  • Publication number: 20240366283
    Abstract: An electrosurgical system and a method for the operation thereof are disclosed. The electrosurgical system includes a supply apparatus and an electrosurgical instrument connected thereto having at least one instrument electrode. By means of the instrument electrode, biological tissue of a patient can be treated, for example by creation of a spark between the instrument electrode and tissue. The supply apparatus evaluates at least one operating parameter of the operating circuit, which includes the electrosurgical instrument and the treated tissue, and which is supplied with electrical power by the supply apparatus. A tissue type of the treated tissue is recognized by evaluation of at least one operating parameter. Thereupon at least one electrical parameter of the provided electrical power can be adapted or modified so that the electrical power provided to the electrosurgical instrument is optimized for the tissue type of the currently treated tissue.

  • Patent number: 11261962
    Abstract: A hydrostatic travel drive includes a hydraulic pump for the purpose of supplying pressure medium to a hydraulic motor of the travel drive that can be coupled to an output, which pump can be coupled to a drive machine. The hydraulic pump has an actuating cylinder with at least one cylinder chamber and a swept volume which can be adjusted via the actuating cylinder, and at least one electrically activatable pressure valve via which the cylinder chamber can be charged with an adjustingly active actuating pressure. The travel drive further includes device via which a pressure of the hydraulic pump can be limited by means of influencing the actuating pressure.

  • Publication number: 20200003303
    Abstract: A hydrostatic traction drive includes a hydraulic pump for supplying pressure medium to a hydraulic motor of the traction drive. The hydraulic pump has an actuation cylinder with at least one cylinder space and a swept volume which can be adjusted thereby. At least one electrically actuable pressure valve is provided, by means of which an actuation pressure which has an adjusting effect can be applied to the cylinder space. In addition, the traction drive has a device by means of which a pressure of the hydraulic pump can be limited by influencing the actuation pressure.

  • Patent number: 9551416
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for changing gear stages in a transmission having a hydrostatic transmission and a downstream manual transmission, and a corresponding transmission arrangement. First, a desire to shift is detected within the manual transmission to change the gear stages. The hydrostatic transmission and the downstream manual transmission are activated to change the gear stage of the downstream transmission. Whether the gear stage to be engaged through a gear stage change was successfully engaged is detected by a detection device, which is connected to an electronic control unit of the transmission arrangement. If the engagement of the gear stage to be engaged is not successful, the original gear stage is reengaged. After the engagement of the original gear stage, the downstream transmission is again activated such that the gear stage to be engaged is engaged.

  • Patent number: 9482246
    Abstract: A hydrostatic drive, especially a hydrostatic fan drive, includes a hydraulic constant-displacement pump configured to drive a hydraulic motor for a fan. The drive further includes a hydraulic machine configured to supply a second hydraulic circuit with a pressure medium. The constant-displacement pump is configured to be hydraulically combined with the hydraulic machine.

  • Patent number: 7983825
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a transmission arrangement for changing gears in a transmission with a hydrostatic transmission and a manual gearbox (4) connected downstream from it. First the output torque of a hydrostatic motor (9) is reduced. After the reduction of the output torque of the hydrostatic motor (9), an engaged gear (12, 13) of the manual gearbox (4) which is connected downstream is disengaged. An output rotational speed of the hydrostatic motor (9) corresponding to the gear (13, 12) to be engaged is determined. The gear ratio of the hydrostatic transmission is then adjusted, so that the output rotational speed of the hydrostatic motor (9) is higher than the determined corresponding output rotational speed. After this increased output rotational speed is reached, the gear (13, 12) to be engaged is engaged.
