  • Patent number: 11974719
    Abstract: In summary, to simplify operation of a medical image acquisition system, it is proposed that the image acquisition system continuously monitors a current image acquisition situation and assigns at least one new function to at least one, preferably manual, operating element, which is adapted to a detected new image acquisition situation, in response to a change in the image acquisition situation, to the extent that said newly assigned function is adjustable and/or operable with the at least one operating element. To this end, the image acquisition system can detect the change in the image acquisition situation using predefined parameters by means of sensors and/or through communication with peripheral units and/or preferably through image analysis of an image sequence which is recorded with an image sensor of the image acquisition system.

  • Patent number: 6346981
    Abstract: A lens testing device comprises a holder, fitted on a stand, for mounting a lens specimen, a test object illuminated from the rear, an imaging objective and a detector for evaluating the image of the test object. The imaging objective can be combined with the detector to form a unit. The lens specimen is an objective specimen and the test object is arranged in the focal plane of the objective specimen inside the holder. The imaging objective is a collimator objective and the detector is arranged in the focal plane of the collimator objective. Either the holder or the unit is pivotably supported on the stand and the holder and the unit can be pivoted relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 4738512
    Abstract: The clearance-free fit for cylindrical mountings, in particular photographic lenses, is produced by recesses in the inner wall of a main mounting and projections in the outer wall of an individual mounting, to be fastened in the main mounting by inserting and by a relative rotary movement between the two mountings. The recesses and the projections are of such a configuration that a sufficiently large clearance s is present when the individual mounting is inserted, and this clearance is removed by turning to produce a frictional connection.
