  • Patent number: 11953866
    Abstract: A prediction control development device according to one aspect of the present invention generates a prediction model of a control amount by analyzing first time-series data of the control amount and provides the generated prediction model to a controller. The prediction control development device acquires second time-series data showing transition of a value of the control amount during prediction control using the prediction model, and evaluates prediction accuracy of the prediction model based on a difference between a prediction value by the prediction model and a value of the second time-series data. When the prediction accuracy of the prediction model is not allowable, the prediction control development device analyzes the second time-series data to newly generate a prediction model of the control amount, and provides the newly generated prediction model to the controller.

  • Publication number: 20230301775
    Abstract: A multifocal diffractive lens is provided which achieves efficient use of light. The multifocal diffractive lens 100 includes a diffraction grating 1c. Negative-order light L2 produces a focal point f2 for far vision and 0-order light L1 produces a focal point f1 nearer to that for far vision. The number of focal points is two or more. The focal position fc for far vision in polychromatic performance evaluation is located nearer to the multifocal diffractive lens than the focal position fs for far vision in monochromatic performance evaluation.

  • Patent number: 9693857
    Abstract: Provided is technology which can prevent plunger deformation and further stabilize an intraocular lens insertion operation, even when an insertion tube section of an intraocular lens insertion apparatus has been further reduced in terms of the diameter thereof and has been made flatter. The intraocular lens insertion apparatus includes: a tip end region where a plunger comes into contact with an intraocular lens main body and an intraocular lens holding section; and a bar-shaped section extending from the rear end of this tip end region to the rear of the plunger. The bar-shaped section has a fixed thickness in the direction of the optical axis of the intraocular lens, and has an increasing thickness in a portion where the distance from the tip end of the tip end region is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction and perpendicular to the plunger advancement direction.
