Abstract: To leach the metal, crushed ore must be dumped in relatively thin layers of a height of approx. 5 m to 10 m. A conveying and stacking system, including a movable conveyor belt system, traveling tripper and stacker is used for this. The movable conveyor belt system is formed by a plurality of individual belts, the so-called grasshoppers. Provisions are made in the dumping technology for a high block for the end device in the conveying chain, the stacker with its swingable stacker boom, to always discharge an arc-shaped layer of ore, after which the device moves back by the amount of the next layer to be discharged in an arc-shaped pattern. This process is repeated until the stacker has moved back by the effective length of a grasshopper. Conveying is then stopped, one grasshopper is removed from the conveyor belt system and dumping of the ore is then continued. To enable this technology to be used, the stacker must be provided with a material pickup area, which is as long as a grasshopper.

Abstract: A submarine is equipped with an extending apparatus on whose free end a container (4) resistant to underwater pressure is arranged, in which an essentially recoil-free gun (5) lies. The container (4) in the submerged condition of the submarine may be brought to the water surface (15) by way of the extending apparatus, and pivoted out so that one may also shoot in the submerged condition.

Abstract: A wick arrangement for an anesthetic evaporator includes a wick with a carrier material (2) that is essentially impermeable to gas provided with wick material (3, 4) on both sides. A great path length is provided for saturating the gas with anesthetic vapor in the smallest possible installation volume by providing flow channels such as helical flow channels (10, 11) extending helically on both sides of the wick. The gas flow is led in counterflow in the flow channels (10, 11) by a housing (9).

Abstract: A terminal sends to a host computer CAD drawing data which contains basic specifications of products ordered by a customer. The host computer manages product catalog information including price information of products for which orders can be accepted and customer planning information in which planning information of each customer about detail specifications of products has been registered, receives the CAD drawing data sent from the terminal, extracts the basic specifications of the ordered products from the CAD drawing data, searches the product catalog information using the extracted basic specifications of the ordered products and the customer planning information, creates quotation data based on retrieved product catalog information, and sends the quotation data to the terminal.

Abstract: A towing device (1) for towing vehicles has a tow bar (8) movably mounted about at least two axes of rotation, and at least one mechanical drive (13) for moving the tow bar between an operating position and a position of rest. The drive has a mechanism (14) for generating an at least partially superimposed movement of the tow bar about both axes. The preferred features include the axes of rotation being positioned at right angles to each other. The mechanism is designed as a gear unit (21) coupling the pivot axis (16) and the axis of rotation (18). The rotational movement of the tow bar about the axis of rotation is derived from the pivoting movement of the tow bar or a housing (19).
