  • Production of aromatics from noncatalytically cracked fatty acid based oils
    Patent number: 9273252
    Abstract: A method for producing aromatic compounds from fatty acid oils including heating a fatty acid oil to a temperature between about 100° C. to about 800° C. at a pressure between about vacuum conditions and about 200 psia for a time sufficient to crack the oil and produce a cracked fatty acid oil; removing undesired materials, unreacted oil, heavy ends, and light ends from the cracked fatty acid oil; heating the resulting purified cracked fatty acid oil to a temperature between about 100° C. to about 800° C. at a pressure between about vacuum conditions and about 200 psia for a time sufficient to reform alkenes and alkanes in the cracked fatty acid oil into aromatic compounds and produce a reformed fatty acid oil; and extracting components from the reformed fatty acid oil to produce a mixture of chemical products containing between 5% and 90% aromatic compounds by weight.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 23, 2012
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2016
    Assignee: University of North Dakota
    Inventors: Wayne Seames, Brian Tande
  • Coating for a decoy or fishing lure exhibiting realistic spectral reflectance
    Patent number: 8650795
    Abstract: A coating for an animal decoy or fishing lure with a surface reflection which closely matches the spectral reflectance pattern of the animal that it is designed to mimic, including both human-visible and ultraviolet wavelengths, with the intent of making the decoy or fishing lure appear more realistic to animals that can see in both the human-visible and ultraviolet spectrums.

  • Pultruded building product and system
    Patent number: 7520099
    Abstract: A building product includes a pultruded composite profile having an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein the inner wall includes a level of porosity such that water vapor is able to diffuse through the inner wall, but liquid water cannot substantially penetrate the inner wall.
