  • Patent number: 10695220
    Abstract: An ophthalmological laser treatment system comprising a laser source (2) for producing laser radiation, a light projector (3) for focusing the laser radiation onto a focus (F) and a scanner system (5) for moving the focus (F) along a work line (p) comprises a monitoring system (6), which comprises a light detector (60) and is configured to monitor, by way of a light path (r), a monitored region (m) moving together with the focus (F). The monitoring system (6) is configured to monitor a monitored region (m), which moves together with the focus (F) with a fixed geometric assignment to the focus (F) and is for example disposed upstream of the focus (F) in the work direction and not yet worked on by laser radiation.

  • Patent number: 7564006
    Abstract: An apparatus (1) for generating a rotating laser beam (5) which may used for various applications including welding, cutting, drilling or ablation of materials. More particularly, the apparatus is able to produce a fast rotating and accurate laser beam, because the main optical device (100) that is rotated consists of a reflecting surface (102) rotating about an axis (X1) that it intersects.

  • Patent number: 7399946
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus (1) for generating a rotating laser beam (5) which may used for various applications including welding, cutting, drilling or ablation of materials. More particularly, the apparatus (1) according to the present invention is able to produce a fast rotating and accurate laser beam, because the main optical device (100) that is rotated consists of a first reflecting surface (102) rotating about an axis (X1), a second reflecting surface (26) having an annular shape, wherein the first reflecting surface (102) redirects said laser beam in to the direction of the second reflecting surface (26), which reflects said laser beam towards said axis (X1).

  • Patent number: 6108597
    Abstract: The autonomous mobile robot system is provided with a sensor-based and map-based navigation system for navigating in a pipe network. The navigation is based on the classification of pre-existing natural landmarks. The navigation system can compensate for inaccurate robot system's motion control, sensor information, and landmark classification.
