Abstract: A measurement system for measuring a position of an eyebox of a virtual image of a pair of spectacles that can be worn on the head of a user can include a holding device for holding the spectacles at a predefined position, and a projection area element, onto which light beams that generate a virtual image can be projected via the first spectacle lens when the spectacles are held by the holding device. The projection area element is arranged at such a position in relation to the first spectacle lens that when the spectacles are held by the holding device, the position of the projection area element at least partially corresponds to the position of a pupil of the user when the user wears the spectacles on the head.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for recovering aluminum metal from aluminum dross, the process including skimming aluminum dross from a furnace containing molten aluminum into a dross processing receptacle, transporting and mounting the dross filled receptacle to a rocking device, and rocking the receptacle until aluminum pours from discharging outlets in the receptacle into a container for catching the molten aluminum which is placed underneath the rocking device.

Abstract: A wind turbine having a foundation. The foundation has a first foundation portion having a top side and a concrete foundation pedestal having a top side. The top side of the concrete foundation pedestal is annular and projects beyond the top side of the first foundation portion. The wind turbine also has a steel tower having a plurality of tower segments, wherein a lower tower segment has a flange having a plurality of through bores. The flange is placed on a top side of the concrete foundation. The wind turbine further has a plurality of clamping elements. A lower end of the clamping elements is fixed by means of a fixing unit in or under the first foundation portion. An upper end of the clamping elements projects beyond an upper end of the concrete foundation pedestal and extends through the through holes. The upper ends of the clamping elements are braced by means of fixing units. An outward side of the concrete foundation pedestal is of a conical configuration.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for recovering aluminium metal from aluminium dross, the process comprising skimming aluminium dross from a furnace containing molten aluminium into a dross processing receptacle, transporting and mounting the dross filled receptacle to a rocking device, and rocking the receptacle until aluminium pours from discharging outlets (12) in the receptacle into a container (42) for catching the molten aluminium which is placed underneath the rocking device.

Abstract: A wind turbine comprising a tower with an access door is provided. The access door has a door lock and, on its outer side, a baffle plate which extends substantially over the entire surface of the door and has a recess. A doorknob is provided in the region of the recess. An outer side of the baffle plate at least partially projects outwards beyond the door lock.

Abstract: There is provided a wind power installation comprising a pylon which has a plurality of pylon segments. Some of the pylon segments are made up from a plurality of pylon segment parts. The pylon segment parts are fixed together by way of screw connections. The wind power installation further has at least one guide cable extending at least partially along the length of the pylon. The wind power installation also has a working platform which can be fixed to the guide cable for guidance and which can be moved upwardly and downwardly by way of a travel cable. In that way the screw connections of adjacent pylon segment parts can be checked.
