Abstract: An ophthalmic examination apparatus comprises an alignment light generator, which directs beams of light from separate locations toward an image of an aperture stop of an imaging unit of the ophthalmic examination apparatus, and causes an envelope of the beams of light to converge to and diverge from a waist, which is within an alignment range of the ophthalmic examination apparatus. An eye is at an examination location with respect to the imaging unit when the waist of the envelope is located at least partly inside a pupil of the eye. The examination location of the ophthalmic examination apparatus is within the alignment range. The imaging unit receives reflections of the beams of light from a cornea of the eye within the alignment range, the eye being similar to a standard eye within standard tolerances.

Abstract: A focus measuring arrangement for ophthalmic examination comprises an infrared light source system, which directs infrared light to a pupil of an eye of a person and forms a focusing pattern of the infrared light on a retina. A receiving arrangement apertures receives the infrared light of the focusing pattern from the retina through separate areas of the pupil. An image forming arrangement causes the infrared light passed through the apertures to form an individual image of the focusing pattern for each of the apertures in an image space of the receiving arrangement, the image forming arrangement causing an optical correspondence between the at least two apertures and the separate areas of the pupil. A detecting surface arrangement is located at a non-zero distance behind the at least two apertures and the image forming arrangement in a direction of propagation of the infrared light reflected from the retina for receiving the infrared light passed through the at least two apertures.

Abstract: An ophthalmic examination apparatus, characterized in that the ophthalmic examination apparatus comprises at least one visual radiation source and a light manipulation arrangement, which is configured to receive light from the visible radiation source, and form light patterns from the light and direct at least one light pattern of the light patterns in a converging manner toward an pupil aperture in a pupil plane of the ophthalmic examination apparatus and locate the at least one light pattern at a non-zero radial distance from a pupil center of the pupil aperture such that a waist of the light patterns is located at the pupil plane in order to provide a person with guidance for enabling an aperture of an iris of his/her eye to approach and/or locate at the pupil aperture in the pupil plane.

Abstract: An ophthalmic apparatus comprises an optical radiation source, which direct rays of optical radiation in a converging manner toward a reference plane, and causes the projections of the rays of optical radiation on a plane parallel to the normal of the reference plane to cross each other at a plane parallel to the reference plane and located deterministically with respect to the reference plane, the crossing forming an alignment pattern of optical radiation on said reference plane. The ophthalmic apparatus, when directed toward the eye, captures images in a direction toward the reference plane including an area, where rays of optical radiation cross, and presents information on a pattern formed by the rays of optical radiation on a surface of a person or mammal whose eye the ophthalmic apparatus is directed toward. The alignment pattern of optical radiation when projected on an iris of the eye indicates that the iris of the eye is at the reference plane.

Abstract: A layered material includes a first carrier material and a second carrier material. The first carrier material is coated or saturated with a modified bitumen. The modified bitumen is a bitumen to which is added an agent selected from a wax, a silicone oil, stearic acid, alkene ketene dimer (AKD), alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA), and mixtures thereof. The first carrier material is continuously attached to the second carrier material.

Abstract: A hand-held examination device for imaging the eye (106) comprises a user interface (108), infrared source (150) and visible light source (152). The infrared source (150) illuminates the eye (106) with infrared radiation, the examination device forms an image of the eye (106) while illuminated by infrared radiation, and the display shows the eye (106) illuminated by infrared radiation. The user interface (108) receives from the user a signal for generating an image. The visible light source (152) is switched on in a predefined manner in response to the received user signal for generating the image. The examination device generates at least one image of the eye (106) by using visible light in response to the received user signal for generating the image.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of making surface-sized paper/board. The web to be treated in the method is after surface sizing passed to a treatment process for providing a desired drying shrinkage and/or increase of drying stresses to create thereby a desired effect on the flexural strength and/or bulk of paper/board.

Abstract: An optical system comprises at least a source module comprising a non-uniform extended source (e.g., RGB-LED), an optical engine, and at least one of a lightpipe and a lenslet array arrangement. The optical engine is by example detailed at co-owned WO 2008/017718, and has a first toroidal ray guide and a second ray guide defining a common axis of revolution and having complementary imaging surfaces and pupils. For the case in which the system includes the lightpipe, such a lightpipe is disposed between the source module and the optical engine. For the case in which the system includes the lenslet array arrangement, the optical engine is disposed between the source module and the lenslet array arrangement. At least one ray guiding component, also detailed at WO 2008/017718, can be an alternative to the above optical engine. The lenslet array arrangement may include first and second lenslet arrays having corresponding lenslets.

Abstract: A processing device and method applying the same for processing a coated or uncoated fibrous web is provided. The device comprises a belt configured to extend around a guiding element, at least one counter-element being disposed outside said belt to provide a contact area with the belt, such that the belt and the counter-element establish therebetween a web processing zone for passing a web to be processed therethrough. The processing zone length is defined by the disposition of the belt's guiding element and/or by the configuration of the counter-elements. The contact pressure applied to a web in the processing zone is within the range of between about 0.01 MPa and about 200 MPa.

Abstract: An applicator device (1) applies surface size to at least one side of a web (W). A pressure effect is applied to the web (W) by subjecting the web (W) to an underpressure and/or to an overpressure such that surface size is forced to penetrate into the pores of the web. Most advantageously, an underpressure is created that sucks applied surface size from the surface of the web (W) into the pores in the inner layers. Surface size is applied to a web first side (W1) and a vacuum effect is applied to the web's opposite side (W2) to cause air to flow through the web (W) such that surface size moves from the first side (W1) in the direction of the second side (W2) into the web (W). Correspondingly, both sides of the web (W) can be treated in successive stages.
