Publication number: 20210079967Abstract: A brake system for a piece of equipment includes a series of rotors and stators, and a first brake actuator including at least one first piston positioned within a first chamber such that pressurization of the first chamber causes the at least one first piston to operatively engage at least one of rotors or stators such that the rotors and stators are compressed together and thereby create braking torque, and may also include a second brake actuator including at least one spring operatively coupled to at least one second piston positioned within a second chamber such that depressurization of the second chamber causes the at least one second piston to operatively engage at least one of the rotors or stators such that the pluralities of rotors and stators are compressed together and thereby create braking torque.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2020Publication date: March 18, 2021Inventors: David Burns, Chris Davis, Brad Desatnik, Michael Koerth

Patent number: 9861326Abstract: A medical examination facility is provided, wherein the facility includes an imaging apparatus and a mobile patient table. Mechanical coupling devices to be connected to each other are provided on both the imaging apparatus and the mobile patient table for the purpose of mechanically coupling the patient table to the imaging apparatus in an end position. The mechanical coupling device of the imaging apparatus includes a pulling device that is movable to a locking position via a controllable drive motor. In order to automatically move the patient table, the pulling device engages a driver provided on the patient table, before the end position is reached, and carries it by moving to the locking position, in which the patient table is in the end position.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2015Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Koerth, Wolfgang Neuber, Peter Rauh

Patent number: 9770378Abstract: A transportation apparatus configured to dock with a device to which power is supplied is provided. The transportation apparatus includes a first contact element for establishing a first contact with the device and a second contact element for establishing a second contact with the device. An apparatus for assisting in establishing the contact between the second contact element and the device is further provided in the transportation apparatus. The apparatus is operated by a motor. The apparatus is configured to provide power to the motor by supplying power via the first contact.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2014Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Koerth, Matthias Müller, Kerstin Waldbach

Patent number: 9554953Abstract: The embodiments relate to a medical device and to a method for controlling a movement of the mobile medical device. The medical device includes a chassis and a control apparatus, wherein the medical device is embodied by the chassis to perform a movement in at least two spatial directions on a plane of motion and to execute a rotary movement about an axis of rotation standing perpendicularly on the plane of motion, and the control apparatus is embodied for controlling the chassis.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Franz Dirauf, Dieter Heinl, Peter Klemm, Michael Koerth

Patent number: 9248061Abstract: A mobile patient bed includes a bench that may be moved vertically via a lifting mechanism. Vertical movement may be effected via a first, electric drive mechanism including a drive device that may be operated when connected to an energy supply. As an alternative, vertical movement may be effected via a second drive mechanism that may be actuated by the operator using a foot pedal. The drive device is a drive motor that is coupled to the lifting mechanism via a motor shaft and is coupled to the second drive mechanism via a clutch. The clutch is closed with no connection to the energy supply and is opened with connection established. The motor shaft may be driven via the second drive mechanism when the clutch is closed.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2014Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Koerth, Matthias Müller, Wolfgang Neuber, Georg Walberer, Kerstin Waldbach, Paul Weidner
