Publication number: 20050134843Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method of detecting impurities in a cylindrically shaped transparent medium, wherein the cylindrically shaped transparent medium is illuminated with electromagnetic radiation, and the radiation having components emerging radially from the medium, and at least some of the components are received by a detector for detecting impurities of the medium. The components are detected at a multiplicity of relative angular positions around the symmetry axis of the cylinder, so as to form an impurity diagram that may be analyzed to detect and measure impurities in the medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2004Publication date: June 23, 2005Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Christian Laue, Gernot Brasen, Frank Lautenbach, Matthias Loeffler, Heiko Theuer

Publication number: 20040120043Abstract: An optical device has a rotatable birefringent crystal. The crystal is rotatable around a first axis (4; 42) and has a crystallographic-optical axis (6; 44) in a plane that is perpendicular to the first axis. In addition, the crystal is rotated around the first axis in order to control a displacement (&Dgr;x) of a light beam in the plane when the light beam is polarized within the plane and directed onto the crystal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2003Publication date: June 24, 2004Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gernot Brasen, Christian Laue, Matthias Loeffler

Patent number: 6630540Abstract: This invention relates to covulcanizable anti-aging agents which can be produced by the reaction of p-phenylenediamines, which are optionally substituted, and/or of sterically hindered phenols, with bifunctional alkyl, aryl and/or aralkyl compounds and by subsequent reaction of the products thus obtained with sulfur and/or sulfur donor compounds. The anti-aging agents according to the present invention maintain their efficacy over a long period of time and are distinguished in particular by the fact that in practice, they are hardly extracted from the vulcanized products by water, by oil and/or petrol, or by hydraulic fluids.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2001Date of Patent: October 7, 2003Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Christian Laue, Markus Oberthür

Patent number: 6414192Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing 4-aminodiphenylamine, an important starting product for synthesizing antioxidants and stabilizers in the rubber and polymer industry, by hydrogenating nitrosobenzene with hydrogen in the presence of a proton acid as catalyst and in the presence of a hydrogenating catalyst, optionally in the presence of an inert organic solvent and thermally decomposing the 4-ADPA ammonium salt produced in this way, wherein 4-ADPA is obtained. 4-aminodiphenylamine is produced in good yields and high purity by the process according to the present invention. Furthermore, no effluent is produced, which makes the process particularly economic and ecological.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2001Date of Patent: July 2, 2002Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Schelhaas, Carl Casser, Dietmar Bielefeldt, Pieter Ooms, Joachim Haider, Manfred Jautelat, Christian Laue, Henry Giera
