Title: Method for the trans-esterification of triglycerides with monoalcohols having a low molecular weight in order to obtain light alcohol esters using mixed catalysts
Inventor: ARACIL MIRA J
IPC: C11C3/10
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: The transesterification of triglycerides obtained from vegetable or
animal oils or with used frying oils to obtain fatty acid esters of low molecular
weight alcohols has been carried out with a mixed catalytic system made up
of carboxylic acid salts and alkaline metal hydroxides. With this catalytic
system the preliminary preparatory steps can be eliminated and the operation
time reduced. 
     The process is carried out at moderate conditions of pressure and
temperature, in a stirred-tank reactor, in continuous or discontinuous mode. 
     The esters obtained can be used as fuels and solvents in addition to
other uses.

Patent EP-1518164-A1 (EP)
Inventor: EPSTEIN MICHAEL
IPC: H03K3/84
Filed: 2003-06-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for generating random numbers using the meta-stable behavior of latches. Each time a latch becomes meta-stable, the outcome of the oscillation is random as to the logic value attained after the oscillation ceases. If the output of a latch differs from the value that would have been attained during correct operation of the latch (i.e., a "mistake"), then a meta-stable event can be detected. When two or more substantially identical latches operate in parallel, a mistake can be detected when at least two of the latches have different outputs. The detection of a mistake can be used to trigger the generation of a random bit. The present invention operates a number of latches in parallel, and applies the same binary value to each input of each latch. When a latch enters a meta-stable state, the output of the latch will shift randomly before stabilizing at a random output value of either logic low or high. When two latches stabilize to different values, a mistake can be identified thereby triggering the generation of a random bit.
