Patents by Inventor Wolf WEIMER

Wolf WEIMER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12589034
    Abstract: A method for carrying out a system test of a laser processing system is disclosed. The method includes the execution of a functional test of a control element of the laser processing system. The method further includes the determination of a variable parameter and the determination of an influence of the determined variable parameter on an intended execution of a laser processing by means of the laser processing system. The execution of the functional test of the control element and the determination of the variable parameter overlap at least partially in time.

  • Publication number: 20250381069
    Abstract: Please substitute the following amended Abstract for the Abstract as currently pending (deleted matter is shown by strikethrough and added matter is shown by underlining): When using an ophthalmological laser therapy system, it is advantageous if the system can be installed globally without a person skilled in the art and flexibly in terms of space. This demands operability at a power consumption of only 1600 watts. The present invention therefore ensures operability even when power peaks occur. An intermediate storage unit for an ophthalmological laser therapy system with power consumption of up to 1600 watts, the system having an electrical load element. Also, an ophthalmological laser therapy system with power consumption of up to 1600 watts, the system having an electrical load element and an intermediate storage unit.

  • Patent number: 12496226
    Abstract: A planning device for generating control data for a treatment apparatus which produces at least one cut surface in the cornea by operation of a laser device, and to a treatment apparatus including a planning device of the specified type. Also, a method for generating control data for such a treatment apparatus, and a method of eye surgery. In this case, a rotation of the cut surface about an axis running substantially parallel to the ocular axis is facilitated during the determination of the cut surfaces.

  • Patent number: 12440381
    Abstract: A planning device that generates control data for a treatment apparatus which produces at least one cut surface in the cornea by application of a laser device. The invention further relates to a treatment apparatus having a planning device of the aforementioned type. The invention further relates to a method of generating control data for this treatment apparatus, and also to a method for eye surgery, at least one cut surface being produced in the cornea by application of a treatment apparatus with a laser device. The planning device has a calculation application that defines corneal cut surfaces, including a lenticule cut and a cap cut, the incision being controlled by the control data such that mutually corresponding locations of the lenticule cut and cap cut are impinged by laser pulses during substantially the same time interval.
