  • Publication number: 20120036082
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for collecting and providing information on loaded/empty status of vehicles, which gathers loaded and empty vehicle information via the Internet and then provides shipping arrangement agencies in various regions information on freight for which a vehicle has not been dispatched and information on empty vehicles, from information collected on loaded and empty vehicles. Accordingly, multilevel procurement for freight is avoided, and freight can be delivered to a destination in a timely manner as requested by a merchant, which reduces freight transport charges and procurement fees.

  • Patent number: 8076428
    Abstract: Disclosed are an ethylene polymerization process, a catalyst for use in the process, a production method employing the catalyst, and a product produced thereby. More specifically, disclosed is a process of producing an ethylene copolymer from ethylene and an alpha-olefin comonomer, in which the produced ethylene copolymer has a multimodal molecular weight distribution and excellent processability and physical properties, and thus can increase the value and productivity of products, including pipes and films. Particularly, the produced ethylene copolymer has a trimodal or higher molecular weight distribution or density distribution, and thus, when it is a linear low-density copolymer, it has an excellent effect of improving the impact strength of films, and when it is a medium-density ethylene copolymer, it can be produced into pipes, which have slow crack growth rate and can be used even at high temperature.

  • Publication number: 20110245424
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of preparing poly(alkylene carbonate) that has a molecular weight and polymer chain structure precisely controlled by adding a chain transfer agent composed of a compound having an alcohol or carboxylic acid functional group upon alternating copolymerization of an epoxide compound and carbon dioxide using a catalyst composed of a trivalent metal complex compound synthesized from a quaternary ammonium salt-containing Salen type ligand, and to a polymer compound prepared thereby.
