Abstract: A wind turbine is described which includes a support structure, a rotor which includes one or multiple rotor blades and which is situated on the support structure so that the rotor is freely rotatable about a rotation axis, and a generator which is connected to the rotor and which converts the wind energy into electrical energy when the rotor is rotating. The support structure includes a stationary ring on which the rotor is rotatably guided and on which the stator of the generator is situated.

Abstract: The invention relates to foldable spectacles (11) with a first folding mechanism (19) between two spectacle lenses (13), a second folding mechanism (21) between each of the two lenses (13) and a left or right side piece (17), whereby the foldable spectacles (11) can be folded into an M-shape, and a third folding mechanism (23) between the side piece (17) and at least one flap (25,27), which can be rotated on an axis aligned along the side piece (17), and together with the side piece (17) forms a protective housing, wherein the first, second and third folding mechanisms (19, 21, 23) each have a first and a second end position. The second folding mechanism (21) and the third folding mechanism (23) are linked to each other by means of an adjustment mechanism (31), so that a rotation of the side piece (17) effects a rotation of the at least one flap (25, 27).

Abstract: An electrical plug/socket adaptor for establishing an electrical connection between a electrical plug and an electrical socket, said adaptor comprising a housing with at least one electrical plug receiving zone to receive an electrical plug of a kind selected from at least one of a Euro pin electrical plug, British pin electrical plug, North America pin electrical plug, and Australia pin electrical plug, the adaptor configurable to itself be capable of being operatively plugged into an electrical socket of a kind selected from at least two of a Euro pin electrical socket, British pin electrical socket, North America pin electrical socket, and Australia pin electrical socket.

Abstract: With a method for manufacture of a ready-to-drink beverage by way of extraction of a solid-matter aroma carrier (19) by way of water, the aroma carrier (19) required for an individual consumption quantity is successively moved through an extraction region (25), a part quantity of the aroma carrier (19) present in the extraction region (25) is permeated with water, wherein the water absorbs aroma substances from the aroma carrier (19), and subsequently the aroma carrier (19) is separated from the extract (49). The method is characterized in that the aroma carrier (19) is forcibly conveyed with a conveyor device (21,43,53,55) along a conveyor route from A to B through the extraction region (25). A device for the forced conveying of the aroma carrier (19) for example has a conveyor worm, two conveyor belts running parallel to one another, or a conveyor wheel. The conveyor wheel and the conveyor belts, as the case may be, are provided with separating walls which divide a conveyor path into chambers.
