Publication number: 20170180822Abstract: Currently, there is no single turnkey solution for protecting video content online. Instead, the industry norm is to rely on a combination of techniques that aim to restrict access of video streams to only the audience with prior authorization to view the content. Embodiments of the present invention provide real-time methods and systems for watermarking video content by determining personal attribute information of a recipient of the subject video content and, in connection with streaming the subject video content to the recipient, executing a plurality of massively parallel servers to generate a watermark from the personal attribute information and embed the watermark into the subject video content in real-time during streaming of the video content by causing burn-in of the generated watermark into a layout of the subject video content and/or embedding the watermark as a code in the subject video content.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2016Publication date: June 22, 2017Inventors: Kai Christian Pradel, Alex J. Nauda, Michael Delano

Patent number: 8809765Abstract: A sensor protector is intended to reduce the sensitivity of the optical sensor (4) to radiation products which, for example, are formed during sterilization with gamma radiation and to ensure simple and cost-effective manufacture. The sensor protector includes an upper part (1), a lower part (3) and an optical sensor (4). The optical sensor (4) situated on the lower part is positionable in an offset manner with respect to an opening (2) situated in the upper part and movable by means of displacement toward the opening (2) of the upper part (1). The sensor protector is suitable for use in containers and laboratory products that are sterilized by gamma radiation, for example disposable bioreactors.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2010Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbHInventors: Stefan Weisshaar, Michael Bates, Christian Pradel, Volker Limpert

Patent number: 8177972Abstract: An adapter is provided for fastening a filter element in a cylindrical receiving opening of a bottom part of a lower piece of a filter housing. The adapter has at least one seal arranged in a peripheral groove on the circumference of the adapter to permit fluid-tight separation of a non-filtrate chamber, which surrounds the external jacket of the filter and from which medium to be filtered can be delivered to the filter, from a filtrate chamber into which the filtrate can be introduced from the filter. The seal is connected by injection molding to a base surface of the peripheral groove and is at a distance from at least one side wall delimiting the base surface of the groove.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2009Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbHInventors: Ulrich Grummert, Ralf Lausch, Paschalis Nikoloudis, Christian Pradel, Michael Schuetzler

Patent number: 7753247Abstract: A surgical stapling device for applying staples in a layer of tissue. A staple magazine is arranged in a device body and contains a plurality of spring loaded, stacked staples. A triggering element moves from a ready position to an actuation position causing an upper die to pick up a staple at an outlet of the staple magazine, to bend the staple feet inwards, and to fold, on an anvil engaging between the staple feet, the ends of a staple cross bar so as to form staple legs. A flat, spring-loaded tongue ejector element extends beneath the anvil. The ejector element is displaced against its direction of transport when the triggering element is moved from a readiness position into the actuation position, and is displaced in its direction of transport when the triggering element returns to the ready position so as to push the applied staple from the anvil.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2008Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbHInventor: Christian Pradel
