Innovation and Patents


Patents are parts of our engineering expertise

Our patents and development contributions are the results of the engineering capabilities of a high‒trained team with a long experience in all different fields where optical technology is needed cine, machine vision, medicine, military or photo.
From optical design, to prototyping and series, we can help to realize new visions in case studies and with our whole team.

Patents owned by IB/E Klaus Eckerl

Optical System for Image Rotation
Optical system for image rotation comprises two Pechan Prisms located on an optical axis and a lens system located on the same optical axis. The 2 Prisms can be rotated relative to each other around the optical axis.

Optical Inspection System and Method
An inspection system includes optics, an object support for mounting an object in a region of an object plane of the optics, a bright-field light source, and a dark-field light source. The inspection system also includes an image detector having a radiation sensitive substrate disposed in a region of an image plane of the optics and a beam dump.

Patent ownership: Nanda Technologies GmbH
Method for determining optical property of lens system that is utilized as e.g. objective lens of movie camera
A system for determining at least one optical property of a lens system, comprising: a position sensitive detector for generating image data representing an image projected onto the detector, and a controller configured to receive the image data, to perform a first analysis of the image data in order to determine an identifier of a partial pattern contained in the image represented by the image data, to perform a second analysis of the image data in order to determine at least one property based on the image of the partial pattern, and to generate data representing the at least one optical property of the lens system associated with an image position of the image based on the determined at least one property.
