Some portions of Kuen surface in above Wolfram site do not show well.
Portions that ought to be negatively curved look conical, may be
improper limits of u,v parameters and/or too few PlotPoints chosen. In
http://www.zib.de/polthier/Calendar/Kalender88/February88_med.gif this
area is better depicted.
It appears even the 'classical' limits do not show the Kuen details
well enough .See detail due to extended u parameter curling it up
inside my plot:

x=2*(Cos[u]+u*Sin[u])*Sin[v]/(1+u*u*Sin[v]*Sin[v])
y=2*(Sin[u]-u*Cos[u])*Sin[v]/(1+u*u*Sin[v]*Sin[v])
z=Log[Tan[v/2]]+2*Cos[v]/(1+u*u*Sin[v]*Sin[v]) 
ParametricPlot3D[{x,y,z},{u,-3 Pi, Pi},{v,.2,2.9 },
PlotPoints->{37,15}]
