Publication number: 20250028161Abstract: Examples relate to a microscope system, such as a surgical microscope system, and to a corresponding system, method and computer program for a microscope system. The system comprises one or more processors and one or more storage devices. The system is configured to obtain imaging sensor data from at least one optical imaging sensor of a microscope of the microscope system. The system is configured to generate a plurality of different preview images based on the imaging sensor data. The plurality of different preview images are continuously updated. The system is configured to obtain a control input signal from an input device of the microscope system. The system is configured to generate a display signal for a display device of the microscope system. The display signal comprises a user interface showing two or more preview images of the plurality of different preview images with a smaller size and a further image with a larger size.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2022Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventor: Jochen SCHWEIZER

Publication number: 20240238065Abstract: A timer for a surgical imaging device is disclosed. The timer determines a working time of an imaging agent and outputs an indicator for display based on the working time. The working time can be a start time at which a signal from the agent is observable at an imaging site and/or an end time at which the agent is cleared.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2022Publication date: July 18, 2024Inventors: Jochen SCHWEIZER, Hakim EL HADDOUCHI, Milos SORMAZ

Patent number: 11215807Abstract: A microscope, including an x motor, a y motor, and a z axis focusing driving mechanism that drive a stage to move; at least one knob operatively coupled to the x motor or y motor or the z axis focusing driving mechanism selectively via a controller; and at least one button coupled to the controller in communication. The controller is configured to disconnect a normal operative coupling between the knob and the z axis focusing driving mechanism and establish an operative coupling between the knob and the x motor or y motor when receiving a predetermined button signal, and restore the normal operative coupling between the knob and the z axis focusing driving mechanism and disconnect the operative coupling between the knob and the x motor or y motor when no longer receiving the predetermined button signal or when receiving a next button signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2018Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: CARL ZEISS MICROSCOPY GMBHInventors: Zhongyu Li, Lei Cai, Tian Xia, Jochen Schweizer, Ralph Aschenbach, Guang Mei Wu, Ronghua Song

Patent number: 10083516Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatically segmenting a color image composed of pixels having been captured for example using a digital microscope. The method provides for a color to be selected representing a region to be segmented of the color image. The colors assigned to the pixels and the color selected are in accordance with a first color model. A clearance for each of the pixels is determined representing a distance between the selected color and the color of the corresponding pixel. The colors assigned to the pixels and the color selected are in accordance with a perception-oriented second color model. One of the pixels is assigned to the segmented region when the clearance assigned to the corresponding pixel is below a settable threshold value and when the hue assigned to the corresponding pixel is within a settable interval around the hue assigned to the selected color.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: CARL ZEISS MICROSCOPY GMBHInventors: Joshua Sujit Rajan Y, Utpal Sarkar, Jochen Schweizer, Markus Gnauck

Patent number: 7810329Abstract: The invention relates to an internal combustion engine, especially of a motor vehicle, which comprises an air path for intake air in which a mechanically driven charge unit (20), especially a compressor, which can be connected and disconnected by means of a coupling (36), an exhaust gas turbocharger (18), an intake pipe (32), connected to air inlets of a cylinder block (10) of the internal combustion engine, and a charge cooler (34) are mounted. One pressure outlet (35) of the mechanically driven charge unit (20 is directly connected to the intake pipe (32) and one pressure outlet (24) of the exhaust gas charger (18) is connected to an intake inlet (28) of the mechanically driven charge unit (20). The pressure outlet (24) of the exhaust gas charger (18) is connected to the intake inlet (28) of the mechanically driven charge unit (20) via an on-off butterfly valve (26) and upstream of said on-off butterfly valve (26) to the intake pipe (32) via a load butterfly valve (30).Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2005Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Volkswagen AGInventors: Florian Noodt, Marc-Jochen Schweizer, Manfred Kloft

Publication number: 20010036867Abstract: Leisure equipment is disclosed which permits an experience of fully controlled loop-the-loop rotary motion with a wheeled vehicle. The leisure equipment comprises a frame structure with a trough-shaped wheel track, an axis of rotation and at least one rotating arm with one wheeled vehicle each. The trough-shaped wheel track is curved so as to form a closed contour. The axis of rotation is contained within this contour. At least one rotating arm is rotatably supported on this axis of rotation. At the rotating arm a wheeled vehicle is fastened which is adapted to be guided in the wheel track. The wheeled vehicle is pressed into the wheel track by a pressing device acting on the rotating arm. In this way a contact of wheel track and wheeled vehicle exists in every point of the wheel track. With the wheeled vehicle of the leisure equipment, a rider can perform loop-the-loop rotary motions or revolutions during which he retains full command of the motion at all times.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2001Publication date: November 1, 2001Inventor: Jochen Schweizer
