A side-chain of a substituted aromatic compound is alkylated by reacting the aromatic compound with an alkylating agent in the presence of a catalyst. Time counters to count time in at least two different formats are located locally at each unit. The control or automatic control is operatively configured such that, in a coasting operation of the internal-combustion engine, the swash plate is adjusted such that the evaporator temperature is lowered below the defined desired evaporator temperature. The target computing device receives an authentication token from the authentication server in response to the mobile computing device successfully authenticating the user to the authentication server. The method further includes, based at least on the high or low value of the boundary value, adjusting the offset compensation applied to the input data signal.
