  • Publication number: 20240126102
    Abstract: A contact lens and a method for treating an eye with myopia is described. The contact lens includes an inner optic zone and an outer optic zone. The outer optic zone includes at least a portion with a first power, selected to correct distance vision. The inner optic zone has a relatively more positive power (and add power). In some embodiments the add power is substantially constant across the inner optic zone. In other embodiments the add power is variable across the inner optic zone. While in some embodiments the inner optic zone has a power designed to substantially eliminate lag of accommodation in the eye with myopia, in other embodiments, the add power may be higher.

  • Publication number: 20230191051
    Abstract: An arrangement and a process filter out at least one gas from a gas mixture. A filter unit (4) of the filter arrangement comprises an inlet and an outlet and is adapted to filter the gas out of the gas mixture while the gas mixture flows through the filter unit (4). The filter unit (4) takes up the gas and heats up in the process. A filter temperature sensor (46, 46.2) of the filter arrangement is adapted to measure at least once an indicator of the temperature in a first measuring area (MP, MP.2) inside the filter unit (4). Depending on the measured temperature, a message is generated and output in a form perceptible by a human being. This message includes information about the current state of the filter unit (4).

  • Publication number: 20220379938
    Abstract: A processing system for carrying out track work includes a rail vehicle having a processing device and a monitoring device for defining and monitoring a permissible working space for the rail vehicle. The processing system further includes a position measuring device for determining a position of the rail vehicle. The rail vehicle is controlled to carry out the track work by using a control device in dependence on the determined position and the defined working space. A method for carrying out track work is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20220041190
    Abstract: A device for the maintenance of an overhead line system of a track has a handling device and a displacement device. The displacement device serves to displace the handling device between a transport position and a working position. In the working position, the handling device reaches the overhead line system and is able to perform maintenance work by way of a tool. At least one sensor serves for controlling and/or monitoring the handling device. The device thus enables a simple, efficient and safe maintenance of the overhead line system.

  • Publication number: 20220042250
    Abstract: A processing system has at least one multi-axis robot for performing track work. The processing system includes an enclosure in the form of a container for receiving the at least one multi-axis robot and at least one displacement device for displacing the at least one multi-axis robot between a transport position inside the enclosure and a working position outside the enclosure. This enables track work to be carried out in a simple, flexible, safe and reliable manner.

  • Patent number: 10940874
    Abstract: A maintenance vehicle has side walls for creating a work space, delimited by the same, for working personnel situated on a track. The side walls are arranged on a vehicle frame and configured to be distanced from one another in a transverse direction of the vehicle. For treatment of a track section situated within the work space, an industrial robot is arranged on the vehicle, having at least three motion axes, media couplings for energy supply as well as a tool coupling for selective connection to a track treatment tool.
