A data record contains at least the following data values: spatial coordinates of a reference point at each eye of the wearer; a spatial direction vector for specifying a viewing direction of the wearer through the spectacle lens; and a spatial rim curve or edge curve. The data record can be used to produce a spectacle lens. A method and a computer program for generating the data record, and a method for producing the spectacle lens are also disclosed. It is possible to produce the spectacle lens after a single capture of a data record for adapting the spectacle lenses to the wearer of the pair of spectacles and to the spectacle frame selected by the wearer. A different spectacle lens as the spectacle lens originally selected can subsequently be used as the spectacle lens without having to record a further data record for the adaptation for the wearer.

The invention relates to a novel type of electric inductance arrangement for a series of applications in the field of distance measurement, sensor-based detection of objects, and construction of induction machines. The novelty consists in the type of inductance arrangement of the receiver or transmitter coil, said arrangement being designed in the form of a ladder rung arrangement, wherein the ladder spars short-circuit the rungs. The sum of all the short-circuit currents is an indicator of what is occurring in the surroundings of the arrangement. This could be changing magnetic fields caused by transmitter objects or additional ladder-rung systems acting as transmitters. Multiple such sensors and transmitters can be designed in the ladder-rung form, said sensors and transmitters being connected in parallel or in series according to the application under certain circumstances and if necessary assuming the excitation function by moving a conductor through which a direct current is flowing or by applying alternating currents. The aforementioned inductance arrangement results positively in that the coils can all have a completely crossover-free design and are therefore substantially simpler to technically implement for very different applications in electrical engineering. The applicability ranges from short-range distance measuring devices and long-range object location to light detection and efficient induction machines with large or also very small constructions.

An apparatus for determining the distance between the pupils to yield values representative of lenses properly aligned with the patient's pupils when mounted in the sockets of a spectacle frame. The apparatus consists of a calibration device having spaced fixed marking for placement in the plane of lenses, a camera with a zooming arrangement for taking an image of the subject, and a computer for generating parametric values relevant to the lenses to be ground as a function of the distance between the camera and the subject, the position of the zooming device at the time the image is taken, and the size of the image on the focal plane of the camera.
