The Committee on Patents of the Board of Trustees has examined the disclosure documents and other background materials related to these inventions and recommends approval. 1. Heterogeneous, Selective Catalyst for the Hydrogenation of Soy Bean Oil and Other Polyunsaturated Substances — John C. Bailar, Jr., Professor of Chemistry (Emeritus), Urbana-Champaign, and Harold S. Bruner, formerly Research Assistant in Chemistry, Urbana-Champaign, inventors. University Patents, Inc., has indicated that this idea has definite commercial potential. Accordingly, the University Patent Committee recommends that the rights of the University in this invention be transferred to the University of Illinois Foundation. 2. Plate Transducer for the Generation and Detection of Elastic Surface Waves on Ferroelectric Materials — Robert J. Kansy, Research Assistant in the Coordinated Science Laboratory, Urbana-Champaign, inventor; developed under the sponsorship of the Joint Services Electronics Program. University Patents, Inc., has indicated that this idea has definite commercial potential. Accordingly, the University Patent Committee recommends that the rights of the University in this invention be transferred to the University of Illinois Foundation, subject to the rights of the sponsor. 3.
