  • Publication number: 20080040446
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for transferring data, in particular data pertaining to copyright, from a server with a first Internet Protocol address to a mobile device with a second Internet Protocol address. A mobile device transmits a request for at least one file by a mobile device. The first server receives the request of the mobile device and identifies the mobile device based on the Internet Protocol address. The authorization of the mobile device is checked based on the Internet Protocol address of the mobile device. The files requested by the mobile device are transferred when the mobile device has an appropriate authorization.

  • Publication number: 20070150056
    Abstract: An insertion device for surgical implantation of an intraocular lens in the eye is disclosed. The device comprises a plunger (200) which is displaceable within a sleeve (110) for guided insertion of the lens. The plunger (200) has a hollow portion (212), and a spring (250) is disposed within the hollow portion (212) of the plunger (200). The spring (250) is elastically compressed when the plunger (200) is advanced in a distal direction, thus creating a rearward biasing force for improved control of the insertion process. In an advantageous embodiment, the spring (250) may be pre-biased, and the spring force acts only in a final phase of advancing the plunger (200).

  • Patent number: 7217274
    Abstract: A hand-operated injector for inserting a lens into an eye has a grip body (1) with a lens holder (13) for holding a lens, and a plunger (2) arranged displaceably in the grip body (1) for guided insertion of the lens into the eye. An actuating means (5, 6) for displacing the plunger (2) relative to the grip body (1) is arranged on the plunger (2), which actuating means (5, 6) is rotatable relative to the plunger (2). The injector can thus be rotated through any desired angle, without having to substantially change the position of the hand pressing on the plunger (2), in particular the position of the thumb.

  • Publication number: 20060215856
    Abstract: The invention is based on the idea of providing a detection device which is capable of distinguishing whether a microphone or audio signal processing arrangement connected thereto operates on an analog or digital basis. An analog or digital connection is selected in accordance with that determination procedure. Consequently there is provided a detection device which has a sensing device, a determining device and a selecting device. The sensing device senses an external signal fed to the detection device and forwards that signal to the determining device. The determining device determines whether the sensed external signal was transmitted by an analog or digital signal processing apparatus and transmits a corresponding determination signal to the selecting device. The selecting device then selects either an analog or a digital connection, in dependence on the determination signal.

  • Patent number: 7097649
    Abstract: A device for inserting a lens into an eye has a grip body (1) with a lens holder (13) for holding the lens, and a plunger (2) which can be displaced in the grip body (1) for guided insertion of the lens into the eye. A ball-bearing bush (3) is arranged in the grip body (1), the plunger (2) being mounted so as to be laterally displaceable in this ball-bearing bush (3). This allows the device to be operated using one hand, said device additionally having good slide properties and permitting an at all times guided lateral or rotational movement of the plunger.

  • Patent number: 7008082
    Abstract: The reflector for a light of higher power has a base body made of glass or glass ceramic and a protective jacket provided on the outer surface of the base body. The base body is formed with a receptacle for a light source, especially a gas discharge lamp, and an interior mirror surface for reflecting light. The protective jacket includes a mat or is a mat-shaped body, i.e. a woven or knit textile fabric of natural or synthetic material. Preferably it is a glass-fiber-reinforced mat. In addition to preventing splinters from flying around, the protective jacket advantageously also provides temperature equalization throughout the reflector. It also helps to prevent scattered light. The protective mat or jacket may be attached to the base body with an adhesive, such as a water glass.

  • Patent number: 6642484
    Abstract: In the method for coating substrates the substrates are placed in recesses in a glass-ceramic plate or plates arranged over infrared high-temperature radiators with the surfaces to be coated on the radiators. The substrates are heated from below to the process temperature required for the coating. Subsequently the substrates are removed from the heating device, introduced into a coating chamber and coated. The preheating device for the substrates has two glass-ceramic plates that are placed loosely on top of each other and infrared high-temperature radiators. Substrate receptacles are provided in the glass-ceramic plates by approximately coincident recesses of different size in the plates so that the substrates can be held in close proximately to the radiators during the preheating.
