  • Patent number: 12287536
    Abstract: A progressive spectacle lens, a method for its production, and a related computer program are disclosed. The progressive spectacle lens has a progressive surface including a central viewing zone, a lower viewing zone, two peripheral vision zones extending bilaterally from a vertical meridian of the progressive surface, and an upper viewing zone. The central viewing zone has a surface power providing a first refracting power for distance vision and the lower viewing zone has a greater surface power than the central viewing zone providing a second refracting power corresponding to near vision and being connected to the central viewing zone by a first progressing power region. The progressive spectacle lens generates a retarding or arresting effect on myopia progression, especially in myopic juveniles.

  • Patent number: 10719915
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for determining a defocussing value (?z, ?z1, ?z2) for at least one image feature in an image, wherein at least one monochromatic image of an object is generated, wherein the defocussing value (?z, ?z1, ?z2) is determined on the basis of the image and depending on the wavelength (?) of the monochromatic image, and a method and apparatus for image-based determination of a dimensional size.

  • Patent number: 10309765
    Abstract: Coordinate measuring machine, comprising an optical sensor for capturing image data of a workpiece. The optical sensor comprises a lens, which defines an optical axis, and an illumination device for illuminating the workpiece. The illumination device comprises a diffusely radiating luminous body and an optical filter having a plurality of separate light passages. Light emitted by the luminous body enters the filter on an underside thereof, passes through the light passages and emerges again from the filter on an opposite top side thereof. Each of the light passages transmits only light rays that form an angle smaller than a predefined limiting angle with a longitudinal axis of the respective light passage. The lens and the filter are inclined relative to one another in such a way that a normal vector aligned perpendicularly to the top side of the filter forms an inclination angle other than 0° with the optical axis.

  • Patent number: 9826201
    Abstract: A method and a measuring machine for determining dimensional properties of a measurement object each use a workpiece table and a camera having an image sensor and an imaging optics. The imaging optics exhibits aberrations and is configured to be focused on a plurality of different working positions relative to the workpiece table. The aberrations are minimized by using first calibration values provided for a defined working position. A first working distance of the camera relative to a region of interest is determined. Subsequently, the imaging optics is focused, using the first working distance and using second calibration values that represent an image field curvature of the camera, such that the region of interest is substantially brought into a defined working position. Subsequently, the image recording and image evaluation take place to determine measurement values that represent the dimensional properties of the measurement object in the region of interest.

  • Patent number: 9002189
    Abstract: A long-range optical device has at least one tube in which an optical system is positioned and has at least one image stabilization unit which moves at least one optical assembly of the optical system relative to the at least one tube. The device has at least one signal processing unit which actuates the at least one image stabilization unit in one mode of a plurality of modes where a respective movement situation of the long-range optical device is assigned to each mode. The device also has a mode detection unit that determines the mode and ascertains at least one comparative value from a respective location derivative value of a trajectory formed from a first movement and a second movement of the long-range optical device and compares the at least one comparative value to a respective limiting value.
