  • Patent number: 10260950
    Abstract: A hand-held measurement device for appearance analyses includes a measurement array which comprises a number of illumination means for applying illumination light to a measurement field in at least three illumination directions and a number of pick-up means for capturing the measurement light in at least one observation direction. The illumination directions and the observation directions lie in a common system plane. At least one pick-up means is embodied to spectrally gauge the measurement light in a locally integral way, and at least one imaging pick-up means is embodied to gauge the measurement light in terms of color in a locally resolved way. The spectral pick-up means and the locally resolving pick-up means are arranged such that they receive the measurement light reflected by the measurement field under the same observation conditions and in particular from the same observation direction.

  • Patent number: 7110183
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to an optical symmetrization device for symmetrizing the radiation emitted by laser diodes. The symmetrization device contains a cylindrical lens system (3), a cylindrical lens array (4) and a deflection element (5). The cylindrical lens array (4) contains at least two cylindrical single lenses (4A) that are arranged adjacent to one another in fixed allocation, wherein the distance between two adjacent single lenses (4A) is smaller than the distance between two adjacent linear optical emitters (2).
