  • Publication number: 20250060702
    Abstract: The disclose relates to a method for producing volume reflection holograms with substrate-guided reconstruction beams and/or substrate-guided diffracted beams in a single-beam set-up, including the steps of (i) providing at least one laser beam source producing a recording beam having a first wave vector (ii) providing a holographic recording medium on a transparent substrate, the substrate having a first flat side facing the at least one laser beam source and a second flat side facing away from the at least one laser beam source, where the holographic recording medium is arranged on the first flat side or on the second flat side, (iii) providing a reflector arrangement arranged on the second flat side of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 10717045
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing oxygen from hydrocarbon-containing gas mixtures, characterized in that a hydrocarbon-containing gas mixture containing 50 vol % of one or more hydrocarbons, 2 to 10 vol % of oxygen, and possibly one or more gases from the group comprising nitrogen, noble gases, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water is introduced into an isothermally operated reactor, in which the oxygen contained in the hydrocarbon-containing gas mixture is at least partially converted into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of one or more catalysts, wherein the specifications in vol % relate to the total volume of the hydrocarbon-containing gas mixture introduced into the reactor and add up to 100 vol % in total.

  • Patent number: 6417000
    Abstract: The invention relates to water-insoluble polymers which promote cell proliferation, contain carboxylate and sulfonate groups and are obtainable by free radical copolymerization of one or more aliphatically unsaturated monomers containing carboxylate groups, or the correspondingly functionalized derivatives of the monomers, as component I with one or more aliphatically unsaturated monomers containing sulfonate groups, or the correspondingly functionalized derivatives of the monomers, as component II and a component III which comprises an aliphatically unsaturated monomer or several aliphatically unsaturated monomers, the correspondingly functionalized derivatives being converted into carboxylate and sulfonate groups after the copolymerization, and to a process for their preparation, wherein the polymers are useful for forming articles which promote cell proliferation.
