  • Patent number: 9988695
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an agglomerate, which is used as a blast furnace feed material, by mixing a fine material containing metal and/or metal oxide, a mineral binder, which comprises a mineral raw material and a lime-based material, and optionally other additives to form a mass and solidifying the mass to form an agglomerate, wherein a raw material comprising a silicon oxide fraction of at least 40 wt %, a fine grain fraction of less than 4 ?m of at least 20 wt %, and a grain size fraction of less than 1 ?m of at least 10 wt % is used as the mineral raw material. The invention further relates to a blast furnace feed material that can be produced by means of the method according to the invention, and to a pre-mixture for producing the blast furnace feed material.

  • Patent number: 8403483
    Abstract: An implantable system for determining the accommodation requirement in an artificial accommodation system by optical measurement of the pupil diameter and the surrounding luminance, including at least one optical system, at least one data acquisition system that does not contact the ciliary muscle and measures a diameter of the pupil and luminance around at least one eye as a physical control signal for the accommodation requirement, at least one data processing system for generating an actuating signal for the optical system from the detected physical control signals or for the purpose of switching to the standby mode, at least one energy supply system, and at least one fixing system. The system has one sensor or a plurality of sensors with sensor elements for measuring the pupil diameter and the surrounding luminance.
