Abstract: Simulation of a complex system involves representing the complex system in a plurality of simulation building blocks, each simulation building block is associated with a subsystem of the complex system. Each simulation building block includes at least one client-side simulation component and a server-side simulation component. During the simulation a user interaction is detected by a client-side simulation component, the complex system is simulated in server-side simulation components on the basis of the user interaction. Simulation data for the subsystem is generated by the server-side simulation components, and the subsystem is represented by the corresponding client-side components based on the simulation data.

Abstract: A device for visualizing military operations for depicting a scenario for a plurality of action subjects represents each action subject by a representative. The device for visualizing military operations has a memory unit, a first representation unit, and a computing unit. The computing unit is designed to control the first representation unit in such a way that a scenario stored in the memory unit together with the action subjects represented by the representatives are reproduced.

Abstract: A system for pasteurizing animal food, comprising a pasteurizing unit and a cooling unit designed as a heat exchanger (3 or 3?) is disclosed. The height (H) of the heat exchanger (3 or 3?) is a multiple of the maximum width (D) thereof. A pipe is provided inside the heat exchanger (3 or 3?) as a cooling serpentine (6) which extends nearly along the entire height (H) of the heat exchanger (3 or 3?).

Abstract: A process for coating the flow channels in a monolithic, cylindrically shaped catalyst carrier with a coating dispersion, wherein the carrier has two end faces which are connected to each other by flow channels arranged parallel to the axis of the cylinder, by vertically aligning the axis of the cylindrical carrier, placing a predetermined amount of coating dispersion from a storage container on the upper end face of the carrier and drawing the dispersion through the flow channels under suction, removing excess coating dispersion from the flow channels by emptying the flow channels under suction, returning the excess dispersion to the storage container and fixing the dispersion coating by calcination. The coating dispersion is drawn through the flow channels under suction at a rate of flow of 0.

Abstract: A method for producing a nitrogen oxide storage material that contains at least one storage component in the form of particles of an oxide, carbonate or hydroxide of the elements magnesium, strontium, barium, lanthanum and cerium on a carrier material from the group consisting of doped cerium oxide, cerium/zirconium mixed oxide and aluminum oxide or mixtures of these. The method is carried out by suspending the support material in an aqueous solution of precursors of the storage components, this suspension is then introduced into a hot gas stream, the temperature of which is calculated so that, during a residence time of the suspension in the hot gas stream of less than one minute, the solvent of the suspension is evaporated out and the precursors of the storage components are thermally broken down and converted to the storage components before the storage material that forms in this way is separated from the stream of hot gases.

Abstract: A process for the coating of the flow channels of a cylindrical, honeycomb form catalyst carrier with a dispersion coating through filling of the vertically oriented flow channels with a fill quantity of the coating dispersion through the bottom face of the catalyst carrier and subsequent downward emptying and clearance extraction of the flow channels, as well as drying and calcination of the catalyst carrier, by the following steps:a) filling of the flow channels with a fill quantity that is about 10% greater than the empty volume of the flow channels, so that the coating dispersion goes over the upper face of the catalyst carrier after completion of the filling cycle,b) removal of the excess coating dispersion at the top before emptying of the flow channels andc) emptying and clearance extraction of the flow channels through an extraction impulse, which is generated by connection of a vacuum tank with the bottom face of the catalyst carrier,whereby the time between the beginning of the fill cycle and the en

Abstract: A method for locating and identifying search objects concealed in the gro under a ground surface is described. Preferred search objects are plastic mines, which inter alia contain a plastic body and at least one metallic part, particularly an igniter. Firstly the position of the metallic part is established, preferably with an eddy current probe. Then a search area surrounding the part is investigated by means of a ground probe, which produces a ground signal indicating the presence of ground material. The ground signal is evaluated in position discriminating manner. Preferably the ground probe and metal probe are identical, which is e.g. made possible by an operation of the eddy current probe with at least three different frequencies and a suitable signal evaluation. Prior to the investigation of the search area the electrical conductivity and/or magnetizability of the ground can be increased by impregnating with a liquid, which can contain salt water and/or magnetizable particles.

Abstract: A method for the production of spherical granulated materials from powdered solids and the granulated materials produced by it are disclosed. The method is characterized in that the powdered solids are moistened, possibly together with the usual binders, flow agents and plasticizers for the compression of solids, by the addition of a corresponding quantity of liquid and mixing smoothly in a mixer; they are then compressed with a ring collar mill into cylindrical agglomerate and then rounded in a rounding unit with wrinkle washer. The granulated solids thus produced have a very narrow particle size distribution and are distinguished by good flowability and good dispersability, depending on process controls.

Abstract: Titanium dioxide compacts are produced by intensively mixing pyrogenically produced titanium dioxide in the presence of deionized water with a wetting agent and/or with a base and/or optionally with a binder and/or optionally with an auxiliary deformation agent and/or optionally with a pore former, extruding the mass thus obtained at pressures between 5 and 100 bars to form shaped articles, drying the shaped articles at temperatures between 50.degree. and 120.degree. C. and subsequently calcining the shaped articles in the ambient air at temperatures of 400.degree. to 700.degree. C. for 1 to 5 hours.
