Abstract: A portion of the signed message in an ECPVS is kept truly confidential by dividing the message being signed into at least three parts, wherein one portion is visible, another portion is recoverable by any entity and carries the necessary redundancy for verification, and at least one additional portion is kept confidential. The additional portion is kept confidential by encrypting such portion using a key generated from information specific to that verifying entity. In this way, any entity with access to the signer's public key can verify the signature by checking for a specific characteristic, such as a certain amount of redundancy in the one recovered portion, but cannot recover the confidential portion, only the specific entity can do so.  Message recovery is also provided in an elliptic curve signature using a modification of the well analyzed ECDSA signing equation instead of, e.g. the Schnorr equation used in traditional PV  signature schemes.

Title: Targeted hydrogenation hydrocracking
Inventor: BHATTACHARYA SUBHASIS
IPC: C10G31/06
Filed: 2008-12-15
Abstract: This invention is directed to a process scheme in which a partial conversion hydrocracking (HCR) unit, preferably preceded by a hydrotreating unit, feeds unconverted oil to a FCC (fluid catalytic cracking ) unit. Most refineries run the FCC unit at the full capacity for optimal asset utilization. During shutdowns of Residue Desulfurization unit(s) which feed an FCC unit, it is desirable to reduce the conversion in the FCC feed hydrocracker. hi this way, the feed to FCC  unit is maximized. Jet and Diesel products that conform to specifications may be produced during low conversion HCR operation. Furthermore, undesirable oversaturation of the unconverted oil (UCO) from the HCR  unit feeding the FCC unit can be avoided. Excess hydrogen consumption can also be avoided. Normally, further aromatic saturation of the middle distillate products from a low conversion HCR is achieved in a separate, post treatment, unit.
