  • Patent number: 9683088
    Abstract: A process for regenerating sulfur-crosslinked rubber vulcanizates to regenerates, wherein at least one regenerating agent is used in the regeneration. The regenerating agent is selected from the group consisting of dithiophosphoryl polysulfides and/or silanes having a polysulfane group. Regenerates which have been produced by means of the process lead to improved or equal rolling resistance indicators and a lower compression set in vulcanized rubber mixtures compared to regenerates known in the prior art.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8300906
    Abstract: A method is described for displaying an image of an illumination field of a medical operation. The method includes recording an image at an illumination field of an operation, receiving a color temperature signal representative of an operating lamp that illuminates the illumination field of the operation, based on the received color temperature signal, adjusting parameters to compensate for differences in the received color temperature signal from white balance to produce a white balanced image, and outputting the white balanced image to a monitor.

  • Publication number: 20090040366
    Abstract: An operation lamp system includes an adjustable mount, an operation lamp mounted to the adjustable mount, a camera mounted to the adjustable mount, a signal compression device mounted to the adjustable mount. The signal compression device is configured to provide a compressed video signal from a video signal of the camera. The operation lamp system further includes a camera control device, and a transmission system arranged along the adjustable mount and including a video connection electrically connecting the signal compression device and the camera control device.
