Abstract: According to the method for characterizing fancy yarn, at least one characteristic of the fancy yarn is scanned along the longitudinal direction of the fancy yarn. Values of the scanning are evaluated and the results of the evaluation are outputted. The results of the evaluation are the fancy yarn parameters such as base yarn mass, base yarn diameter, slub distance, mass increase (?M) of a slub, slub diameter increase, slub diameter, slub length (LE) and/or slub total mass. At least one result of the evaluation is outputted in the form of a graphic representation, for example as a scatter diagram. Such a graphic representation provides a clear representation of the measurement results. The occurring data is reduced and may be divided up into different categories.

On evaluation, a measurement curve is produced from the values of the scanning, and an area (A(x)) between the measurement curve and a previously determined base yarn mass is computed. A permanent increase in the course of the area (A(x)) is used as a criterion for the presence of a slub. Slubs may be differentiated from yarn imperfections in a reliable manner by way of the area (A(x)).

The evaluation includes a smoothing or idealization of the scanning values, e.g. an idealization of the webs (91, 91?) as horizontal stretches and of the slubs (92, 92?) as trapeziums. the idealized course of the curve may be subtracted from the original course of the curve in order to obtain information on the slubs on the one hand, and on the virtual base yarn on the other hand. The occurring data quantity may be reduced by specifying parameters of the idealized course of the curve.

Abstract: A series of progressive ophthalmic lenses, each having a varying surface power in a distance part and/or a varying increase in surface power from a distance part to a near part, includes a front surface having a continuously varying surface power and an eye-facing surface, principal sections of which have varying powers and at least one of which deviates from a circular form. The lenses have astigmatic power and are distinguished by a deviation (dz) between an apex circle and a sagitta of each principal section, as given by the equation:dz=a.sub.j *r.sup.2 +b.sub.j *r.sup.4with coefficients.vertline.a.sub.j .vertline..ltoreq.2*10.sup.-4 mm.sup.-1.vertline.b.sub.j .vertline..ltoreq.1*10.sup.-6 mm.sup.-3and where coefficients a.sub.j2 and b.sub.j2 are yielded by the following functionals:a.sub.j =f.sub.j1 (sph,zyl)=a.sub.j1 (sph)+b.sub.j1 (sph)*zylb.sub.j =f.sub.j2 (sph,zyl)=a.sub.j2 (sph)+b.sub.j2 (sph)*zylwith coefficients a.sub.j2 and b.sub.j2 being a function of a second order.

Abstract: The present description refers to a series of progressive lenses, wherein the lenses present a different surface power in the distance-vision part and/or a different increase of the surface power from the distance-vision part towards the near-vision part (termed addition Add hereinafter), and whereof eachcomprises a front surface having a continuously varying surface power which increases from the respective value BK ?dpt!, which is suitable for distance vision, at the point having the coordinates x=0 mm, y=8 mm in the lower region of the distance-vision part along a wound line (primary line), which coincides approximately with the primary line of view, with eyes dropped, towards a value suitable for near vision in the upper region of the near-vision part, which value is greater than the value of the surface power BK in the lower region of the distance-vision part by the value ADD ?dpt! of the addition, andhaving a surface, in particular the surface on the concave side, which has a spherical shape or an asphe
