  • Publication number: 20210387156
    Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for producing microparticles having, in their interior, at least one cavity which is connected via pores to the surface of the microparticles and which have been laden with at least one organic active of low molecular weight. The invention especially relates to a process for loading microparticles with at least one organic active of low molecular weight, wherein the active has been embedded in a matrix and/or the pores of the microparticles have been closed by means of a substance applied to the surface of the microparticles. The invention additionally relates to a process for sealing microparticles laden with at least one organic active of low molecular weight. The invention also relates to compositions of microparticles laden with at least one active of low molecular weight and to the use thereof.

  • Patent number: 10955968
    Abstract: A input system (100), controlling an electromedical device (105), includes a network (110), an input unit (120) and a control unit (140). The input unit has a touch display (122) and detects an input area (125) and outputs an input signal (126) to the network via an input interface (128), if a comparison between the input area and a displayed control menu (130) makes possible an assignment, between the input area and the control command, if the input area is located within a command area (132) on the touch display, and if the control command is contained in a group of currently executable control commands. The control unit receives the input signal and outputs a control signal (142), based on the input signal, to the electromedical device for actuating the corresponding application and sends a confirmation signal (144) to the input unit after the output of the control signal.

  • Publication number: 20200387336
    Abstract: A display system (100) displays an output of an electromedical device (105). A display unit (110) displays a visual output (114) based on a received display signal (112). A display signal unit (120) receives electromedical device data (107), assigns these data to a visualization type, dynamically determines a display type depending on the visualization types to be displayed and generates the display signal based on the data and the determined display type and outputs to the display unit. A display signal monitoring unit (130) is signal connected to the display unit and the display signal unit and receives the display signal and a display unit output signal (118). The display signal contains information on the visual output carried out. The display signal monitoring unit compares the display signal and the output signal and outputs a warning signal (134) in case of a lack of agreement.

  • Publication number: 20200016583
    Abstract: Described herein is a process for providing a catalytically active fixed bed for hydrogenation of organic compounds, in which a fixed bed including monolithic shaped bodies as catalyst supports or consisting of monolithic shaped bodies is introduced into a reactor and the fixed bed is then contacted with at least one catalyst or a precursor thereof. The fixed beds laden with a catalyst that are obtained in this way are especially suitable for the hydrogenation of organic compounds in the presence of CO, wherein the conversion is at least 90%. They are notable in that only a very small proportion, if any, of the catalyst introduced is released into the reaction medium.

  • Patent number: 8618684
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating a wind turbine with a rotor having a rotor blade adjustable in its blade pitch angle. A generator is connected to the rotor and a measurement unit captures an actual value of a variable representative of a rotational speed of the generator. A set-point for a generator torque is provided and the set-point thereof is corrected. An actual value of a variable representative of a rotational speed of the generator is captured. A set-point for the torque as a function of the captured actual value is provided and the set-point for the torque as a function of a parameter for air density is corrected. A pitch angle value is captured and the set-point for the torque is increased when the captured value for the pitch angle exceeds a minimum value and has been corrected on the basis of an air density parameter.
