The application relates to a method for calibrating an apparatus (10) for the additive production of an optical element, in particular a spectacle lens, in a printing process by applying droplets of printing ink (23), the apparatus (10) comprising a print head (12) with a print head nozzle arrangement (26) which has a plurality of print head nozzles (30.n.m) for producing droplets of printing ink (23). According to the invention, a mean droplet volume Vm of the printing ink droplets (23) is determined as a calibration variable of the apparatus (10) for additive manufacturing of the optical element. The invention also relates to the manufacture of an optical element, in particular an optical element from the group consisting of a lens, intraocular lens, contact lens, spectacle lens and an apparatus (10) for the manufacture of an optical element, in particular a spectacle lens.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a spectacle lens (80), in which a plurality of stacked volume layers VLi, i = 1, 2, 3, ... is generated, each of which is produced from a specific volume layer starting material Mi, i = 1, 2, 3, ... which contains at least one reactive component. According to the invention, the volumetric layer starting material Mi of each volumetric layer VLi, i = 1, 2, 3, ... is subjected to free radical polymerization by means of UV radiation prior to application of the overlying volumetric layer VLi+1, i = 1, 2, 3, ... by means of UV radiation for radical polymerization of the at least one reactive component in the presence of a inhibitor present on a surface of the volume layer starting material Mi in such a way that a volume layer VSi and a surface layer OFSi complementary to the volume layer VSi are formed in the volume layer VLi with the volume layer starting material Mi, wherein in the volume layer VSi , i = 1, 2, 3, ... the cure level of the at least one reactive component assumes at least the value PVSi, i = 1, 2, 3, ... and wherein the following applies to the cure level POFSi, i = 1, 2, 3, ... in the surface layer OFSi: POFSi < PVSi. By applying a volume layer VLi+1, i = 1, 2, 3, ... on the volume layer VLi, i = 1, 2, 3, ... after treating the volume layer starting material Mi therein, the volume layer starting material Mi+1 of the volume layer VLi+1, i = 1, 2, 3, ... is at least partially mixed with the volume layer starting material Mi of the volume layer VLi, i = 1, 2, 3, ... in the surface layer OFSi, i = 1, 2, 3, .... In a transition zone TZi,i+1, i = 1, 2, 3, ... extending from the surface layer OFSi, i = 1, 2, 3, ... of the volume layer VLi, i = 1, 2, 3, ... into the volume layer VLi+1, the volume layer starting material Mi+1 of the volume layer VLi+1 is at least partially mixed with the volume layer starting material Mi of the volume layer VLi in the surface layer OFSi. The mixing is done in such a way that starting from the volume layer VSi the concentration CMi of the volume layer starting material Mi decreases continuously through the surface layer OFSi, i = 1, 2, 3, ... up into the transition zone TZi,i+1 down to a minimum and starting from the volume layer VSi+1 the concentration CMi+1 of the volume layer starting material Mi+1 decreases continuously through the transition zone TZi,i+1, i = 1, 2, 3, ... up into the surface layer OFSi, i = 1, 2, 3, ... down to a minimum.

The invention relates to a computer implemented method for operating a wearable cardiac motion monitoring device (10) comprising at least one motion sensor, the method comprising: acquiring motion data (12) from the at least one motion sensor in a standard mode (14); screening (32) the acquired motion data (12) for one or more predefined motion patterns (22, 24, 26) associated with a high accuracy mode (16, 16'); upon detecting a predefined motion pattern (22, 24, 26) in the acquired motion data (12), temporarily switching (28) to the high accuracy mode. The invention also relates to a corresponding wearable cardiac motion monitoring device.
