Dear Bernhard,
I did some google searching and found
http://www.realtimerendering.com/int/
which gives references to various texts for all kinds
of intersections.

Dear All -
if memory serves me right, the intersection curve of
a cone with a cylinder (like in a powder diffraction camera) is
not an ellipse, but a "Schnittfigur zweiter Ordnung",
loosly translated as 'intersection curve of second order'.
Is there a correct English term for that type of curve?
Thx, br
