  • Patent number: 11951043
    Abstract: A system for processing a portion in a processing volume of a transparent material by application of focused radiation including a device for generating and an optical system for focusing radiation, with a device for changing the position of the focus of the radiation and a control device. The system includes a controller that controls the ophthalmologic therapy system. The controller is encoded with a scan pattern. The scan pattern includes adjacent strokes with each adjacent stroke having an angle of inclination (?) to the beam axis; and the angle of inclination (?) of the strokes to the beam axis is always larger than or equal to the focal angle (?) of the focused radiation.

  • Patent number: 11352995
    Abstract: A piston pump as a high-pressure fuel pump of a common rail system includes: a pump cylinder; a pump piston moveably mounted in a recess of the pump cylinder, the pump piston being moveable up and down in the recess; and a leakage groove arranged in the pump cylinder in a region of the recess, the leakage groove being coupled with a leakage line configured to discharge a fuel leakage. Between the pump cylinder and the pump piston a different size pairing clearance is formed in first and second portions of the pump cylinder.

  • Patent number: 11229551
    Abstract: A system for processing a portion in a processing volume of a transparent material by application of focused radiation including a device for generating and an optical system for focusing radiation, with a device for changing the position of the focus of the radiation and a control device. This system performs a slow scanning movement of the focus and an independent fast scanning movement of the focus which section can be moved by the slow scanning movement in the entire processing volume in an arbitrary direction; as well as by a system into which a scan pattern is encoded, with scanning movement including at least one lateral base component in the x- and/or y-direction, which is superimposed by components with synchronous change-of-direction-movements in the z-direction and in x-direction and/or y-direction. The invention also includes corresponding methods, a control program product and a planning unit.

  • Publication number: 20180078411
    Abstract: An ophthalmological laser treatment device including a laser system, an examination system for collecting information on the structure of the eye, a positioning system for controlling a therapy laser beam and electromagnetic or mechanical examination waves and a patient interface. The invention further relates to a calibration method and to a treatment method. The invention provides as device and a method, by application of which calibration of treatment laser beam and electromagnetic or mechanical examination waves and optionally optical images can be carried out automatably and repeatedly. An ophthalmological laser treatment device, includes a detection system having a detector and an observation volume configured for the repeatable spatially resolving detection and joint representation of the signals of the treatment laser beam striking the observation volume and the electromagnetic or mechanical examination waves, by corresponding calibration method and laser treatment method, and by a patient interface.
