  • Method for the production of aromatic carbonyl compounds
    Patent number: 8338649
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of an aromatic carbonyl compound by the oxidation of a methyl group or methylene group bonded to the aromatic group in which the aromatic substance is reacted in the presence of an oxidizing agent and a sulphoxide, a sulphoxide being selected for the oxidation of a specific aromatic substance whose ionization potential, in terms of magnitude, differs from the ionization potential of the aromatic substance to be oxidized by a maximum of ±0.25 eV.

  • Fixture for spatial positioning of a device
    Patent number: 7871047
    Abstract: In a fixture for spatial positioning of a device, in particular a device for a medical application, that is supported in a pivoting arrangement on a holding device or the like by means of an arm, quick and easy alignment of the device in relation to a person's treatment area is provided. This alignment is achieved in that a ring-shaped holding body is attached to the free end of the arm, that a spherical outer jacket surface is provided on the device with the surface enclosed wholly or in part by the holding body, and that the outer jacket surface of the device is held in the holding body and can be pivoted relative to the holding body.
