  • Patent number: 11549648
    Abstract: A thermally activatable safety valve for a pressure vessel includes i) a pressure relief unit having a valve for pressure relief of the pressure vessel; ii) at least one release line which extends away from the pressure relief unit; and iii) at least one bursting device. The release line, the bursting device and the valve are fluidically connected and form a common fluid system. The valve is designed, for pressure relief, to pass from a first closed position into a second open position if the pressure in the fluid system is less than an actuating limit pressure. The bursting device is designed to bring about pressure relief in the fluid system if the pressure in the fluid system exceeds a release pressure.

  • Publication number: 20220012874
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of generating augmented images of tissue of a patient, wherein each augmented image associates at least one tissue parameter with a region or pixel of the image of the tissue, said method comprising the following steps: obtaining one or more multispectral images of said tissue, and applying a machine learning based regressor or classifier, or an out of distribution (OoD) detection algorithm for determining information about the closeness of the multispectral image or parts of said multispectral image to a given training data set, or a change detection algorithm to at least a part of said one or more multispectral images, or an image derived from said multispectral image, or to a time sequence of multispectral images, parts of multiple images or images derived therefrom, to thereby derive one or more tissue parameters associated with image regions or pixels of the corresponding multispectral image.

  • Publication number: 20220008157
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of generating augmented images of tissue of a patient undergoing open treatment, in particular open surgery, wherein each augmented image associates at least one tissue parameter with a region or pixel of the image of the tissue, said method comprising the following steps: estimating a spectral composition of light illuminating a region of interest of the tissue, obtaining one or more multispectral images of the region of interest, applying a machine learning based regressor or classifier to the one or more multispectral images, or an image derived from said multispectral image, to thereby derive one or more tissue parameters associated with image regions or pixels of the corresponding multispectral image, wherein said regressor or classifier has been trained to predict the one or more tissue parameters from a multispectral image under a given spectral composition of illumination, wherein the regressor or classifier employed is made to match the estimated spectral composition of l
