  • Protection circuit for an inverter as well as inverter system
    Patent number: 9640978
    Abstract: A protective circuit for an inverter is disclosed, the protective circuit comprising a safety element, a switching arrangement, and a control circuit, with the safety element being arranged in a feed line to the power element, and the switching device being switched to the safety element such that the switching arrangement bridges the safety element when the switching arrangement is in a conducting state. The control circuit is embodied such that it, upon receipt of one control pulse or several successive control pulses, emits a switching signal to a switching arrangement for a predetermined period of time, with the switching arrangement being switched through in case of periodic receipt of the control pulses and with the absence of the control pulse opening the switching arrangement after a predetermined period of time, and triggering a protection of the inverter by the safety element.

  • Surgical cutting device and methods of using same
    Patent number: 9636134
    Abstract: A vibrational assembly for operative coupling to a surgical cutting element. The vibrational assembly receives a portion of the surgical cutting element and imparts vibration to the surgical cutting element within a single plane. In combination, the vibrational assembly and the surgical cutting element form a surgical cutting device.
