Abstract: A method for aligning a system for laser-based ametropia correction relative to a patient's eye to be treated is disclosed. Predefined pre-operative measurement data which characterize at least predetermined structures of the patient's eye is provided. The predetermined structures include a part of the patient's eye to be treated. In addition, the method includes measuring at least one part of the predetermined structures of the patient's eye using an OCT system immediately before and/or during treatment for ametropia correction of the patient's eye and providing OCT measurement data, and comparing the OCT measurement data and the predefined pre-operative measurement data and preparing comparative data. The method also includes ascertaining a position and/or orientation of the part of the patient's eye to be treated relative to the system and aligning the system relative to the patient's eye using the ascertained position and/or orientation of the part of the patient's eye.

Abstract: A UV-laser-based system (UVL-LVC system) for correcting the impaired vision of a patient's eye has a UV-laser source, which emits laser radiation to treat the patient's eye, and imaging optics for focusing the laser radiation onto the cornea of the patient's eye. The imaging optics allow a detection of a reflection of radiation, which is emitted onto the cornea of the patient's eye with the imaging optics and is at least partly reflected by the cornea of the patient's eye back into the imaging optics at an acceptance angle ?Max of at least 2.5°. Additionally a method for centering a UVL-LVC system is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for electrical and/or magnetic neuronal stimulation, comprising a signal generator for generating a stimulation signal, in particular an alternating-current stimulation signal, an applicator for applying the stimulation signal, in particular in an area on or directly around the optic nerve, a lead for deriving a measurement signal, in particular an EEG signal, a biomarker calculation unit for calculating a biomarker based on the measurement signal, and an optimization unit, in particular for performing a stochastic optimization process, for optimizing the value of the biomarker by varying the stimulation signal.

Abstract: A method for adjusting parameters of a calibration model in a position sensing system including a sensor for obtaining a measurement indicative of a location of an object, the method including: a) providing an initial set of model parameters for determining a relationship between a sensor measurement and a location value within a predetermined volume of location values; b) selecting a plurality of sub-segments of location values within the range of location values; c) providing for each of the selected plurality of sub-segments of location values a local set of model parameters for determining a relationship between a sensor measurement and a location value within the selected sub-segment of location values; d) obtaining a measurement from the sensor; e) determining an estimate of the location of the object from the sensor measurement and the initial set of model parameters; and f) identifying at least one of the selected sub-segments of location values related to the estimate of the location of the object.
