  • Publication number: 20250067999
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a spectacle lens having a substrate and a functional coating arranged as the outermost layer on the substrate, wherein the functional coating imparts to the spectacle lens a haptic smoothness coefficient HGK of at most 0.28, preferentially at most 0.25, and/or a haptic smoothness coefficient R_HGK of at most 0.85, preferentially at most 0.80. The present invention furthermore relates to a measurement method for determining the smoothness of a spectacle lens, which is expressed by the haptic smoothness coefficient HGK and/or the haptic smoothness coefficient R_HGK, as well as to a method for producing the spectacle lens.

  • Patent number: 5387734
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the decomposition of polyhalogenated aliphatic compounds having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, polyhalogenated cycloalkyl compounds having 5 to 8 carbon atoms and polyhalogenated aromatic compounds having at least 5 carbon atoms. A contaminated substrate or the polychlorinated compounds per se are heated with a suitable catalyst to 150.degree. to 550.degree. C. The process according to the invention is especially suitable for the decomposition of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans in soils, scrap loads and waste gases and for decontaminating filter dust from refuse and waste incineration plants.

  • Patent number: 5210494
    Abstract: A sample head (50) for nuclear magnetic resonance whole-body tomography or localized in-vivo nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy comprises an RF coil (51) having a plurality of inductive sections in the form of metallic strips (53 to 60) and capacitive sections in the form of gaps (61 to 68) arranged alternately one behind the other in the direction of the RF current (I.sub.1), so that the field lines (72) of the magnetic RF field (H.sub.1) generated by the RF coil (51) extend in parallel to an axis (74) defined by the RF coil (51). The RF coil (51) forms a single unit with an outer jacket (52). The number of inductive and capacitive sections is such as to be just below that limit value above which the distribution of the field lines (71) of the electric RF field (E.sub.1) produced by the said RF coil (51) changes from a first distribution (75), where there is a plane (76) between each inductive section (55) and the said axis (74) in which the strength of the electric RF field (E.sub.

  • Patent number: 4791392
    Abstract: A resonance system for ESR spectroscopy has a resonance cavity (23) which connected by axial slots (25) with chambers (24) coaxial to the resonance cavity (23). The resonance cavity (23) and the chambers (24) are located within a metallic screen (21). The wall sections (26) of the resonance cavity (23), separated by the axial slots (25), form the inductances of the resonance circuit, whereas the wall sections of the axial slots (25), located opposite one another, form the capacitances. The entire resonance system, including the screen, is made of metal and is, therefore, suitable for use at extremely low temperatures.
