Publication number: 20130317608Abstract: An intraocular lens for providing accommodative vision to a subject includes a frame disposed about an optical axis, a first optical element, a second optical element, and a connecting element operably coupling the frame to the optical elements. The frame comprises an anterior frame element and a posterior frame element. The connecting element is configured to convert a first displacement between the frame elements in a direction that is substantially parallel to the optical axis into a second displacement between the optical elements that is substantially perpendicular to the optical axis. The second displacement may be translational and/or rotation. In some embodiments, the optical elements are two varifocal lenses.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2013Publication date: November 28, 2013Inventors: Erik Ad Hermans, Gerrit Ludolph van der Heijde, Thomas Henricus Marie Terwee

Patent number: 8121279Abstract: The discussion unit (10) for use in a conference system is disclosed, which is adapted to be connected to at least one second discussion unit (10). The discussion unit (10) comprises an essentially closed casing (410) and at least one exchangeable portion (420). The at least one exchangeable portion (420) is removably mounted to the casing (410) and at least partially covers at least one outside part (424, 412) of the casing (410). The invention allows for an easy first installation of the exchangeable portion (420). Nevertheless, after installation, the exchangeable portion (420) is difficult to remove by a user (preventing unintended removal or removal by vandalism or “play instinct”), but allowing for an easy exchange of the exchangeable portion (420) by an installer and/or a service technician.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2005Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Marc Van Loon, Gerard Boersen, Ko Van Bruinessen, Martien Kas, Ruud De Wit, Ad Hermans
