  • Publication number: 20130312525
    Abstract: A method for acoustically sensing an area is described. An acoustic transmit pulse is transmitted into the area by an acoustic transducer and a received signal is acquired with the aid of the transducer, in order to receive the transmit pulse reflected back from the area. Within a post-pulse oscillation time of the transducer, which directly follows the emission of the transmit pulse, the actual phase response of the received signal is determined. In the event the actual phase response deviates from a predefined setpoint phase response, an object is detected within the area. Also described is a device for acoustically sensing an area, which is designed to carry out the method.

  • Patent number: 8586793
    Abstract: Aldehyde or ketone compounds having more than one carbonyl group are reductively aminated to form a product amine compound having more than one primary amino group. The aldehyde or ketone compound is reacted with the product amine compound, to form a reaction mixture that contains one or more intermediates. The intermediate is then reductively aminated to form the desired product. This process produces the desired product in very high yields with low levels of secondary amine impurities.

  • Patent number: 8585861
    Abstract: Epoxy adhesive compositions containing a rubber-modified epoxy resin contain a bisphenol. The bisphenol can be pre-reacted with the rubber-modified epoxy resin to advance the resin. The adhesives are resistant to thermal degradation as can occur in so-called “overbake” conditions, in which the adhesive is heated to high temperatures for prolonged periods of time. In addition, expanded microballoons are included in epoxy structural adhesives to promote a desired fracture mode.
