  • Publication number: 20260021796
    Abstract: One or more example embodiments relates to a method for braking a mobile medical apparatus having a first and second wheel, the method comprising determining a first wheel speed for the first wheel and a second wheel speed for the second wheel; determining a first braking quantity for the first wheel and a second braking quantity for the second wheel, the first braking quantity describing a strength with which the first wheel is braked and the second braking quantity describing a strength with which the second wheel is braked, wherein a smaller braking quantity is determined for a wheel with a lower wheel speed than for a wheel with a higher wheel speed among the first wheel and the second wheel; and applying the first braking quantity and the second braking quantity to brake the first wheel and the second wheel.

  • Patent number: 12127866
    Abstract: A medical device of an embodiment includes at least one movably mounted and motor-adjustable component; at least one drive unit for adjusting the at least one component; at least one motor control unit associated with the drive unit; and at least one sensing unit for sensing a position parameter dependent on the position of the at least one component. According to an embodiment of the invention, a safety function is integrated in the motor control unit. The safety function limits at least one operating parameter associated with the motion of the at least one component to be performed. An apparatus control unit controls the drive unit in dependence on the position parameter in accordance with the safety function. At least one embodiment of the invention further relates to a method for operating a medical device.

  • Patent number: 11980487
    Abstract: A stand is for a medical imaging system. In an embodiment, the stand includes an X-ray tube; a driver to adjust the X-ray tube in at least three spatial degrees of freedom; at least one environmental sensor to acquire at least one environmental parameter; and a controller to control an adjustment movement of the X-ray tube by generating control signals for the drive unit and to adapt the adjustment movement based on the at least one environmental parameter.

  • Publication number: 20080042498
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a machine element of an electric machine, with a plurality of magnetic poles distributed around a machine axis and with at least one coil, having several conductors distributed around the machine axis and each of which is located in a groove, wherein the machine element forms a gap surface enclosing the machine axis, on which (gap surface) when the machine is mounted it adjoins a second machine element via a machine gap and is made of a plastic, and wherein at least in the recesses for the conductors, channel sections are formed through which a coolant can circulate.
