Abstract: A field unit for warning of a danger of collision between an aircraft and an obstacle, in particular a topographical ground obstacle or an obstacle formed by a mast, building or aerial cable structure, comprises a multi-part tubular mast having devices for fixing a solar panel and a radar antenna; an elongate radar antenna in an environment-protective casing, which, with an electronics unit, forms a radar system for synthesized radar detection of an aircraft in a radar coverage area; a central processing unit for identifying on the basis of information from the radar system an aircraft which is in a zone of the radar coverage area and which on the basis of radar information such as direction, distance and/or speed computes a collision danger area; and a high-intensity light system and radio transmitter system that can be activated by the central processing unit upon detection of an aircraft in a collision danger area.

Abstract: For determining the interior shape of spherical tanks for the computation of the liquid volume of the same, the following steps are performed: An arbitrary system of coordinates is established based on field measurements in the tank of a given number of station points within the sphere. From the station points a plurality of reference points in the form of markers affixed to the inner surface of the sphere are identified with reference to said system of coordinates. In the field all the reference points and the inner surface of the sphere are photographed with double coverage for later representation of stereoscopic models in a photogrammetric autograph.All reference points are later plotted on a drawing sheet in a coordinatograph to establish a horizontal great circle plane of the sphere together with a first interim center of the sphere.
