  • Patent number: 11926307
    Abstract: A method for defining at least one characteristic curve which, in a pressure-actuated brake system of a vehicle, represents a relationship between a brake pressure and a brake demand), and for operating a pressure-actuated brake system of a vehicle, in which at least one brake cylinder can be supplied with a pressurized medium under a brake pressure, and in which the brake pressure is formed based on at least one such characteristic curve, and to a pressure-actuated brake system of a vehicle in which at least one brake cylinder can be supplied with a pressurized medium under a brake pressure.

  • Patent number: 10368950
    Abstract: A drive arrangement for an endoscopic shaft instrument, preferably an instrument which is intended for use in connection with a surgical robot, has a drive arrangement that has an instrument housing (12) on a proximal shaft end. At least one housing shaft (22) is mounted in the instrument housing (12). The shaft is drivingly connected to a traction device which is provided for controlling an instrument head on a distal shaft end. Furthermore, the drive arrangement has a drive unit having at least one drive shaft. The housing shaft (22) can be drivingly connected to said drive shaft. The at least one housing shaft (22) is oriented at an angle to the drive shaft (30) and the drive shaft can be drivingly connected thereto.

  • Patent number: 10064679
    Abstract: An endoscopic shank instrument has a tool carrier which is arranged at a distal shank end, is bendable relative to the shank and carries a tool. The tool includes at least one electrode which is conductively connectable to a voltage source via an electrical lead led through the shank. The lead is formed by a flexible circuit board in the region of the tool carrier and of the bending of the tool carrier.

  • Publication number: 20150265355
    Abstract: An endoscopic instrument for the connection to an operation robot. The endoscopic instrument includes an instrument housing, to which a shank with at least one instrument part arranged at the distal side of the shank connects distally. The instrument part and/or the shank are movable relative to the instrument housing and for this are each actively connected to control. The control can be coupled, via a translatorily movable coupling element coupled thereto and projecting out of the instrument housing, to a linear drive unit which can be connected to the instrument housing at the outer side.
