Abstract: A method for calculating the surfaces of optical lenses including the steps of: providing a desired light distribution to be generated with light passing through the lens; deforming a first surface of the lens to generate light source images of different sizes; deforming a second surface of the lens to displace the light source images such that they lie at their highest point directly at or on a light/dark border in a resulting light distribution; determining a quality of the resulting light distribution by a comparison with the predefined light distribution; if the quality lies above a predefined limit value, storing the calculated surfaces for the lens; otherwise, renewed deformation of the first surface; renewed deformation of the second surface; repeating the previous two steps until the quality of the resulting light distribution lies above the limit value; and storing the calculated surfaces for the lens.

Abstract: The invention concerns a light module with a light source, a primary optical system and a reflector. The primary optical system contains a lens element that is embodied as a sector of an imaginary rotation body formed by the rotation of an imaginary rotation base surface around a rotation axis, wherein the rotation base surface is designed such that the lens element contains a light entry surface that faces the rotation axis and that surrounds the rotation axis and a light emitting surface that is located radially exterior to the rotation axis, wherein the reflector has at least one reflector zone that is embodied as a segment of the surface of a rotation symmetric imaginary associated circular cone, and wherein the axis of symmetry of the circular cone extends parallel to the rotation axis of the lens element.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp comprises a housing with at least one mirrored mirror surface arranged in the housing and a light source that can be arranged in the housing. It is possible to radiate light emitted from the light source under operating conditions in a main beam direction. At least one deflection body is arranged in the mirrored mirror surface such that light impinging the deflection body can be reflected and/or deflected from the deflection body in a secondary beam direction that cannot directly be illuminated by the light source. The deflection body is adjusted to a three-dimensional surface of the mirrored mirror surface such that the three-dimensional surface is maintained at least in sections such that light can be deflected in the main beam direction and secondary beam direction through the deflection body.

Abstract: An optical fiber for a lighting device comprises: a coupling section that exhibits at least one coupling surface for coupling of light in the optical fiber; a fiber-optics section that extends along a main fiber-optics line that is limited by at least one main fiber-optics surface extending along the main fiber-optics line and such that the light can be conducted along the main fiber-optics line, starting from the coupling section, by internal total reflection at the main fiber-optics surface; and a plurality of decoupling components. Each decoupling component is disposed on the main fiber-optics surface such that light from the optical fiber can be fully decoupled by a respective light-emitting surface of the optical fiber assigned thereto. The decoupling components on the main fiber-optics surface are disposed such that they are offset along the main fiber-optics line. A fiber-optics device comprises first and second ones of the optical fiber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lens arrangement (7) for a motor vehicle headlight (7) or a motor vehicle light having at least one light source (5.1, 5.2, 5.3) that in the switched-on state emits light, the lens arrangement (7) including a plurality of individual lenses (7.1, 7.2, 7.3) that are arranged in the beam path of the light. In order to be able to manufacture and assemble the lens arrangement (7) as simply and as cost-effectively as possible, and so that the lens arrangement has the most reserved appearance possible, the present invention proposes that a light-emitting surface (7.4) of the lens arrangement (7) have a constant curvature. Advantageously, the curvature of the light-emitting surface (7.4) has no points of inflection. A light-receiving surface (7.5) of the lens arrangement (7) is advantageously configured such that, in combination with the light-emitting surface (7.4), specifiable projection characteristics of the individual lenses (7.1, 7.2, 7.3) result.

Abstract: Process for generating a multidimensional offset surface with a predeterminable distance (d) from a starting surface (10, 20) of the same dimensions, wherein in order to generate a point on the offset surface (10″) (offset point) an approximation normal (ND) is determined, which stands perpendicular to an approximation surface the position and course of which correspond approximately to the position and course of the starting surface (10, 20), the approximation normal (ND) forming a point of intersection (S3) with the starting surface (10, 20) which forms the point of the starting surface (10, 20) relative to which the associated offset point is to be generated, and the offset point is generated along the direction of the approximation normal (ND) starting from the point of intersection (S3) at a distance corresponding to the given offset distance (d), while a plurality of offset points obtained in this way serve to form the offset surface (10″).

Abstract: In a computer aided design system, a geometric object is defined as a function, preferably a B-Spline, of a piecewise polynomial function. In order to make a local modification of said geometric object, a point of origin (P) is picked. A second point (P') is defined as a target point through which the modified function should pass. The move from the point of origin (P) to the target point (P') is transformed into a move, preferably a parallel shift, of the control points of the associated control polygons.
