Abstract: A method is described for displaying an image of an illumination field of a medical operation. The method includes recording an image at an illumination field of an operation, receiving a color temperature signal representative of an operating lamp that illuminates the illumination field of the operation, based on the received color temperature signal, adjusting parameters to compensate for differences in the received color temperature signal from white balance to produce a white balanced image, and outputting the white balanced image to a monitor.

Abstract: An operating lamp includes a lamp body for receiving a light source, a first light source housed in the lamp body and adapted for illuminating an illumination area of an operating area, and a second light source housed in the lamp body and adapted for illuminating a central portion of the illumination area. The brightness of the second light source is controllable independently of the brightness of the first light source to enhance the brightness of the central portion of the illumination area.

Abstract: A coupling mechanism for selectively coupling an equipment rack to a stationary receptacle unit and to a mobile equipment cart, the coupling mechanism includes a suspension mount disposed on the equipment rack, a first receptacle element, and a second receptacle element. The first receptacle element is disposed on the stationary receptacle unit and configured to receive the suspension mount of the equipment rack to support the equipment rack on the stationary receptacle unit. The second receptacle element disposed on the mobile equipment cart and configured to receive the suspension mount of the equipment rack to support the equipment rack on the equipment cart. The second receptacle element is movable along a column of the equipment cart.

Abstract: A tripod head (5, 5?) is provided for a support for a supply device for patients, with an elongated supply part (10, 10?) with feeds (11, 12) of supply lines and a carrying device (13, 13?, 14, 14?, 16, 19) attached to the supply part for carrying appliances. The carrying device is adjustable in position on the supply part.

Abstract: An operating lamp includes a plurality of illumination elements arranged in discrete groups. The illumination elements include at least one white illumination element, adapted to emit a white light, and multiple colored illumination elements, each adapted to emit a non-white, colored light. The operating lamp also includes a controller in communication with the illumination elements, and one or more storage devices configured to communicate with the controller. Each of the storage devices is associated with one or more of the groups of illumination elements, and each of the storage devices contains a set of power values for each associated group. The controller is configured to control illumination of each group of illumination elements individually, based on the associated power values.

Abstract: The present invention relates to swivel arm (21) of a ceiling-mounted stand, said arm consisting of a hollow profile and comprising an upper side (5) and a bottom side (6) arranged opposite thereto, a lateral opening (11) that corresponds to the profile cross-section and can be closed with a cover (3), an upper opening (9) in the upper side (5) that is provided for a bearing point, and a mounting opening (4) in the bottom side that is arranged opposite to the upper opening. By providing the mounting opening (4) in the bottom side (6) opposite to the opening (9) of the arm (21), insertion of a cable harness or tube package from the upper opening (9) into the arm (21) is facilitated to an essential degree.
