Patent number: 11399893Abstract: A rotational position determination apparatus is configured to determine an entry rotational position, which defines a rotational position of an insertion device like a stent at an entry site, such that a navigation of the insertion device from the entry site to a target site along an inner path results in a rotational position of the insertion device at the target site being equal to a desired target rotational position based on a representation of the inner path and the desired target rotational position. If the insertion device is arranged in the determined entry rotational position at the entry site and then navigated to the target site, it is therefore not necessary to rotate the insertion device at the target site.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Marcia Alves De Inda, Wilhelmus Petrus Maria Van Der Linden, Maya Ella Barley, Alessandro Guido Radaelli

Patent number: 11186529Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for generating higher hydrocarbon(s) from a stream comprising compounds with two or more carbon atoms (C2+), comprising introducing methane and an oxidant (e.g., O2) into an oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reactor that has been retrofitted into a system comprising an ethylene-to-liquids (ETL) reactor. The OCM reactor reacts the methane with the oxidant to generate a first product stream comprising the C2+ compounds. The first product stream can then be directed to a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) unit that recovers at least a portion of the C2+ compounds from the first product stream to yield a second product stream comprising the at least the portion of the C2+ compounds. The second product stream can then be directed to the ETL reactor. The higher hydrocarbon(s) can then be generated from the at least the portion of the C2+ compounds in the ETL reactor.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: LUMMUS TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Suchia Duggal, Guido Radaelli, Jarod McCormick, Andrew Aronson, Joel Cizeron
