  • Patent number: 9447939
    Abstract: A method for producing a vehicle headlamp lens having at least one light entry surface and at least one optically effective light exit surface wherein glass, (for example, in gob and/or liquid form) is blank-pressed between a first mold and at least one second mold to form a one-piece member comprising a first partial light conducting part and a light tunnel, which transitions into the first partial light conducting part by means of a bend. The glass is, for example, drawn into the second mold by means of an under pressure and the first partial light conducting part is at least partially over molded with transparent plastic to form a second partial light conducting part so that the first partial light conducting part and the second partial light conducting part form and/or shape a light conducting part for imaging the bend as a light-shadow line.

  • Patent number: 9421718
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an optical lens element, in particular for illuminating purposes, in particular for producing a headlight lens for a vehicle headlight, in particular for a motor vehicle headlight. A preform made of a transparent plastic, which is amorphous in particular, is molded in an injection mold using an injection molding method. The preform is removed from the injection mold, in particular before the average temperature of the preform falls below the melting temperature of the plastic and/or the flow temperature of the plastic, and the preform is subsequently pressed into the lens element, in particular the blank, using a final contour mold.

  • Patent number: 9358734
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an optical lens element, more particularly for illumination purposes, more particularly for producing a headlamp lens for a vehicle headlamp, more particularly for a motor vehicle headlamp, according to which method liquid, transparent, more particularly amorphous, synthetic material is placed into a lower mold. The synthetic material is then pressed between the lower mold and an upper mold by putting the lower mold and the upper mold together. The lower mold and the upper mold are then separated. Further liquid, transparent, more particularly amorphous, synthetic material is then added to the pressed synthetic material and the synthetic material is then pressed, more particularly precision pressed, to form the lens element.

  • Publication number: 20150292701
    Abstract: Techniques for encoded data processing which allow for continuous data processing as encoded data changes. Data is decomposed into one or more blocks with each block containing at least one data record. At least one data record within a given block is encoded with a first encoding process selected from one or more encoding processes. The first encoding process is associated with the given data block. Techniques evaluate whether or not to implement an encoding change for a given block when updating a given data record in the given block. Responsive to the evaluation, the given block is re-encoded with a second encoding process. Responsive to the re-encoding, the association of the given block is updated. A map is formed to convert the given data record encoded with the first encoding process to the second encoding process so as to preserve comparative relationships of the given data record.
