  • Patent number: 7543939
    Abstract: The invention relates to an illumination system comprising at least one beam path with means for simultaneously illuminating the test object within at least one reference wavelength range and at least one data wavelength range, each of which is coordinated with one respective color channel of an imaging recording system. The at least one data wavelength range is used for detecting a medically relevant piece of information while the at least one reference wavelength range is at least nearly invariant in relation to said medically relevant piece of information. The inventive method combines the image values of evaluation windows or individual pixels of simultaneously recorded images into secondary images and image sequences while generating location-resolved dynamic characteristic values which are combined into function images.

  • Patent number: 6570307
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical radiator, especially for ultraviolet or infrared radiation, with a lamp bulb socketed without cement on one end, from which at least two connecting wires are brought through pinches, one at the top and the other at the bottom of the lamp bulb, the first connecting wire being affixed at the upper end of the lamp bulb to a stiff support bow, and the lower end of the stiff support bow being brought as a terminal pin through a first bore in a lamp base and is fastened to the latter by an anti-extraction lock. The invention is addressed to the problem of offering an optical radiator which can be made quickly and at low cost from a minimal number of parts. The problem is solved in that the second connecting wire at the bottom end of the lamp bulb is carried loosely through a second bore in the lamp base.

  • Patent number: 6547513
    Abstract: In a stack changing device, on a sheet feeder the remaining stack bars (7A, 7B) are pulled from the stack area, out-of-line in relation to each other. For improved stack joining, the inner remaining stack bars (7A, 7B) are each pulled more slowly than the outer remaining stack bars (7A, 7B).

  • Patent number: 6309236
    Abstract: A reflector lamp unit with a bilaterally based discharge lamp is provided wherein at least one terminal post of the lamp has, in the area of at least one predetermined coding site as viewed in a plug-in direction, a tapered portion which, as viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the bulb, has a specified tapered length and which, as viewed in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis, has a specified lateral residual width. The unit has at least one mounting element which is closed off with a coding element which has, in the area of the coding site, a coding slot open in the plug-in direction and running in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the bulb, which corresponds to the tapered portion of the terminal post such that the slot length is shorter than the length of the tapered portion, and the slot has a minimal slot width which is adjusted so as to have a value between the lateral pin width and the residual width.

  • Patent number: 6286826
    Abstract: In a non-stop stack changing device, remaining-stack bars are pulled from the stack area one by one and out-of-line in relation to each other. To this end, a pull/push drive is provided, which makes it possible to push the remaining-stack bars simultaneously into the grooves of a pallet carrying a sheet stack. Furthermore, the pull/push drive makes it possible to pull the remaining-stack bars in pairs from inside outwards out of the stack area. In addition, the remaining-stack bars can be pulled in a first and second sequence in accordance with this model. An individual motor drive is provided for this purpose, which operates interlockingly on each individual remaining-stack bar.

  • Patent number: 6107738
    Abstract: An optical emitter is provided, in particular for ultraviolet or infrared radiation, with a lamp bulb (1) from which extend at least two connecting wires (4, 5) for electrical connection, in each case through a stem press (2, 3) at the upper end and the lower end of the lamp bulb (1). The first connecting wire (4) is electrically connected with a first contact pin (15) via a flexurally rigid holding bracket (6), and the second connecting wire (5) is electrically connected with a second contact pin (16) via a metallic contact element (7). The contact pins (15, 16) each extend out from a bore of a ceramic base (10). To provide an improved optical emitter which can be manufactured with lower expenditures of time and cost, the holding bracket (6) and the first connecting pin (15) are designed in one piece and the first contact pin (15) is provided with an anti-slip safety on both sides of the first bore in the base (10).
