Publication number: 20250049531Abstract: A medical quick coupling system includes a guide sleeve into which a medical instrument or medical device can be received and aligned or oriented. A quick coupling includes a radially inner carrier sleeve, in which the guide sleeve can be received and aligned or oriented, and a radially outer actuating sleeve that is movable relative to the carrier sleeve, with a receiving position and a fixing position. A coupling mechanism is arranged between the actuating sleeve and carrier sleeve, so that insertion of the guide sleeve into the quick coupling moves the coupling mechanism from a disengaged position to an engaged position. The coupling mechanism thereby disengages the actuating sleeve from the receiving position into the fixing position. Actuation of the actuating sleeve from the fixing position against a pretension force into the receiving position moves the coupling mechanism from the engaged position into the disengaged position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventor: Lukas Hahn

Publication number: 20250017576Abstract: A medical fastening adapter is detachably fastenable to a fastening section of a medical robot arranged within a sterile cover or barrier. The fastening adapter includes a support structure with an instrument interface. The fastening adapter also includes at least a first, a second, and a third geometric coupling structure designed for positive connection to the fastening section. An adjusting element is operable to change positions of at least the first, second, and third geometric coupling structures relative to one another so that in a first state, the fastening adapter is couplable to the fastening section, and in a second state, the fastening adapter is non-detachably fixed to the fastening section, such that the position of the fastening adapter is fixed relative to the fastening section via the first, second, and third coupling structures. A medical fastening system and a medical device can include the medical fastening adapter.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Lukas Hahn, John Gray-Dreizler, Jan Dahmen, Markus Nesper, Pedro Morales

Publication number: 20240144696Abstract: A method of determining information related to a road user in an environment of a vehicle includes receiving, from vehicle sensors, a digital image and a Lidar point cloud. The digital image and the Lidar point cloud represent a scene in the environment of the vehicle. The method includes detecting a road user in the scene based on the received digital image and Lidar point cloud. The method includes generating a combined digital representation of the detected road user by combining corresponding image data and Lidar data associated with the detected road user. The method includes determining information related to the detected road user by processing the combined digital representation of the detected road user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Lukas Hahn, André Paus, Maximilian Schäfer

Publication number: 20240039364Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a covering, such as a casing, for a component of an electrical drive system. Components of this kind are, for example, the electric motor or the inverter of an electric motor. Both the inverter and the electric motor itself generate noise at high frequencies, for instance between 6 kHz and 12 kHz, due to the switch elements used in them. These noises should not escape to the exterior because they are disruptive in terms of both frequency and volume. The present disclosure shows a cover for absorbing these noises, that is cost-effective and can be arranged close to the electric motor and its components.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Franz SCHWEIGGART, Brian HEATH, Luca BUMB, Lukas HAHN, Andreas MAIER, Claudio PEDICILLO, Andreas KAST
