  • Publication number: 20220414877
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an extended-reality device having an interface, a computing unit, and a user interface. The extended-reality device may be configured to capture, using the interface, a procedure of an imaging examination using an imaging apparatus. The computing unit may be configured to determine information concerning the procedure of the imaging examination and to provide said information to a user of the extended-reality device using the user interface. The disclosure further relates to a system including an imaging apparatus with an extended-reality device, and to a method for providing information concerning a procedure of an imaging examination using the system.

  • Patent number: 9593059
    Abstract: Mixed butenes from a cracking process, or raffmates of MTBE or tert-butyl alcohol (TBA), are simultaneously hydrated using water in the presence of a catalyst to produce sec-butyl alcohol (SBA) and tert-butyl alcohol as the principal products, the mixed butanols having utility as fuel additives, e.g., as oxygenates and octane enhancers to replace MTBE, and as a neat fuel.

  • Patent number: 8629080
    Abstract: An olefin hydration catalyst and method for producing same is provided. The olefin hydration catalyst can be prepared by contacting a niobium containing compound with a strong Bronsted acid, such as sulfuric or phosphoric acid, to produce niobium oxo sulfate or niobium oxo phosphate nanoparticles. The nanoparticles can be separated, dried and utilized in a reactor for the hydration of olefins to their corresponding alcohols.
