  • Publication number: 20110011133
    Abstract: A lens is disclosed for lighting purposes suited in particular as a lens for a poly-ellipsoid reflector headlamp for imaging the light emitted by a light source and reflected by a poly-ellipsoid reflector for the purpose of producing a predetermined lighting pattern. At least one of the two lens surfaces comprises areas having different optical scattering effects which areas are configured as zones that are transferred from a mold to the surface by a hot-pressing process.

  • Patent number: 7469832
    Abstract: A lens for illumination purposes is disclosed, in particular a lens for a headlamp for projecting the light emitted by a light source and reflected by a reflector in order to produce a pre-defined illumination pattern. Each lens is provided with an individualized code. For the purpose of coding, a laser is used, by means of which extremely small micro cracks are produced on the surface of the lens and can be read by means of a suitable reading device.

  • Publication number: 20030014999
    Abstract: A method for producing thin glass articles from low-viscosity glass, in particular of glass with viscositiesn<10 dPas is presented, in which a thin-bodied glass composition is fed into a lower tool (1), and the glass composition is compressed by driving an upper tool (4), positioned opposite the lower tool (1), and the lower tool (1) together. The invention also relates to the use of the method. A method for producing thin glass articles is to be furnished, in which the problem of rapid cooling that occurs in the prior art is eliminated, so as to enhance the quality of the finished glass and to create the possibility of producing thin glass articles by means of pressing.
