Patent number: 6640231Abstract: A system and method lets a user create or import ontologies and create databases and related application software. These databases can be specially tuned to suit a particular need, and each comes with the same error-detection rules to keep the data clean. Such databases may be searched based on meaning, rather than on words-that-begin-with-something. And multiple databases, if generated from the same basic ontology can communicate with each other without any additional effort. Ontology management and generation tools enable enterprises to create databases that use ontologies to improve data integration, maintainability, quality, and flexibility. Only the relevant aspects of the ontology are targeted, extracting out a sub-model that has the power of the full ontology restricted to objects of interest for the application domain. To increase performance and add desired database characteristics, this sub-model is translated into a database system.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2000Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: Ontology Works, Inc.Inventors: William A. Andersen, Paul M. Brinkley, Joshua F. Engel, Brian J. Peterson

Patent number: 6437193Abstract: An improved method for the selective vapor phase oxidation of propylene to acrolein in a recirculating solids reactor system using a bismuth molybdate multimetal oxide involving specific reactant concentrations (preferably 5 mol % to 30 mol % propylene, 0 to 20 mol % oxygen, and the remainder inert gas), particle size (1 to 300 micrometers), temperature (250 to 450° C.) and gas (1 to 15 seconds) and solids (2 to 60 seconds) residence times. Such a process leads to improved selectivity and propylene conversion.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignees: E.

Patent number: 6310240Abstract: An improved method for the selective vapor phase oxidation of acrolein to acrylic acid in a recirculating solids reactor system using a particulate molybdenum vanadate multimetal oxide as oxidant involving specific reactant concentrations (preferably 5 mol % to 30 mol % propylene, 0 to 20 mol % oxygen, 0 to 70 mol % water, and the remainder inert gas), solids particle size (20 to 300 micrometers), temperature (250 to 450° C.) and gas (1 to 15 seconds) and solids (2 to 60 seconds) residence times. Such a process leads to improved selectivity, conversion and solids conversion ratio.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1998Date of Patent: October 30, 2001Assignees: E.

Patent number: 6281384Abstract: An improved method for manufacturing acrylic acid by vapor phase oxidation of propylene in a single step or reaction stage using as solid phase oxidant a mixture of two particulate solids comprising a bismuth molybdate multimetal oxide (e.g., Mo12Co3.5Bi1.1Fe0.8W0.5Si1.4K0.05Ox) and a molybdenum vanadate multimetal oxide (e.g., Mo12V4.8Sr0.5W2.4Cu2.2Ox). Such a process is advantageously carried out in a recirculating solids reactor system wherein the particulate mixture of solids in an oxidized state reacts with a feed gas containing propylene in a vertical riser reactor and after separation from the acrylic acid gaseous product the particulate mixture of solids in a reduced state is regenerated by contact with an oxygen containing gas in a separate regeneration reactor before recirculation to the riser for further reaction.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 1998Date of Patent: August 28, 2001Assignees: E. I. du Pont Nemours and Company, AtofinaInventors: Rashmikant Maganlal Contracter, Mark William Andersen, Jean B.
