Patent number: 8734509Abstract: This invention relates to intraocular lenses. More particularly, this invention relates to intraocular lenses that have the ability to alter the light refractive power in response to changes in the tension of the ciliary muscle or ciliary body of the eye or any other accommodative forces. Lenses of this invention are generally referred to as interfacial, i.e., lens properties being defined as the interface of two liquids having different refractive indices, refractive accommodating lenses (IRAL).Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Hoya CorporationInventors: Khalid Mentak, Beda Steinacher

Patent number: 8282893Abstract: A test tape unit with a flexible carrier tape that can be wound forwardly by a tape drive is provided. The carrier tape includes a plurality of analytical test fields for the application of body fluid that are each applied in an associated tape section. Each tape section has a plurality of position markers for different functional positions that can be scanned by means of a tape sensor and can thereby be individually identified by measured quantity.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2011Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Stefan Schosnig, Wolfgang Heck, Ulrich Porsch, Robert Lorenz, Ulrich Kehr, Andree Treinzen, Beda Steinacher, Stefan Sieber, Udo Manser, Karl Miltner

Patent number: 7162966Abstract: To determine the thread supply on a lower-thread bobbin (17), holes (19) are arranged in the shape of a spiral in a flange (21) of the bobbin. Light from a light source (35), which is directed towards the flange (21), is reflected only by those holes (19), behind which there is no longer any thread, so that the light beams (36) reach the rear flange (22) and can be reflected therefrom and received by the light receiver (39).Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2006Date of Patent: January 16, 2007Assignee: itz Gegauf Aktiengesellschaft RNINA-NahmaschinenfabrikInventors: Gerard Durville, Roland Beer, Beda Steinacher, Michael Berger
