Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for determining a direction at a position (211), the method (100) comprises obtaining (110) an orthorectified photo (210) of a region of Earth's surface comprising the position (211), and a coordinate system for the orthorectified photo (210); identifying (120) the position (211) in the orthorectified photo (210); identifying (130) a reference object (212) in the orthorectified photo (210); determining (140) a reference direction (215) between the position (211) and the identified reference object (212); capturing (150) at least one digital photo (220; 230) at the position (211) with a calibrated digital camera (331), wherein at least one of the at least one captured digital photo (220) depicts the reference object (222); and determining (190) the direction based on the at least one captured digital photo (220; 230) and the determined reference direction (215), wherein the determined direction is based on at least one pixel coordinate corresponding to the depicted re

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a polyolefin composition which has flame retardant and/or fire resistant properties and is suitable as flame retardant and/or fire resistant layer of a wire or cable. The polyolefin composition of the present invention comprises an polyolefin homo- or copolymer, a metal hydroxide in an amount of 30 to 60 wt % based on the weight of the polyolefin composition, and a borate in an amount of 5 to 25 wt %, based on the weight of the polyolefin composition. The present invention is further directed to a wire or cable comprising one or more layers, wherein at least one layer thereof is obtained from the polyolefin composition of the present invention. Finally, the present invention is further directed to the use of a polyolefin composition of the present invention as a flame retardant layer of a wire or cable.
