Patent number: 9579014Abstract: The otoscope comprises a head portion (11) including a through-hole (24) extending continuously from a proximal end to a distal end along a viewing path and a speculum receptacle (14) tapering towards the distal end and surrounding the through-hole (24), wherein a speculum (50) is attachable to the speculum receptacle (14). Lens means (26) including at least one lens (36) is configured to be movable from a viewing position, in which the lens (36) is arranged in the viewing path, to a clearance position, in which the lens (36) is arranged outside the viewing path. In the viewing position of the lens means (26) the lens (36) is arranged inside the through-hole (24) far enough for the distance between the lens (36) and the distal end (52) of an attached speculum (50) to be smaller than the focal length (F) of the lens (36).Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2014Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Heine Optotechnik GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Christoph Eder, Oliver Heine, Roman Raab

Patent number: 9427188Abstract: The spacer attachment for a dermatoscope comprises an outer sleeve (12) including an attachment end configured for releasable attachment to the illumination head of a dermatoscope and a contact end intended to be placed on the skin of a patient at an examination location. A filter insert (30) is releasably attached in the outer sleeve (12) by rotation about the central axis of the outer sleeve (12), wherein the filter insert (30) includes a viewing plate (52) intersected perpendicularly by the central axis of the outer sleeve (12). The filter insert (30) is releasably attached to the outer sleeve (12) by a rotation snap device comprising at least one resilient snap hook (44) which is arranged at the outer circumference of the filter insert (30) and resiliently engages around a projection (26) provided at the inner wall of the outer sleeve (12).Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Heine Optotechnik GmbH & Co KGInventors: Oliver Heine, Wolfgang Behrendt, Roman Raab

Patent number: 8538125Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for automatic application and monitoring of a structure to be applied onto substrate. A plurality of cameras positioned around an application facility are utilized to monitor the automatic application of a structure on a substrate by means of a stereometry procedure. Three-dimensional recognition of a reference contour position results in the overlapping area to be used for gross adjustment of the application facility prior to applying the structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2004Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Quiss GmbHInventors: Jan Anders Linnenkohl, Andreas Tomtschko, Mirko Berger, Roman Raab

Patent number: 8137738Abstract: Disclosed is a method or device for recognizing a structure, preferably a bead or trace of adhesive material (20), which is to be applied to a substrate (30), with the aid of at least two cameras, more particularly three or more cameras (12, 13, 14). The structure, which is to be applied, is applied to the substrate using an applicator device (11), whereupon the structure, which is applied to the substrate by means of the applicator device, is monitored by the cameras in such a way that the cameras are oriented towards the applied structure with at least one overlapping area, wherein the applied structure, particularly the edges of the trace of adhesive, is determined on a revolving orbit around the applicator device and the revolving orbit is pre-defined in such a way that the applied structure intersects the revolving orbit after it has been applied to the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2004Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Quiss GmbHInventors: Jan Anders Linnenkohl, Andreas Tomtschko, Mirko Berger, Roman Raab
