Abstract: Methods, systems, and ophthalmic devices are described for correcting a misperception of depth of a moving object. An example ophthalmic device may comprise a first lens having a first optical characteristic that increases a distance of a focal point of a first eye. The ophthalmic device may comprise a second lens having a second optical characteristic that decreases a distance of a focal point of a second eye. The second lens may have a third optical characteristic that reduces a misperception of a distance of an moving object.

Abstract: In a method for manufacturing an electric motor comprising a rotor and a stator a placeholder for a temperature sensor is inserted in the axial direction between a first coil layer and an adjacent second coil layer of a winding head such that the placeholder is situated in a gap-shaped recess extending between the first and the second coil layers, the first coil layer is then pressed onto a circumferential surface of the placeholder and onto the second coil layer and is plastically deformed such that a space between the lateral surfaces of the two coil layers and the circumferential surface of the placeholder is reduced, and a contact surface between the lateral surface of the first coil layer and the circumferential surface of the placeholder is enlarged. By removing the placeholder, a receiving chamber is subsequently formed in the winding head, into which a temperature sensor is then inserted.
