  • Publication number: 20090243964
    Abstract: A display apparatus which comprises an image module for generating an image, a spectacle-like frame which carries the image module, and wherein the spectacle-like frame comprises a front portion with a nose support, as well as two side arms mounted to the front portion. At least one earphone is mounted to the frame via a positioning mechanism. The earphone can be positioned in front of an ear of a user by means of the positioning mechanism, when the display apparatus is mounted on the user's head. The positioning mechanism comprises a linear guide which is mounted to the frame via a hinge joint and the earphone is positioned at the end of the linear guide, turned away from the hinge joint.

  • Publication number: 20090009892
    Abstract: A arrangement serves for the adjustment of an optical element (1), in particular of a lens in an optical system, in particular in a projection lens system for semiconductor lithography. The optical element (1) is mounted in a mount (3) by means of a number of bearing feet (2) distributed over the circumference of the optical element (1) and is selectively deformable by actuators (5). At least some of the bearing feet (2) are engaged by the actuators (5) in a region of the respective bearing foot (2) in such a way that the respective bearing foot (2) can be displaced in the direction of the optical axis (7).

  • Publication number: 20080239523
    Abstract: An HMD device has an imaging optic for the right eye and an imaging optic for the left eye. Each imaging optic so images an image, which is generated in the object plane, that the image can be observed by a user in an image plane and each of the imaging optics includes an optical element (23) and a deflecting element (25) mounted downstream of the optical element (23). An image transducer (24) and the optical element (23), which follows the image transducer (24), are held by a linearly guided receptacle frame (15) moveable via a drive unit. A linear movement in the direction of an optical axis takes place. Adjusting wheels (4, 5) are mounted on respective sides of the image window for the right and left eyes. Each of the adjusting wheels (4, 5) is coupled mechanically to a corresponding cam curve. Each cam curve translates a rotational movement of the adjusting wheel (4, 5) into an output end linear movement of the receptacle frame (15).

  • Patent number: 7010831
    Abstract: A screw connection for hinge parts, especially of an eyeglass frame, comprising a screw that interconnects the hinge parts that engage one inside the other and that have an upper hinge lobe, a lower hinge lobe, and at least one middle hinge lobe, the screw having a screw head and a screw shank that extends through a first through opening in the upper hinge lobe and extends through a second through opening in the middle hinge lobe, with a thread permitting the screw shank to be screwed into the lower hinge lobe, and comprising a sleeve that surrounds the screw shank, has elastic properties, and interacts with the upper and middle hinge lobes when the screw is in a screwed-in state, whereby the diameter (D2) of the second through opening is less than or equal to the diameter (D1) of the first through opening.

  • Patent number: 5790756
    Abstract: The analog fuzzy logic controller includes a fuzzification circuit by which the position and the shape of the membership functions associated with the linguistic input variables may be adjusted in an analog manner from outside. The output signals corresponding to the fuzzy values of the fuzzification circuit are supplied to an inference circuit. The output of the inference circuit is provided with a plurality of analog multiplex circuits with which the association of a degree of membership of a fuzzy rule to one or a plurality of linguistic output variables may be influenced. The defuzzification circuit of the fuzzy controller, which receives the output signals from the inference circuit, then calculates the output signals of the fuzzy controller according to the center of gravity method.
