Patent number: 5868739Abstract: A system for controlling the operation of a high frequency biological tissue cutting device for cutting biological tissue with high-frequency current having a HF generator component designed so that the amplitude of the voltage (UG) applied to the tissue can be changed. At least one adjustment device is provided to adjust one of the characteristic values (K) of the high frequency generator component to a 1st desired value (b), related to the output of an indicator device that indicates by an electrical signal (d) the size and intensity of the electric arc occurring between the surgical probe and the tissue during cutting. A desired-value transmitter provides a second desired value (c) representing the desired size and intensity of the electric arc.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1995Date of Patent: February 9, 1999Assignee: Karl Storz GmbH & Co.Inventors: Heinz Lindenmeier, Georg Lohr, Karl Fastenmeier, Gerhard Flachenecker, deceased

Patent number: 5801663Abstract: The pane antenna for a very high or ultra-high frequency range includes heating conductors arranged on a window pane between two transverse busbars; at least one wire-shaped conductor forming a first antenna conductor crossing at right angles to at least one heating conductor and coupled by galvanic connection with the heating conductors at a low impedance to create a capacitive antenna region adjoining their crossing points; an antenna terminal outside the heating field on the window pane; a second antenna conductor connecting the antenna terminal with the first antenna conductor and a power supply network for supplying direct current to the busbars without an additional network for increasing impedance connected between the busbars and the vehicle body. The two transverse busbars are arranged so that each heating conductor extends between and is connected with the busbars.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 1996Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: Fuba Automotive GmbHInventors: Heinz Lindenmeier, Gerhard Flachenecker, deceased, Jochen Hopf, Leopold Reiter

Patent number: 5749869Abstract: The present invention relates to high-frequency generator for cutting tissue having adjustment devices, with which at least one of the momentary electric output values, such as e.g., current, voltage, power or electric arc can be set.The present invention is distinguished by, for improvement of the initial incision behavior, an electronic desired-value transmitter and a measurement device having an evaluation unit for direct and/or indirect determination of cutting being provided and said electronic desired-value transmitter providing upon commencement of an incision a particularly suited generator setting for the initial incision as long as said measurement device signals tissue-separating cutting of the probe and thereupon providing a lower desired value for the generator in such a manner that normal cutting corresponding to the desired surgical goal ensues.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1995Date of Patent: May 12, 1998Assignee: Karl Storz GmbH & Co.Inventors: Heinz Lindenmeier, Georg Lohr, Karl Fastenmeier, Gerhard Flachenecker, deceased

Patent number: 5266960Abstract: Disclosed is a pane antenna installed in a heated window pane of a motor vehicle to receive frequencies above the high frequency range. The antenna includes at least one wire-shaped first antenna conductor extending across parallel heating conductors of a heating field. The crossing points of the first antenna conductor with heating conductors are preferably in galvanic contact to create a capacitive antenna region along the first antenna conductor. The capacitive antenna region is coupled via a second antenna conductor extending also perpendicularly to the heating conductors, to an antenna terminal arranged on the window pane in proximity to a rim. The window pane is surrounded by a conductive frame and a grounding point is created on the frame opposite the antenna terminal.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1991Date of Patent: November 30, 1993Assignee: FUBA Hans Kolbe Co.Inventors: Heinz Lindenmeier, Gerhard Flachenecker, deceased, Jochen Hopf, Leopold Reiter

Patent number: 5138330Abstract: An active window pane antenna for use in motor vehicles includes an antenna conductor arranged on the window pane and being connected via a conductor of negligible length to an input terminal of an active four terminal network also arranged on the pane. The output terminals of the network are connected via a first section of a transmission line to an antenna connector whose ground contact is connected for high frequencies to a ground point on the body of the motor vehicle. The impedance of the first section of the transmission line is not negligible for the received frequency bands and the input impedance of the four terminal network is balanced with respect to the first section. A second section of the transmission line extends from the antenna connector to a receiver.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1990Date of Patent: August 11, 1992Assignee: Hans Kolbe & Co.

Patent number: 5049892Abstract: The pane antenna system has a plurality of antennas arranged on a non-conductive sheet installed in a metal body of a motor vehicle. Each antenna includes antenna conductors secured on the non-conductive sheet and connected to an input terminal of an assigned four-terminal network. The four-terminal networks are located on or in the proximity of the non-conductive sheet in the metal vehicle body. The other input terminal of respective networks is directly connected with an output terminal of the network. The other output terminal is connected via a high-frequency output line to a collecting or interconnecting region for output signals of all four-terminal networks. From the interconnection region all signals are fed via a single cable strand to a receiver. The cable strand includes a plurality of transmission lines, preferably in the form of coaxial cables, and defines an initial portion bridging the interconnection region on the non-conductive sheet and a ground point on the metal vehicle body.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1990Date of Patent: September 17, 1991Assignee: Hans Kolbe & Co.
