Title: Innovations by Inventor Stefan Oelckers
Introduction
Stefan Oelckers is a notable inventor based in Berlin, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of surgical navigation and microscopy. With a total of 2 patents, his work focuses on enhancing the precision and safety of surgical procedures.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a "Method and instrument for surgical navigation." This invention relates to a method for positional optimization in navigation, particularly neural navigation in surgery with an operation microscope. It involves at least one optoelectronic image detector connected to the microscope and a computer system. The data obtained from the image detector provides information on the position of an operation instrument, specifically the instrument tip. The actual position of the instrument is continuously or intermittently determined in a three-dimensional coordinate system. A separation determination is carried out for the positional determination in the z-direction through depth of focus evaluation and/or stereoscopic image analysis. Additionally, the invention includes a navigation instrument that uses marking close to the instrument tip, which lies within the field of view of the microscope during use.
Another significant patent is the "Method for optimized setting of light power at the object plane in the case of reflected light microscopes." This invention focuses on optimizing the light power at the object plane, particularly in surgical microscopes. The method involves checking the extent of thermal danger or damage to the illuminated sections to regulate the light output of a light source when a certain threshold is reached.
