CATALYTIC PROCEDURE FOR THE PREPARATION OF ORGANIC CARBONATES. Catalytic procedure for the preparation of an organic carbonate having general formula (I): (I) wherein R represents a C1-C10 alkyl radical, linear or branched, or a C5-C8 cycloalkyl radical; or of a cyclic organic carbonate having general formula (II): (II) wherein R' represents a C2-C5 alkylene radical, linear or branched; including ...

In an arrangement where a switching system receives parameter(s) concerning the traffic expected on a call from a first user to a second user, the system determines a priority for the call based on the expected traffic parameter(s), and information is transmitted to the second user during the call based on the determined priority and with less than a maximum jitter. The priority is selected from a...

A transfer belt (60) for carrying a paper sheet (40) in a papermachine from a press nip in a closed draw to a transfer point, where it is readily released. The belt comprises a supporting base (62) with a particle-filled polymer coating (80) on its paper-facing surface (66), which surface has a pressure-responsive recoverable degree of roughness. During compression in the nip, the surface (66) bec...
