  • Publication number: 20250051271
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing taurine, methyltaurate and methyltaurine by using ethylene oxide, including: preparing taurine by an ethylene oxide process, and obtaining a taurine mother liquor; mixing the taurine mother liquor with methylamine, adding an alkaline catalyst, and carrying out an amination reaction to obtain a reaction solution; evaporating ammonia and methylamine from the reaction solution to obtain a methyltaurate solution; preparing a methyltaurine solution by using the methyltaurate solution; and concentrating and crystallizing the methyltaurine solution to obtain methyltaurine. The method of the invention avoids the problem of recycling a mother liquor in the existing taurine production to reduce the generation possibility of impurities, and meanwhile, can achieve quantitative conversion to methyltaurate and methyltaurine by controlling a molar ratio of raw materials to the catalyst in the reaction.

  • Patent number: 12160497
    Abstract: A clock generator circuit may include a multiplex circuit and a phase-locked loop circuit. The multiplex circuit may generate a reference clock signal for the phase-locked loop circuit by selecting one of different clock signals. In response to a switch of the reference clock signal from one clock signal to another, the phase-locked loop circuit may disable phase-locking and enter into a frequency acquisition mode during which the frequency of the phase-locked loop circuit's output clock signal is adjusted based on the frequency of the newly selected reference clock signal. After a period of time has elapsed, the phase-locked loop circuit returns to phase-locking operation.

  • Patent number: 11256283
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a hybrid asynchronous gray counter with a non-gray zone detector are described. A circuit includes an asynchronous gray counter coupled to control logic. The control logic programs the asynchronous gray counter to operate in different modes to perform various functions associated with a high-performance phase-locked loop (PLL). In a first mode, the asynchronous gray counter serves as a frequency detector to count oscillator cycles within a reference clock cycle. In a second mode, the asynchronous gray counter serves as a coarse phase detector to detect a phase error between a feedback clock and a reference clock. In a third mode, the asynchronous gray counter serves as a multi-modulus divider to divide an oscillator clock down to create a feedback clock. Using a single asynchronous gray counter for three separate functions reduces power consumption and area utilization.
