Patent number: 12226348Abstract: The disclosure provides a system that may: receive data associated with multiple locations associated with a cornea of an eye; adjust at least one lens, based at least on diameter information of the data associated with at least one of the multiple locations, to set a diameter of a laser beam; and for each location of the multiple locations: determine if the eye has changed from a first position to a second position; if the eye has not changed from the first position to the second position, adjust, based at least on the location, at least one mirror; if the eye has changed from the first position to the second position, adjust, based at least on the location and based at least on the second position, the at least one mirror; produce the laser beam; and direct the laser beam to the location for a period of time.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2020Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: ALCON INC.Inventors: Johannes Loerner, Peter Riedel, Linda Weise

Patent number: 10086488Abstract: The invention relates to a protective cover comprising a plurality of protective cover segments (1), which can be moved telescopically against one another and which have a covering leg (2) and a supporting leg (3), and comprising a connecting element or bellows (4). When the protective cover is telescopically extended, an elastic restoring element produces a torque (M) and transfers said torque to the supporting leg (3). The invention is characterized in that the elastic restoring element is an integral component of the connecting element (4) in that the connecting element (4) has flexural rigidity and is connected to the supporting leg (3) in a planar manner along a height portion (h) of the supporting leg (3). Owing to the invention, an additional elastic restoring element and the attachment thereof to the supporting leg are no longer necessary.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2014Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: ARNO ARNOLD GMBHInventors: Thomas Kreutzer, Thomas Christlieb, Alexander Grimm, Maximilian Roehnert, Tatjana Bock, Peter Weise, Josef Gawlik

Patent number: 7007552Abstract: A multi-channel pressure sensor module (10) for integration in a hydraulic/electrical control unit of a vehicular braking system is shown. A body or manifold (16) mounts a plurality of strain gauge sense element assemblies (12) each having a port for connection to a fluid pressure source to be monitored. An electronic module assembly (14) has a contact printed circuit board (24) and a sense element printed circuit board (22) sandwiching a spacer/support member (20) and electrically coupled together by a flexible circuit board (26). The spacer/support member (20) is formed with pockets (20e, 20f) for receipt of discrete electronic components and to provide access to wire bond pads (22c) and sense element openings (22b). First and second sets of guide posts (20c, 20d) extend from the spacer/support member for alignment of the circuit boards as well as the electronic module assembly on the base.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2004Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Peter A. Weise, Thomas R. Maher

Patent number: 6782758Abstract: A port fitting is formed with a closed, pedestal end forming a diaphragm on which a strain gauge sensor is mounted. A support member is received on the pedestal end and is formed with a flat end wall having an aperture aligned with the sensor. A portion of a flexible circuit assembly is bonded to the flat end wall with a connector disposed over the support member. A tubular outer housing is fitted over the several components and its bottom portion is welded to the port fitting while its top portion places a selected load on an O-ring received about the connector as well as internal components of the transducer. In one embodiment, a loading washer (72a) is disposed over the O-ring on a first portion (70a) of a two portion connector (70) and retained by a second connector portion (70b). Protrusions (76a1) formed on the tubular housing (76) pass through cut-outs in the second connector portion to place a load on the loading washer.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2003Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventor: Peter A.

Patent number: 6453747Abstract: A port fitting (12, 42) is formed with a closed, pedestal end forming a diaphragm (12a, 42b) on which a strain gauge sensor (22) is mounted. A support member (16, 44) is received on the pedestal end and is formed with a flat end wall (16a, 44a) having an aperture (16c, 44c) aligned with the sensor. A portion of a flexible circuit assembly (24a, 58a) is bonded to the flat end wall. An electronics chamber is formed in a connector (18, 46) which is inverted and maintained at a selected height adjacent to the flat end wall of the support member to facilitate soldering of the flexible circuit to terminals (20, 48) in the connector and electronic components to the flexible circuit. The port fitting, when assembled to the support member, is also maintained at the selected height adjacent to the inverted connector to facilitate wire bonding the sensor to the bonded portion of the flexible circuit.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2000Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Inventors: Peter A.
