A film (50) processing apparatus (20) including a film stretching device (22) and a take-away device (24). The take-away device receives the film after the stretching device and transports the film along a conveying region in a direction of transport (X). The take-away device includes opposing, first and second conveyor assemblies. The first conveyor assembly has a continuous belt driving a plurality of discrete pads (180a, 180b). Each pad forms a contact face (194a, 194b) extending between leading (200b) and trailing edges (202a). The pads are configured and arranged such that the trailing edge (202a) of a first pad (180a) overlaps the leading edge (200b) of an immediately adjacent second pad (180b) as the first and second pads traverse the conveying region. The overlap is characterised by a line (322) perpendicular to the direction of transport passing at any given moment through the first and second pads. A shape of the contact face can define a major central axis that is non-perpendicular and non-parallel with the direction of transport. The invention also relates to a method of processing a film using such an apparatus.

A method and apparatus to manufacture a coherent bundle of scintillating fibers is disclosed. A method includes providing a collimated bundle having a glass preform with capillaries therethrough known in the industry as a glass capillary array, and infusing the glass capillary array with a scintillating polymer or a polymer matrix containing scintillating nanoparticles.

A method for producing a film having a fine irregular pattern intermittently includes feeding a film to be processed intermittently from upstream side to the vicinity of the surface of a die having a fine irregular pattern, transferring the pattern to the surface of the film by pressing the film against the surface of a die, stripping the processed film on which a pattern is formed from the surface of a die, and then feeding a new film to be processed to the die, wherein the processed film is stripped from the surface of a die by gripping and moving the processed film to the upstream side, and then the processed film is fed by a length of intermittent feed to the surface of a die while preventing the processed film from creasing.

The invention relates to a method for producing an intraocular lens, including the steps of providing a container which is transparent to electromagnetic radiation and in which a liquid that is curable by the electromagnetic radiation is arranged; irradiating the liquid with a set of images formed by the electromagnetic radiation, which each depict an intraocular lens, with each of the images of the set being radiated into the liquid at a different angle of incidence with respect to a reference plane that extends through the liquid, as a result of which the liquid is cured and the cured liquid forms the intraocular lens, an actuator, a solar module and/or a sensor being arranged in the liquid and the intraocular lens being formed around the actuator, the solar module and/or the sensor.

Ophthalmic lenses and method of manufacturing ophthalmic lenses are disclosed. The lenses are manufactured with markers for aligning the lenses in a particular rotational alignment with respect to a spectacle frame. The lenses can also be provided with scattering parts for defocus to prevent myopia.

To form a multilayer plastic lens, a plurality of intermediate layers of a plastic material are injected one after another onto a basic part in an injection molding device in different cavities, wherein at least some of the cavities have a common first runner system with a common material feed. At least its [sic—“one”—“seine” is an obvious typo for “eine” meaning “one”—Tr.Ed.] outer layer consisting of a plastic material is then injected in a cavity by means of a second runner system, the second runner system having a material feed of its own and a control of its own.

An optical substrate according to one embodiment includes a support substrate, and a projection-depression structure layer on a surface of which shapes of projections and depressions are formed, the projection-depression structure layer being laminated on the support substrate. The extending directions of projection portions contained in the projection-depression structure layer are irregularly distributed seen in planar view. An outline seen in planar view of a projection portion contained in a region per unit area of the projection-depression structure layer includes more straight line sections than curved line sections.

A position detector includes a detection unit configured to detect light from a first diffraction grating including a first pattern disposed in a first direction, and light from a second diffraction grating including a second pattern disposed in the first direction, and a control unit configured to obtain a relative position between the first and the second diffraction gratings based on the light detected by the detection unit. The position detector has a third pattern formed in a second direction different from the first direction at edges of the first pattern of the first diffraction grating, the third pattern has a width smaller than a width of the first pattern of the first diffraction grating.

A camera module includes an optical assembly, a filter and a molded photosensitive assembly mounted under the optical assembly and the filter, wherein the molded photosensitive assembly comprises a main body, a plurality of electronic components, a photosensitive chip, and a circuit board electrically connected with the electronic components and the photosensitive chip, wherein the electronic components, the photosensitive chip and the circuit board are positionally fixed with each other by the main body, wherein the photosensitive chip is fixed and surrounded by the bottom of the main body to keep distance with the filter, wherein the main body comprises a container body supporting the optical assembly thereon and a lower body supporting the filter thereon, wherein the lower body is extended from the inner side of the container body.

Molding methods and molds for making a synthetic resin molded product include disposing a curable liquid resin mixture in a recess of a female mold. The curable liquid resin mixture is then simultaneously agitated and degassed by a mixer while under a partial vacuum. More specifically, at least the female mold is orbited around an orbital axis while being rotated about a rotational axis that is eccentric to the orbital axis. After being thoroughly mixed and degassed, the liquid mixture is then cured in the mold unit.
