  • Publication number: 20180011308
    Abstract: An optical system for a stereo video endoscope, a stereo video endoscope and a method for operating an optical system. The optical system includes a distal optical assembly and a proximal optical assembly with a left lens system channel and a right lens system channel. The distal optical assembly couples light incident from an object space into the left lens system channel and into the right lens system channel of the proximal optical assembly. The distal optical assembly is an optical assembly with an adjustable focal length, wherein a change in the focal length causes a displacement of an axis intersection point in the object space.

  • Publication number: 20150056328
    Abstract: It relates to the manufacturing and preparation of frozen dough, and its application in microwaveable fried food. The preparation of fried fritters comprises the following steps: disposal of raw materials, dough kneading, dough proofing for the first time, dough folding, dough proofing for the second time, making blanks, frying and quick-freezing. Alum as the acidic component in leavening agents is replaced by a complex formulation of gluconic acid-?-lactone, glycerol monolaurate and calcium dihydrogen phosphate, thus reducing the toxicity of the dough. The fried fritters preparing by the dough of the present invention possess a good expansion rate, crispness and taste, and should satisfy consumer demands for quality food products that can be reheated by microwaving.
