  • Electrochemical production of formate
    Patent number: 11814738
    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the electrochemical production of formate. The process is performed in an electrochemical cell comprising a cathode compartment containing a cathode, an anode compartment containing a nickel-based anode and an ion exchange membrane separating the anode compartment from the cathode compartment. The process comprises the following steps: (a) feeding an anolyte comprising at least one polyol to the anode compartment; (b) feeding a catholyte comprising CO2 to the cathode compartment; (c) and applying a voltage difference between the cathode and the anode such that at the cathode CO2 is reduced to formate and at the anode the at least one polyol is oxidized to formate.
    Type: Grant

  • Relational database compiled/stored on a memory structure providing improved access through use of redundant representation of data
    Patent number: 6519601
    Abstract: A relational database compiled/stored on a computer environment for storing data about units of work includes a first set of tables and a second set of tables. The first set of tables includes first columns and first tuples and a first dataset containing first data included in the first columns and first tuples. The second set of tables includes second columns and second tuples and a second dataset consisting of second data. The data included in the second columns and second tuples being second data. The units of work including first services, final services and current services. The unit of work having a status being inactive, active or terminated. The second data is a redundant representation of a part of the first data.
