Abstract: Oils or fats, in particular of vegetable, but also of animal origin, are reacted with methanol or ethanol and an alkaline catalyst in the liquid phase. Glycerine and methyl esters of fatty acids or ethyl esters of fatty acids are formed. The reaction is carried out using at least two reaction steps, each reaction step having a mixing reactor and a separator for the separation of a light, ester-rich phase and a heavy, glycerine-rich phase. The oil or the fat, the alcohol and the catalyst are added to the mixing reactor in the first reaction step and these substances are intensively mixed. The alcohol and the catalyst as well as the light, ester-rich phase obtained in the preceding reaction step are added for intensive mixing to the mixing reactor in the second and each further reaction step. A heavy phase is separated in the separator in the second to last reaction step and at least partly fed back to the mixing reactor in the first reaction step. Methyl esters of fatty acids or ethyl esters of fatty acids are obtained from the light, ester-rich phase separated in the last reaction step by at least one further separation treatment. The process is preferably carried out using two reaction steps. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Known methods of transferring between centres the handling of an active connection between a user and a mobile terminal in a telecommunication system designed for mobile communication generally have the disadvantage that the routing obtained is inefficient. By investigating both a first route between a first switching centre and the user and a second route between a second switching centre and the user for common centres which are able to handle call control and connection control separately, of which the common centre situated nearest the first switching centre is designated as central intelligence point or, if the latter is not found, by designating the centre situated nearest the user as central intelligence point and then setting up a connection between a central intelligence point found in this way and the second switching centre, the most efficient routing is obtained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to apparatus and methods for sharing traffic among a plurality of automatic call distributor (ACD) sites (1,31,32,33) serving a customer. Each ACD site has a main queue (10) for storing incoming calls to that ACD, and a group of overflow queues (11,12) for storing calls rerouted from one of the other ACD sites. Before rerouting a call to an alternate site (31,32), the overflow queue (11,12) for that site is checked; if it has an excessive number of entries, calls will not be rerouted to that alternate site. If one of the ACD sites (33) is not appropriately equipped with overflow queues for different sites and an appropriate program for steering calls, that ACD site can route its overflow traffic via one of the ACD sites, designated as a mother node (1), for distributing overflow from the one site to others. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An open-cell porous material comprises an epoxy compound cured with a curing agent, a microballoon dispersed therein and open pores formed therein which is prepared by stirring a mixture of a resin material, a microballoon, a curing agent and water to give an emulsion slurry, casting the slurry in a water-impermeable mold and curing the slurry in the water-containing state; and a mold for pressure-cast-molding a ceramic article comprises, as a filter medium layer, the open-cell porous material. The weight of the open-cell porous material can be reduced without substantially impairing the mechanical strength thereof through the use of a microballoon as a filler. If the porous material is used for forming into a mold for pressure-cast-molding a ceramic article, other facilities such as fixing parts and mold clamping devices can accordingly be lightened and made compact. Moreover, molded articles never cause deformation even if the molded article is transferred while a split mold is fixed to the article immediately after it is released from the mold. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A coffee machine comprises mainly a freshwater container (1), a freshwater pipe (3), a pump (6), a water heater (7), and a brewing chamber (20). In this brewing chamber there is a plunger (22) which can be actuated hydraulically by brewing water (8) for compressing ground coffee (25). A valve device (14) is also arranged in the coffee machine in such a way that any residual water present after the brewing operation in the brewing chamber (20) and in the pipe (11) is conducted away. A valve piston (16) mounted in the valve device (14) is mechanically forcibly coupled to the pivotable brewing chamber (20). After the ground coffee (25) has been brewed, the valve piston (16) is moved through the downwardly travelling brewing chamber (20) to its upper stop. There is thus now communication between the pipe (11) and the discharge pipe (10). Via this communication, the residual water located on the back of the movable plunger (22) and in the pipe (11) can flow away out of the coffee machine. This discharge flow can also be assisted by the returning plunger (22). It is guaranteed by this measure that the brewed coffee beverage is hot and that it corresponds in taste to the expectations of the consumer. Additionally, a coffee beverage prepared in this manner is satisfactory in terms of its microbiological condition.
