Abstract: A reverse control system for a saddle riding utility vehicle includes a first switch configured to be displaced from a free position to a depressed position to activate a reversing of the saddle riding utility vehicle. The reverse control system also includes a second switch adapted to be actuated by a user to activate the reversing of the saddle riding utility vehicle. Moreover, a controller is communicatively coupled to the first switch, the second switch, and the drive system. The controller is configured to control the drive system to activate the reversing of the saddle riding utility vehicle in response to the actuation of the second switch, with the first switch being arranged at the depressed position, before elapse of a predefined time duration from the displacement of the first switch to the depressed position from the free position.

Abstract: An accommodative intraocular lens includes a first lens part, a haptic, and a flexible membrane. The flexible membrane is arranged adjacent to a distal optical body surface, delimits a cavity together with the distal optical body surface and is transparent to light. A second lens part has a hollow cylinder coupled releasably to the first lens part, as a result of which the intraocular lens can be brought into a coupling state in which the second lens part is arranged on a distal side of the first lens part and the hollow cylinder is configured to deform the membrane by a longitudinal displacement of the hollow cylinder parallel to the optical axis. The hollow cylinder has on its exterior an outer face and a bearing face arranged adjacent to a proximal end of the outer face and encloses, with the outer face, an angle of less than 180°.

Abstract: An accommodative intraocular lens is for insertion in the capsular bag of an eye. The accommodative intraocular lens has a first lens part, including a first membrane and an optical axis, and a second lens part which can be detachably coupled to the first lens part, whereby the intraocular lens can be transferred to a coupled state.

Abstract: An accommodative intraocular lens for implantation in an eye within a natural capsular bag includes a first lens part with an optical body transparent to light and defining an optical axis, front and rear optical body surfaces, haptics connected permanently to the optical body and designed to come into engagement with the capsular bag, a flexible membrane connected permanently to the haptics or the optical body, the membrane having a center axis which runs congruently or parallel to the optical axis and is transparent to light, and a second lens part with a hollow cylinder which can be positioned with a proximal end on the front membrane surface of the first lens part such that the hollow cylinder and the membrane can be displaced along the optical axis towards the front optical body surface and thus the rear membrane surface undergoes a change in the radius of curvature thereof.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for adjusting at least one drying process designated for producing at least one coating on at least one substrate are provided herein. The at least one drying process is applied to at least one preparation deposited on the at least one substrate, wherein the at least one drying process comprises at least two consecutive drying stages after which the at least one coating is produced Further disclosed are a related method and system for continuously producing the at least one coating on the at least one substrate.

Abstract: A container-transport machine that selectively ejects container includes a transporter that is movable relative to a base and grippers arranged at the transporter. Each gripper suspends a container that is to be transported. An actuator is arranged at the base so as to be stationary relative to the transporter. The actuator is disposed at an ejection position for participating in selectively ejecting an individual container. A selectively-actuatable air nozzle disposed on the base at the ejection position promotes ejection of a container when an opening lever of a gripper interacts with the actuator while the opening lever passes through an ejection position.
