Patent number: 10227278Abstract: The production of 2-propylheptanol described here is effected via Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of C4-olefin to afford C5-aldehyde, aldol condensation to afford the C10-aldehyde and hydrogenation to afford the C10-alcohol. The emphasis is on the hydroformylation and the ligand employed therein. The problem addressed by the invention is that of reducing the costs of 2PH production. This problem is solved when a cheaper catalyst system which simultaneously achieves a better regioselectivity is employed in the hydroformylation.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: EVONIK DEGUSSA GmbHInventors: Katrin Marie Dyballa, Robert Franke, Dirk Fridag, Markus Schwarz, Hermann-Josef Schulte-Althoff, Frank Geilen

Patent number: 8579808Abstract: A tensioning device of a surgical retractor has a tensioning section for applying a tensile force to a tool that is to be arranged thereon, and a holding bar fixed in position relative to the tensioning section, and also a locking device. The locking device is provided between the holding bar and the tensioning section and has a releasable locking function counter to the direction of the tensile force. The tensioning device can be operated comfortably, with minimal force being applied, is optimally accessible and takes up only a small overall volume. This is made possible by the fact that the locking device is configured as a linear ratchet or linear feed mechanism and that the feed mechanism has an actuating lever and an unlocking device.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Condor GmbH MedicaltechnikInventor: Hermann-Josef Schulte
