  • Publication number: 20230379589
    Abstract: Image exposure in an ophthalmic microscope device is controlled by first recording a camera image with the camera of the microscope using first exposure parameters. Edge detection, e.g., based on convolution using a discrete differential operator, is then used to identify regions where the image has high and low edge densities. A brightness parameter of the camera image is calculated by weighing the pixel brightness in the regions with increased edge density more strongly than in the other regions. The brightness parameter is then used to control the exposure parameters of the microscope.

  • Patent number: 7963700
    Abstract: A sealing device for an antifriction bearing includes a fixed support and a rotating support, the sealing device comprising a metal frame designed to be associated with a support of the bearing and a sealing joint, the frame including an annular seat and, secured to the seat, electronic identifying means consisting of a transponder connected on a communication antenna, wherein the antenna has an at least semi-annular or annular shape which is designed to be urged opposite the seat, the identifying means being secured to the seat via an insulating material layer which is interposed between the antenna and the seat so as to provide electromagnetic insulation for the antenna.

  • Publication number: 20080231250
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for supplying power to an independent active component and to assembly comprising a rolling bearing and an independent electronic system (8) comprising at least one active component, wherein said assembly comprises at least one area displaying the variations of at least one state during the bearing rotation. Said assembly is characterised in that said area is provided with a substrate (9) comprising means (10) for converting said variations into electric signal, the electronic system is mounted on the substrate (9) together with the active component electrically communicating with the conversion means (10) by means of a signal operating device which is integrated into the system and is used for converting the electric signal into current required for electrically feeding said active component.
