface and the thickness (E .mu.m) of the polymer layer on the face of cloth on the B-curved surface, in the above Example 9.

The definitions of reference marks A to E in Table 8 are the same as in the above Table 6. Table 8 __________________________________________________________________________ Film Cloth Thickness Thickness A B C D E Polymer Kind Material (.mu.m) Kind (.mu.m) (mm) (mm) (.mu.m) (.mu.m) (.mu.m) __________________________________________________________________________ Acetyl- Sheer, Polyester 80 Polyester 50 30 20 140 6 4 celllose film Polyamide Gauze,Cotton 100 Poly- 50 50 10 170 15 5 propylene film __________________________________________________________________________ Table 8 shows the reverse osmosis characteristics of the two kinds of reverse osmotic membranes containing a sheer and containing a satin instead of the sheer. Both reverse osmotic membranes were heat-treated at 80.degree. C. for 4 minutes and thereafter the characteristics were examined under the pressure of 30 Kg/cm.sup.2 with a fed water containing NaCl of 5,000 ppm at 25.degree. C. Table 8 ______________________________________ Buried Porous Sheet Re- Thick- Thick- jec- ness ness tion m.sup.3 / Kind Material (.mu.m) Polymer (.mu.m) (%) m.sup.2. day ______________________________________ Sheer Polyester 80 Acetyl 90 95.3 1.02 cellulose Satin Polyester 80 Acetyl 90 94.1 0.54 cellulose ______________________________________ The same effects are obtainable in a modified process wherein the roll 4a of the film 5 is disposed in the solution 3. Furthermore, the process can be modified to impregnate the composite sheet made by putting the cloth 1 and the film 5 on each other with the polymer solution 3 after combining thereof. As obviously seen from the abovementioned description on the method of the present invention, the reverse osmotic membranes, especially, plane membranes, can be easily and continuously manufactured and the location of the cloth buried within the membrane can be appropriately controlled. Because of the effect of burying the cloth therein, furthermore, the reverse osmotic membranes of the present invention have the improved reverse osmotic characteristics of the excellent rejection against salts and has as 1.5 to 2 times high flux as that of the conventional membranes disposed on and supported by cloth but not containing a buried cloth therein. The reverse osmotic plane membranes of the present invention can be shaped into a cylindrical membrane etc, for actual industrial use. * * * * *
