Abstract: Oils or fats, in particular of vegetable, but also of animal origin, are reacted with methanol or ethanol and an alkaline catalyst in the liquid phase. Glycerine and methyl esters of fatty acids or ethyl esters of fatty acids are formed. The reaction is carried out using at least two reaction steps, each reaction step having a mixing reactor and a separator for the separation of a light, ester-rich phase and a heavy, glycerine-rich phase. The oil or the fat, the alcohol and the catalyst are added to the mixing reactor in the first reaction step and these substances are intensively mixed. The alcohol and the catalyst as well as the light, ester-rich phase obtained in the preceding reaction step are added for intensive mixing to the mixing reactor in the second and each further reaction step. A heavy phase is separated in the separator in the second to last reaction step and at least partly fed back to the mixing reactor in the first reaction step. Methyl esters of fatty acids or ethyl esters of fatty acids are obtained from the light, ester-rich phase separated in the last reaction step by at least one further separation treatment. The process is preferably carried out using two reaction steps. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention described forms improved ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) material by doping an intrinsic perovskite material having an intrinsic ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) critical grain size with one or more donor dopants, then forming a layer of the donor doped perovskite material having an average grain size less than the intrinsic ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) critical grain size whereby the remanent polarization (or pyroelectric figure of merit) of the layer is substantially greater than the remanent polarization (or pyroelectric figure of merit) of the intrinsic perovskite material with an average grain size similar to the average grain size of the layer. The critical ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) grain size, as used herein, means the largest grain size such that the remanent polarization (or pyroelectric figure of merit) starts to rapidly decrease with decreasing grain sizes. Preferably, the donor doped perovskite material is further doped with one or more acceptor dopants to form a donor-acceptor doped perovskite material whereby the resistivity is substantially increased. Preferably, the intrinsic perovskite material has a chemical composition ABO₃, where A is one or more monovalent, divalent or trivalent elements, and B is one or more pentavalent, tetravalent, trivalent or divalent elements. 
     Structures containing an improved ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) material include a layer of donor doped perovskite material with average grain size less than the intrinsic ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) critical grain size formed on the surface of a substrate. Other structures include such a layer of donor doped material interposed between two electrically conducting layers.

Abstract: An architecture (20) that provides for the connection of storage media and disks to multiple workstations (15) or ports, and which overcomes rate incompatibilities of the various components in the architecture (20). The rate incompatibilities are overcome such that one storage unit (13) may be connected to many workstations (15) so that individual workstations (15) operate as though they were the only connection to the storage unit (13). The storage unit (13) is operated in parallel using a redundant array of storage disks to supply data at a very high rate. The disks are connected through a high speed backplane bus (24) to rate buffers on input and output cards. The input and output cards are connected by high speed optical data links (26) to interface cards in the workstations (15) that accept data transmitted at high data rates and deliver the data to the workstation memory. Each input or output card is time shared by a number of workstations (15). The data is moved through the input or output card on the storage unit (13) so quickly that there is a low probability of two workstations (15) wanting to move data through the same port at the same time.
