  • Patent number: 11410310
    Abstract: Apparatus for an automatic identification of medically relevant video elements, the apparatus comprising a data input, configured to receive a data stream of image slices, wherein the data stream of image slices represents a temporal course of a view of image slices defined by a masking strip of video images from a video which has been recorded during a medical surgery on a patient an analysis apparatus configured to analyze the data stream of image slices via an analysis comprising at least one predefined analysis step for the presence of at least one sought-for feature and to output a result of the presence, and a processing device configured to output a start mark which indicates a correspondence between the presence and a position in the data stream of image slices if the result indicates the presence of the sought-for feature. Also, a corresponding method is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6566564
    Abstract: Process for the isomerization of precursor allyl alcohols to product allyl alcohols in the presence of tungsten oxo(VI) complexes comprising additional nitrogen-containing ligands at temperatures of from 50 to 300° C., wherein, in the catalyst, as well as the nitrogen bases known as additional nitrogen-containing ligands, or instead of these nitrogen bases, aminoalcohols such as triethanolamine, diethanolamine, monoethanolamine, tripropanolamine, dipropanolamine, 3-amino-1-propanol, 1-amino-2-propanol, 2-amino-1-propanol, butyldiethanolamine, methyldiisopropanolamine, N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2-diaminoethane or N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)amine are present as additional nitrogen-containing ligands. The process is particularly suitable for the preparation of tertiary product allyl alcohols, such as linalool, by isomerizing primary or secondary allyl alcohols, such as geraniol and nerol.
