  • Patent number: 11767965
    Abstract: Optics (20) for an illumination device (1), as well as an illumination device (1) comprising such optics. The optics comprise at least one lens (30) with a light entry surface (31) and a light exit surface (32). A stepped lens structure (321), such as a Fresnel structure, is formed on the light exit surface. A recurring surface structure, such as periodically arranged prominences (311) and deepenings (321), are formed on the light entry surface (31).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2021
    Date of Patent: September 26, 2023
    Assignee: POLYCONTACT AG

  • Patent number: 10127720
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method inserting a new face in a polygonal mesh comprising receiving an input corresponding to: a polygonal mesh having a plurality of faces, a selection of a face (fm) of the plurality of faces, a direction vector (d), a modified target plane (pm), and a threshold angle ?. For each edge (e) of the selected face fm, the method further includes determining each adjacent face (fadj) to selected face fm, and inserting a new face at edge e if no adjacent face exists or if fadj is substantially parallel to pm and within threshold ?. In some embodiments, the new face has a normal orthogonal to e and d.
