Publication number: 20220313422Abstract: An intraocular lens system for implantation in an eye is provided. The intraocular lens system includes a ciliary body implant having a passive ciliary signal element, the ciliary body implant being implantable in the eye such that the ciliary signal element provides a ciliary signal in response to a movement of the ciliary muscle of the eye. The intraocular lens system also includes an intraocular lens having a sensor element for receiving the ciliary signal. The ciliary body implant and the intraocular lens are formed separately from each other and the intraocular system is configured to control a refractive effect of the intraocular lens that is dependent on the ciliary signal received from the sensor element.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Jan Buchheister, Peter Klopfleisch, Lothar Müller, Ralph Semmler, Enrico Geißler

Patent number: 10832612Abstract: In a projector for projecting a multi-colored image, a control unit actuates each color channel with reference to fed-in image data such that one of the color subframes of the multi-colored image to be projected is generated. A projection optical system images the generated color subframes onto a projection surface such that the color subframes can be perceived as the multi-colored image to be projected. Each color channel is formed for the generation of a color subframe of a predetermined base color. The color location of the predetermined base color varies with the lightness to be generated. The control unit controls each color channel such that, for at least one picture point in the multi-colored image, the color location shift of the predetermined target color location caused by the color channel or the color channels is compensated for while retaining the target lightness.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Carl Zeiss Jena GmbHInventors: Christoph Nieten, Bryce Anton Moffat, Enrico Geissler, Alexander Gratzke, Axel Krause

Patent number: 10791306Abstract: The control unit of a projector drives modulators for the range of brightness of the image data with a first resolution of NN levels, wherein NN is an integer greater than one. The control unit applies a predefined brightness change to the brightness value in accordance with the image data for the image point such that a changed brightness value having a second resolution, which is greater than the first resolution, is calculated, and converts the changed brightness value into the increased brightness value such that it has the first resolution and is greater than a notional comparison value having the first resolution that arises if the predefined brightness change is applied to the brightness value in accordance with the image data, with the result that the control unit drives one of the modulators for a pixel to be boosted with the increased brightness value having the first resolution.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Carl Zeiss Jena GmbHInventors: Christoph Nieten, Enrico Geissler, Bryce Anton Moffat, Carsten Wehe

Patent number: 10349017Abstract: An illumination device includes a light source unit and a filter wheel. The filter surface of the filter wheel includes a first surface segment and a second surface segment arranged behind the first surface segment in the direction of rotation. When the filter surface is rotated, the first and second surface segments successively extend into the illumination beam path. The first surface segment transmits only a first part of the spectrum of the emitted light and the second surface segment transmits only a different second part of the emitted light. The control unit controls the light source unit and drives the filter wheel so the light with the different spectra is emitted sequentially in time for a predetermined partial illumination duration. During the partial illumination duration of the emitted light with the first spectrum, the first or second surface segment extends into the illumination beam path.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2018Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Carl Zeiss Jena GmbHInventors: Axel Krause, Enrico Geissler, Bryce Anton Moffat
