  • Patent number: 10513427
    Abstract: In the case of a method for filling a transportation container (12) with a fluid, the fluid in a purification circuit (1) is conveyed multiple times through the purification installation (7), and by way of a contamination-measurement installation (15) a key contamination indicator of a fluid-specimen quantity in the purification circuit (1) is determined, wherein a filling procedure of the transportation container (12) with the fluid is terminated only once the key contamination indicator undershoots a first threshold value. The fluid-specimen quantity that is provided for determining the key contamination indicator may be diverted from the purification circuit (1), be infed to the contamination-measurement installation (15), and upon determining the key contamination indicator be returned to the purification circuit (1).

  • Patent number: 10513657
    Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid-crystalline media (LC media) having negative or positive dielectric anisotropy, comprising a low-molecular-weight component and a polymerizable component. The polymerizable component comprises self-aligning, polymerizable mesogens (polymerizable self-alignment additives) which effect homeotropic (vertical) alignment of the LC media at a surface or the cell walls of a liquid-crystal display (LC display). The invention therefore also encompasses LC displays having homeotropic alignment of the LC medium without alignment layers. The invention discloses novel structures for self-alignment additives which have a certain position of the functional groups.
